Navigation Commands

Navigating the object hierarchy on the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server is quite similar to navigating a file system. Commands offered are similar to the basic navigation commands available in Unix. Each object has a path corresponding to it.

The following are some helpful navigation commands:
  • ls: lists the members contained in an object. 
    admin@localhost:/TEA> ls
members
agents
users
groups
roles
realms
machines
solutions

admin@localhost:/TEA> cd members
admin@localhost:/TEA/members> ls
Machines
Solutions
Groups
Users
Roles
Realms
Permissions
OperatorViewManager
SearchViewManager
Agents
  • ls <path>: lists the members at the specified path. 
    admin@localhost:/TEA>ls <path>
    where <path> is the path of the target object whose contents are to be listed.

    If the path is not specified, it lists the objects under the current object. You can nest the path to subsequent levels. For example, you can list the members contained in the default realm by using the command ls TEA/Access/Realms/default-realm.

  • cd: navigates to the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator object at the specified path. 
    admin@localhost:/>cd <path>
    where <path> is the target path to which the context changes.
    If a directory is not specified, the current directory is not changed. If you are already in one of the nested directories, the cd command takes you back to the root.
    Note: If there are spaces embedded in the path, use an escape sequence of back slash and a space to represent a space. For example, if 'foo bar' is a part of the path, type 'foo\ bar'. This feature works with the autocompletion of the ls, sort, and cd commands.
  • pwd: prints the absolute path of the current TIBCO Enterprise Administrator object. 
    admin@localhost:/TEA>pwd
Note: TIBCO Enterprise Administrator objects are case sensitive.
