Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.autodestLoadMapfile()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin autodest load mapfile'.
This command is deprecated (no longer actively maintained).
Use at your own risk.

Command Description:

Load a new mapfile.
                 
When you load the new mapfile, any new entries will be verified and synched
before the records are uploaded. If, for some reason, the autodest script 
cannot make reality match the new mapfile, it will not be uploaded to the 
database.

Items to Note::
1. CHANGE: you must be a valid sam shifter to run this account.
2. You must run this command from a node which has mounted /pnfs space.
3. The --nocommit option may be used for testing; this will turn off the 
   'commit' flag when you upload to the database. In essence, you will have 
   performed a synch, and made sure that the information could be uploaded, 
   without actually doing the database upload. 


Python Usage:
	from SamAdmin import samAdmin
	result = samAdmin.autodestLoadMapfile(...)
