The user and password to use for commands
\fB-h\fP
Print help text.
.TP
\fB-d\fP
Print full designators (e.g. issue1) not just id numbers (1).
.TP
\fB-c\fP
When outputting lists of data, comma-separate them. Same as
\fB-S ","\fP.
.TP
\fB-S\fP \fIstring\fP
When outputting lists of data, separate items with given string.

When outputting lists of data, space-separate them. Same as
\fB-S " "\fP.
.TP
\fB-V\fP
Be verbose when importing data.
.TP
\fB-v\fP
Report Roundup and Python versions and quit.
.PP
Only one of \fB-s\fP, \fB-c\fP or \fB-S\fP can be specified.
.SH COMMANDS
If no command is provided on the command line, roundup-admin will
enter an interactive mode. More details about these commands are
available using the help command.

A designator is a classname and a nodeid concatenated,
eg. bug1, user10, .... 

Roundup-admin takes a number of commands:
.TP
\fBhelp\fP
prints help (same as \fB-h\fP)
.TP
\fBhelp\fP \fI<subcommand>\fP
Print command-specific help
.TP
\fBhelp all\fP
Print available help for all commands.
.TP
\fBcommit\fP
Commit changes made to the database during an interactive session.

The changes made during an interactive session are not
automatically written to the database - they must be committed
using this command.

One-off commands on the command-line are automatically committed if
they are successful. See also rollback.
.TP
\fBcreate\fP \fIclassname property=value ...\fP
This creates a new entry of the given class using the property
name=value arguments provided on the command line after the "create"
command.
.TP
\fBdisplay\fP \fIdesignator[,designator]*\fP
This lists the properties and their associated values for the given
node.
.TP
\fBexport\fP \fI[[-]class[,class]] export_dir\fP
Export the database to colon-separated-value files.
To exclude the files (e.g. for the msg or file class),
use the exporttables command.

Optionally limit the export to just the named classes
or exclude the named classes, if the 1st argument starts with '-'.

This action exports the current data from the database into
colon-separated-value files that are placed in the nominated
destination directory.
.TP
\fBexporttables\fP \fI[[-]class[,class]] export_dir\fP
Export the database to colon-separated-value files, excluding the
files below $TRACKER_HOME/db/files/ (which can be archived separately).
To include the files, use the export command.
.TP
\fBfilter\fP \fIclassname propname=value ...\fP
Find the nodes of the given class with a given property value.
Multiple values can be specified by separating them with commas.
If property is a string, all values must match. I.E. it's an
'and' operation. If the property is a link/multilink any value
matches. I.E. an 'or' operation.
.TP
\fBfind\fP \fIclassname propname=value ...\fP
Find the nodes of the given class with a given link property value.
.TP
\fBgenconfig\fP \fI<filename>\fP
Generate a new tracker config file (ini style) with default values
in \fI<filename>\fP. Note that this does not preserve any settings from
the current tracker. Use updateconfig for that.
.TP
\fBget\fP \fIproperty designator[,designator]*\fP
Get the given property of one or more designator(s).

Retrieves the property value of the nodes specified
by the designators.

.TP
\fBhistory\fP \fIdesignator [skipquiet]\fP
Lists the journal entries viewable by the user for the
node identified by the designator. If skipquiet is the
second argument, journal entries for quiet properties
are not shown.
.TP
\fBimport\fP \fIimport_dir\fP
Import a database from the directory containing CSV files,
two per class to import.

The imported nodes will have the same nodeid as defined in the
import file, thus replacing any existing content.

The new nodes are added to the existing database - if you want to
create a new database using the imported data, then create a new
database (or, tediously, retire all the old data). See also export.
.TP
\fBimporttables\fP \fIimport_dir\fP
Import a database from the directory containing CSV files,
two per class to import.

The imported nodes will have the same nodeid as defined in the
import file, thus replacing any existing content.

This only imports database tables. It does not import files/message
content.  It is used to import data exported by exporttables. See also
exporttables.
.TP
\fBinitialise\fP \fI[adminpw]\fP
Initialise a new Roundup tracker.

The administrator details will be set at this step.
.TP
\fBinstall\fP \fI[template [backend [key=val[,key=val]]]]\fP
Install a new roundup tracker.

The command will prompt for the tracker home directory
(if not supplied through TRACKER_HOME or the -i option).
The template and backend may be specified on the command-line
as arguments, in that order.

Command line arguments following the backend allows you to
pass initial values for config options.  For example, passing
"web_http_auth=no,rdbms_user=dinsdale" will override defaults
for options http_auth in section [web] and user in section [rdbms].
Please be careful to not use spaces in this argument! (Enclose
whole argument in quotes if you need spaces in option value).

The initialise command must be called after this command in order
to initialise the tracker's database. You may edit the tracker's
initial database contents before running that command by editing
the tracker's dbinit.py module init() function.

See also initopts help.

.TP
\fBlist\fP \fIclassname [property]\fP
Lists all instances of the given class. If the property is not
specified, the  "label" property is used. The label property is
tried in order: the key, "name", "title" and then the first
property, alphabetically.

With \fB-c\fP, \fB-S\fP or \fB-s\fP print a list of item id's if no
property specified.  If property specified, print list of that
property for every class instance.
.TP
\fBmigrate\fP
Update a tracker's database to be compatible with the Roundup
codebase.

You should run the "migrate" command for your tracker once you've
installed the latest codebase. 

Do this before you use the web, command-line or mail interface and
before any users access the tracker.

This command will respond with either "Tracker updated" (if you've
not previously run it on an RDBMS backend) or "No migration action
required" (if you have run it, or have used another interface to the
tracker, or possibly because you are using anydbm).

It's safe to run this even if it's not required, so just get into
the habit.
.TP
\fBpack\fP \fIperiod | date\fP
Remove journal entries older than a period of time specified or
before a certain date.
.TP
\fBreindex\fP \fI[classname|designator]*\fP
This will re-generate the search indexes for a tracker.
.TP
\fBrestore\fP \fIdesignator[,designator]*\fP
Restore the retired node specified by designator.

The given nodes will become available for users again.
.TP
\fBretire\fP \fIdesignator[,designator]*\fP
This action indicates that a particular node is not to be retrieved
by the list or find commands, and its key value may be re-used. See
also restore.
.TP
\fBrollback\fP
Undo all changes that are pending commit to the database.

The changes made during an interactive session are not
automatically written to the database - they must be committed
manually. This command undoes all those changes, so a commit
immediately after would make no changes to the database.
.TP
\fBsecurity\fP \fI[Role name]\fP
Display the Permissions available to one or all Roles.
.TP
\fBset\fP \fIitems property=value property=value ...\fP
Set the given properties of one or more items(s).

The items are specified as a class or as a comma-separated
list of item designators (ie "designator[,designator,...]").

This command sets the properties to the values for all designators
given. If the value is missing (ie. "property=") then the property
is un-set. If the property is a multilink, you specify the linked
ids for the multilink as comma-separated numbers (ie "1,2,3").
.TP
\fBspecification\fP \fIclassname\fP
Show the properties for a classname.
.TP
\fBtable\fP \fIclassname [property[,property]*]\fP
Lists all instances of the given class. If the properties are not
specified, all properties are displayed. By default, the column
widths are the width of the largest value.
.TP
\fBupdateconfig\fP \fI<filename>\fP
This is used when updating software. It merges the \fBconfig.ini\fP
from the tracker with new settings from the new software. The
merged/updated config file is written to \fI<filename>\fP.
.PP
Commands may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation
matches only one command, e.g. l == li == lis == list.
