Purge/Archive Command Syntax Examples

• Example 1:
  diet -archive -directive gen_case.arc -checksum 123456AA
  
  A new checksum will be generated for the gen_case.arc file. The archive will not run.
  
• Example 2:
  diet –archive –directive case.arc –export casedata.dat
  
  The case.arc directives file defines which cases and related objects will be archived and exported into the casedata.dat file. The affected files will remain in the database.
  
• Example 3:
  diet -purge -directive case.arc –export casedata.dat
  
  The case.arc directives file defines which cases and related objects will be purged (deleted) and exported into the casedata.dat file.
  
• Example 4:
  diet -purge -directive case.arc –export casedata.dat –where 'objid > 0' –auto_unique
  
  Every case and related object defined by the case.arc directives file that has a positive objid will be purged (deleted) and exported into the casedata.dat file. Each object placed in the casedata.dat file will have a unique key.
  
• Example 5:
  diet -purge -directive case.arc –export casedata.dat –where "title like '%failure%'"
  
  Every case and related object defined by the case.arc directives file with title containing the word 'failure' will be purged (deleted) and exported into the casedata.dat file.
  
• Example 6:
  diet –purge -directive case.arc -no_write
  
  The case.arc directives file defines which cases and related objects will be purged from the database. No archive file will be generated, because the –no_write parameter is used.
