Deduplicatefile and Duplicatefile Businessobject Commands

In an FCS installation, files checked into business objects could be duplicated. That is, a copy of the same file could be checked into multiple business objects. The deduplicatefile businessobject command lets business objects share a file. The duplicatefile businessobject command copies a file to each business object that shares it.

Deduplicatefile means that all files checked into the target business object will be shared (duplicate copies removed) by other business objects that use the identical files.

Duplicatefile means that files shared by the target business object will be copied to other business objects that currently share those files.

deduplicatefile businessobject BO_NAME [format FORMAT_NAME] [file FILENAME];

or

duplicatefile businessobject BO_NAME [format FORMAT_NAME] [file FILENAME];
  • BO_NAME is the type, name, and revision that identifies the business object
  • FORMAT_NAME is the name of a format used by the business object
  • FILENAME is the name of the file to duplicate or deduplicate

If you specify a format, you limit the duplication or deduplication to files checked into the specified format. If you specify a file, only that file is duplicated or deduplicated.
