Deleting event suppressions with the CLI by specifying a file

When deleting a list of event suppressions for a specific object, you can specify the object properties by specifying a file that contains those properties. When you specify the -f option and a CSV file, the delete verb deletes a list of event suppressions for a specific object.

The CSV format file must contain either the first 2 or all 5 of the following parameters in this order:

  • instPath – The object's instance path
  • typePath – The object's type path
  • beginTime – The time to begin the suppression, in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
  • endTime – The time to end the suppression, in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
  • repeat – The type of repeat, NONE, EVERYDAY, EVERYWEEK, EVERYMONTH, EVERYYEAR

In CSV format, any comma in a parameter can be escaped by enclosing the parameter in quotes. Quotes can be escaped by using two quotes.
