Changing an Asset's Type
Pre-requisites:
To change the asset type of an existing asset through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
CentraSite provides a Java tool named AssetManager.jar for this purpose. The tool changes the type of an existing asset or a list of assets (saved search) to a specified user-defined virtual asset type or back to the specified base type.
To change the type of an existing asset
Run the Java tool AssetManager.jar. The syntax is of the format:
C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteToolbox.cmd AssetManager.jar <CentraSite URL> <admin user id> <password> set type <objectId> <type> C:\SoftwareAG\CentraSite\utilities>CentraSiteToolbox.cmd AssetManager.jar <CentraSite URL> <admin user id> <password> set type <saved search> <type> The input parameters are:
