Issuing Wait-for-Enter commands against multiple objects

Some 

Catalog Manager

 commands are referred to as Wait-for-Enter (WFE) commands. These commands enable you to select multiple source objects in a list and process them collectively to save time.

You can issue commands against all objects in a list, or against sequential or nonsequential objects by using the following methods:

To issue a command against individually selected objects

  1. In the Cmd (C) column beside each source object name, type the command (see the following figure).

    Important

    To avoid possible conflicts, include a space after commands that you type in the Cmd (C) column when those commands overlap the value in the adjoining column.
