CHECKIN Command Documentation

DESCRIPTION:

Performs a check-in operation on a specified file or many files.

SYNTAX:

checkin -search -filePath -comment -Checkinoptions

PARAMETERS:

• search: The search operation to use.

• filePath: The file(s) to be checked in. This is the default parameter.

• comment: The comment to add to the check-in.

• Checkinoptions: The check-in options to use.

EXAMPLES:

checkin -filePath "file1.sldprt"

REMARKS:

• The search parameter searches the current directory and does not drill down. The search query is a PDM one, so you can use % for wildcard.
• If combining Checkinoptions parameters, the user needs to add + between the values.
