Retrieve an issue

Retrieve an issue

At some point it might be a good idea to keep a local copy of the errata information hosted within the errata system. The retrieve command has been designed in the aim of either downloading a specific issue files, a set of specific issues, or the whole lot of issues hosted within the errata system (for archiving purposes for example).

Requirements

The command takes as arguments a list of UIDs, the JSON file directory and the dataset list file directory the user wishes to use. If ESDOC_HOME environment variable is declared in user’s environment a specific download directory will then be used otherwise, the client uses its own installation directory.

Note

If no UIDs are submitted, all issues are expected.

Note

If no directory is provided, a default directory will be used.

Retrieve the issue

In order to download the issue with IDs xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:

$> esgissue retrieve --issue esgissue/samples/downloads --dsets esgissue/samples/downloads --id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Note

The naming convention used in creating the issue related files is issue_<UID>.json and dset_<UID>.txt. If needed we could have specified .json and .txt file in this example since we are downloading a single issue.

Note

Multiple downloads are allowed by listing IDs next to the flag.
