sam create definition

Just having some fun...
Command Description:

Create a new dataset definition.  Later, this definition may be used
to take a snapshot of files matchine the definition constraints
(aka "dimensions").


Usage:
       sam create definition <--requiredOptions> [--options] [-flags]
       sam create dataset definition <--requiredOptions> [--options] [-flags]

Where:

  --requiredOptions:
	      --definitionName=<value> # name to be assigned to this definition
	          --dimensions=<value> # string specifying the dimensional quantities of interest
	               --group=<value> # work group to which this definition should be assigned for bookkeeping

  --options:
	    --corbaCallTimeout=<value> # time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
	         --description=<value> # description to be associated with this definition
	            --keywords=<value> # comma-separated list of keywords to be associated with this definition
	       --retryInterval=<value> # retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
	         --retryJitter=<value> # retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
	       --retryMaxCount=<value> # number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)

   -flags:
	                            -c # automatically close all servants after each method call
	                            -d # debug mode
	                            -s # retrySilently mode (do not issue messages to stderr on proxy retries)
	                            -t # time-it mode (print additional info on timings)
	                            -v # verbose mode

Synonymous Options:
	             --defName=<value> # synonym for --definitionName=<value>
	             --defdesc=<value> # synonym for --description=<value>
	                --desc=<value> # synonym for --description=<value>
	                 --dim=<value> # synonym for --dimensions=<value>
	           --dimension=<value> # synonym for --dimensions=<value>
	                --dims=<value> # synonym for --dimensions=<value>

Required Data Types:
	              corbaCallTimeout : int 
	                definitionName : string 
	                   description : string 
	                    dimensions : string 
	                         group : string 
	                      keywords : SamStringList 
	                 retryInterval : int 
	                   retryJitter : int 
	                 retryMaxCount : int 

You may omit "-c" if the $SAM_PYAPI_AUTO_CLOSE_SERVANTS environmental variable is set.
You may omit "--corbaCallTimeout=<value>" if the $SAM_PYAPI_CORBA_CALL_TIMEOUT environmental variable is set.
You may omit "--retryInterval=<value>" if the $SAM_PYAPI_RETRY_INTERVAL environmental variable is set.
You may omit "--retryJitter=<value>" if the $SAM_PYAPI_RETRY_JITTER environmental variable is set.
You may omit "--retryMaxCount=<value>" if the $SAM_PYAPI_RETRY_MAX_COUNT environmental variable is set.
You may omit "-s" if the $SAM_PYAPI_RETRY_SILENTLY environmental variable is set.

UNIX ExitStatus:
	             Success :   0
