Skill-Uninstall Arguments
Argument Description
-n | - -name Name of the skill to uninstall from the Model Manager.
- -repository (Optional) The root URI of the Model Manager, for example, hp://hostname/repository.
Default is specied in the CloudUtil cong le in the repositoryAddress key under the
<appSeings> section.
-v | - -verbose (Optional) If an error occurs, outputs a stack trace instead of just the exception message.
N A skill cannot be uninstalled if it is associated with either a Distributed Execution Manager or a
workow. See “DEM-Remove-Skills,” on page 64 or “Workow-Remove-Skills,” on page 71.
Workflow Commands
The Workow commands enable you to manage customizable IaaS workows in the Model Manager, as
well as the skills associated with any workows.
Workflow-Add-Skills
Associate skills with a workow in the Model Manager.
CloudUtil.exe Workflow-Add-Skills -n|--name <Name> -s|--skills <Skills> [--repository <Model
Manager Root URI>] [-v|--verbose]
Table 1‑22. Workflow-Add-Skills Arguments
Argument Description
Name Name of a workow in the Model Manager.
Skills Comma-delimited list of skills to associate with this workow.
- -repository (Optional) The root URI of the Model Manager, for example, hp://hostname/repository.
Default is specied in the CloudUtil cong le in the repositoryAddress key under the
<appSeings> section.
-v | - -verbose (Optional) If an error occurs, outputs a stack trace instead of just the exception message.
N The skills must already exist in the Model Manager. See “Skill-Install,” on page 69.
