The TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 CLI is a text-based interface for configuring and monitoring the system. It allows the network administrator to perform all system administration, configuration, provisioning, and network troubleshooting functions.
To leave any level or sub-level, type exit. This takes you back up one level.
In addition to entering commands singly in response to prompts, the CLI provides a basic scripting facility to automate common tasks and command sequences.
The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command or option. If you enter part of a command, then press
Tab, the CLI lists the options you can enter at that point in the command string. As long as you enter enough characters of the command or option name to avoid ambiguity with other commands or options, the CLI understands what you are typing and completes it.
Command comments can be entered directly in the CLI by identifying them with an exclamation mark (
!) at the start of a line. This tells the P-7500 system that the information is a comment and is to be ignored.
Comments are useful for describing or providing information about command sequences that will be used more than once. For example, you can reuse a sequence of commands, or you can create a script of several commands to make it simpler and faster to do common tasks. For more information on the CLI scripting facility, see
“Writing and Running CLI Scripts” on page 33.
All entered CLI commands are stored on the system in a history buffer. You can retrieve these entered commands by navigating the history buffer using the keyboard arrow keys. You can then copy these retrieved commands and either reuse them as is, or edit them for reuse.
