Uploading Custom Reporting Search through Command Line
Pre-requisites:
To upload a custom reporting search through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
After you create the XQuery search module and search XML file, you must upload them to the CentraSite repository.
CentraSite provides a command tool named add Search for this purpose.
Important:CentraSite relies on file extensions to determine a file's type. When you upload a saved search XML file or an XQuery module from your local machine using the command line, be sure you specify the name of the file along with its extension (.xml or .xquery) so that CentraSite can determine the file's type and mark it correctly in the repository.
*To upload a custom reporting search
*Run the command add Search.
The syntax is of the format: C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteCommand.cmd add search [-url <CENTRASITE-URL>] -user <USER-ID> -password <PASSWORD> [-module <XQUERY-MODULE>] [-overwrite <CONFIRM-OVERWRITE>] [-scope <SCOPE>] -savedSearchFile <SAVED-SEARCH-FILE>
