qacli config file

Manage configuration files that can be used in a Helix QAC project.

Usage

config file -C <acf|rcf|vcf> [--] [-h]

Extended Description

Helix QAC contains many configuration files, including the RCF (Rule Configuration File), ACF (Analysis Configuration File) and VCF (Version Control File). This command enables you to create a basic, empty file of the correct type and update as needed.

The file is stored in the UDL (User Data Location) i.e. globally available to the installation and can be subsequently used in Helix QAC projects.

No post modification validation is done after editing. Using an invalid file in a project may render it unusable.

Examples

Creating a Configuration File

To create a new, basic Analysis Configuration File (ACF), use a command such as:

qacli config file --create acf

This will open the default editor on your system with a minimal version of the file (specific to the file type). Modifications can be made and it will be saved to the UDL with name new.<type>, which in this example would be new.acf.

If the command is run multiple times then subsequent files will have an incrementing number attached to the file, new(1).acf, new(2).acf and so on.
