Example

This example shows how to create a BLPackage from a depot object. The depot object's name and group are required:

Script

# Name of the package.

PACKAGE_NAME="package1"

# Get the ID of the depot group in which the package will be saved.

DEPOT_GROUP_ID=`blcli DepotGroup groupNameToId /parent/group1`

# This boolean value sets the Depot Asset Options - soft link check box. True for checked.

bSoftLinked="false"

# This boolean value sets the File Options - Collect ACL control lists check box. True for checked.

bCollectFileAcl="false"

# This boolean value sets the File Options - Collect File Attributes check box. True for checked.

bCollectFileAttributes="false"

# This boolean value sets the File Options - Copy File Contents check box. True for checked.

bCopyFileContents="true"

# This boolean value sets the Registry Options - Collect ACL check box. True for checked.

bCollectRegistryAcl="false"

# A collection of the above options.

PACKAGE_OPTIONS="$bSoftLinked $bCollectFileAcl $bCollectFileAttributes $bCopyFileContents $bCollectRegistryAcl"

# Name and group of the object.

DEPOT_OBJ_NAME="file1"

DEPOT_OBJ_GROUP="/parent/group1"

# Type of object, see description above for details.

DEPOT_OBJ_TYPE="DEPOT_FILE_OBJECT"

# Get the depot object DBKey from above info.

DEPOT_OBJ_DBKEY=`blcli DepotObject getDBKeyByTypeStringGroupAndName $DEPOT_OBJ_TYPE $DEPOT_OBJ_GROUP $DEPOT_OBJ_NAME`

SNGLE_USER_MODE=RevertTo

REBOOT_MODE=AtJobEnd

# Now create package.

PACKAGE1_DBKEY=`blcli BlPackage createPackageFromDepotObjectByTypeString $PACKAGE_NAME $DEPOT_GROUP_ID $PACKAGE_OPTIONS $DEPOT_OBJ_DBKEY $DEPOT_OBJ_TYPE $SINGLE_USER_MODE $REBOOT_MODE`
