Alexey Loubyansky [http://community.jboss.org/people/aloubyansky] created the document: "CLI Batch Mode" To view the document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728 -------------------------------------------------------------- h2. Prototype of the batch mode The batch mode allows to group commands and operations and execute them altogether as an atomic unit, i.e. if at least one of the commands or operations failed, all the other successfully executed commands and operations in the batch are rolled back. Not all of the commands are allowed in the batch. E.g. commands like 'cd', 'ls', 'help', etc are not allowed in the batch since they don't translate into operation requests. Only the commands that translate into operation requests are allowed in the batch. The batch, actually, is executed as 'composite' operation request. The batch mode is entered by executing command +batch+. http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/quote http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/quote http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/localhost:9999 / http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/localhost:9999 / batch localhost:9999 / # /quote /quote The '#' sign in the prompt indicates that the CLI is in the batch mode. Operations and commands like deploy, create-jms-topic, etc won't be executed immediately, instead they will be added to the current batch. http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/quote http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16728/quote localhost:9999 / # deploy ../../../../testsuite/smoke/target/deployments/test-deployment.sar localhost:9999 / # create-jms-topic name=mytop localhost:9999 / # :add-system-property(name=myprop,value=myval) localhost:9999 / # /quote /quote But commands that don't translate into operation requests will be executed immediately.
