Mobius Remote Command Line Interface

How MobiusRemoteCLI works

MobiusRemoteCLI does not communicate directly to the Mobius Server. It rather communicates with Mobius View through the public Rest APIs. Therefore, in order to use MobiusRemoteCLI, you need to have a running Mobius View. In Mobius View, you have to configure a Mobius server repository, which means that you also need Mobius server running.

MobiusRemoteCLI is a collection of various commands. These commands correspond to each command line interface we currently have like acreate, adelete, and so on.

The command line switches and arguments in the MobiusRemoteCLI version of the command are identical to those of the stand-alone applications.

How to use MobiusRemoteCLI

To use MobiusRemoteCLI, you must first make sure that you have the following:

1. A running instance of Mobius server.
2. A running instance of Mobius View that is connected to the Mobius server instance created in step 1.

To use MobiusRemoteCLI, you have to first download the MobiusRemoteCLI.zip file. After downloading the zip file, extract it to the required location. After extraction is complete, you should see the following three files:

MobiusRemoteCLI.sh (Linux shell script)
MobiusRemoteCLI.bat (Windows Batch file)
MobiusRemoteCLI.jar
The .sh and .bat files were introduced to allow the user to run the jar files without requiring them to set up java home and know the exact class to run. They act as a wrapper over the jar file.

The shell script, batch file, and jar file should be unpacked into a single directory. If the directory where the files are installed is on the execution path, then it is not necessary for you to be in that directory to run the scripts.

Once you have the packages extracted, you are ready to start running the commands. For more information on these commands, see the following topics:
