Example

<workbench> -extract:pli -environment pliBroker:2006@RPC/PLISRV1/EXTRACTOR -project /Demo -source PLI.DATA.SET -filter PLISRC1

where <workbench> is a placeholder for the actual EntireX design-time starter as described under Using EntireX in the Designer Command-line Mode.

The extracted Software AG IDL file will be stored in the project Demo.

If the environment name is not a defined RPC environment in the current workspace, the name will be interpreted as a Broker ID and RPC server address (brokerID@serverAddress).

The source specifies a data set name, and the optional filter defines the member name. Simple wildcard notation with an asterisk (*) can be used at the end of these names.

Status and processing messages are written to standard output (stdout), which is normally set to the executing shell window.
