Ab Initio AIR Commands
There are several air commands:
air project commands :

 To check out a project :
air project export <eme sandbox path> -basedir <existing or new sandbox> \ -common <Eme path of
common sandbox> <path to where it needs to be checked out> -export-commons
eg:- air project export /projects/Barclays/corp/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer -basedir
/bigdata_corp/projects/corp/sureshk/sandboxes/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer \
-common /projects/Barclays/stdenv /bigdata_corp/projects/corp/sureshk/sandboxes/sand -export-commons
 To check in a project:
air project import <project path> -basedir <sandbox path> -files mp/<graph name>
eg:- air project import /projects/Barclays/corp/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer –basedir
/bigdata_corp/projects/corp/sureshk/sandboxes/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer –files dml/<dmlname.dml>
 air project show /projects/Barclays/corp/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer > --- shows all parameters and
file types
 air project modify <EME Path for the project -/Projects/edf/.. > -extension <something like *.dat
within single quotes><content-type> --- This is to modify the project settings. Ex: If you need to checkin
*.java files into the EME, you may need to add the extension first.
 air project parameter /projects/Barclays/corp/pymt/e_layer/pymt_e_layer -remove MFS
--- it removes the MFS parameter from given project location.
 air project analyze-dependencies /Projects/ws-con-up –all/ -complexity-details –verbose

OR
 air analyze <sandbox location along with object>
 air project get-required-files /Projects/lesson/mp/Unload-B-tables.mp
air tag commands:

 air tag create <tagname> -exact –file <filename of objects_list.txt> ---object level tag
 air tag create –p <tagname> <eme path>
 air save <tagname.save> -exact-tag <tagname> ----to create save file
 air tag ls (OR) air tag list
 air tag ls –e <tagname> (OR) air tag list –e --- to list all objects from specified tag
 air tag diff –show-all <tag1> <tag2> (OR) air tag diff <tag1><tag2> --- to check tag differences
 air tag combine –create <new tagname> <existing tagname_1> <existing tagname_2> --- to combine 2
tags into one new tag.
 air tag create -project-only -add -comment "adding one object" <tag_name> <emepath of object>
 air tag change-version <tagname> object_name (OR) air tag cv tagname object name
 air load <name of .save file created in last step> -relocate <Dev Project Path> <QA Project Path> --To
promote code from one env to another env
ex:- air load xyz.SAVE -relocate /Projects/DEV/ENV /Projects/PROD/ENV
 air -version <version number> project export
<project rpath> -basedir <sandbox path> -files mp/<your graph name.mp> -find-required-files
Eg: air -version 911022 project export /Projects/wfb/isg/source -basedir
/users/apps/userid/abinitio/cia/wfb/isg/source -files mp/src_part_rr_dt_gen.mp -find-required-files
 If you have a branch then first run the versions command to find how many versions you have for that
object.
air -branch <branch name> object versions <object rpath>
Air lock commands:

 air lock set –object/(-project) <EME path of the object>
 air lock release –object/(-project) <EME path of the object>
 air lock show –object/(-project) <EME Path for the project -/Projects/edf/.. > --- shows all the file(s)
that are locked in the given project
 air lock show -user <UNIX User ID> -- shows all the files locked by a user in various projects.
 air lock set -unbreakable -manual-release \
-object /Projects/lesson/mp/JoinCustomers.mp \
-object /Projects/lesson/mp/LoadJoinedCustomers.mp \
-project /Projects/warehouse
 air lock break –object/(-project) <EME path of the object>
air object commands:

 air object ls<EME Path for the object > (OR) air ls ---To list the objects in eme
 air object rm<EME Path for the object > (OR) air rm --To remove object from eme path
 air object cat <EME Path for the object > (OR) air cat – To see the content from eme object
 air object versions -verbose <EME Path for the object > (OR) air versions –verbose ---to see the
existing versions of given objects in EME.
 air object changed <object> -version1 <version1> –version2 <version2> -diff
 air object revert –revert-linked-objects <latest_version> <path>
air sandbox commands:
 air sandbox status <file name with the entire sandbox path> ---shows the status of file in the sandbox
with respect to the EME (Current, Stale, Modified are few statuses)
 air sandbox run <full path of sandbox> -- to run a object from backend
 nohup jobname.ksh >output 2>errors &
EME vs Sandbox
EME is the central repository and
Sandbox is the private area where you bring the object (by doing object level checkout) from the repository
for editing.
Once you are finish with your editing you can checkin back the object to the EME (object level check in)from
sandbox.
Sandbox is working copy of your project, and you can do checkin & checkout through sandbox.
EME is the version controlling unit of Ab initio where the version controlling can be done, it can be called as
central repository. Whereas private sandbox is the user specific space which is a similar replica of the EME
where a developer works, through sandbox user can safely do the checkout and check in with no conflicts
with other developers.
