Using the Command Line Interface

10-5
If it is the first time a particular parameter is configured, you can press [Enter]
to select the default value. Otherwise, pressing [Enter] indicates no change to
the existing value.
Some interactive commands prompt you for the type of parameter to be
entered. For example:
enter Day-of-the-week (all, (a)ll/(d)ay-range): d
enter dd1-dd2 (Unspecified): mon-sat
Express Mode Compared to Advanced Mode
The CLI commands operate in one of two modes: Express Mode or Advanced
Mode. In Express Mode, not all parameters are displayed. Default values are set
for parameters not displayed in multi-line commands. In Advanced Mode, you
have the option to modify all possible values appropriate to each command.
You can switch between Express Mode and Advanced Mode by typing [Ctrl] + E.
and the system prompt changes. The characters “>>” is appended to the command
prompt (
BayStack>>>
) to indicate that you are working in Advanced Mode.
