ARGUMENTS

–u
Specifies the user ID.

If this argument is used without a value, the operating system user name is used.

If used without a value, the system assumes a null value.

If this argument is not used, the system assumes the user-id value to be the password.

–g
Specifies the group. Must be a dba group.

See restriction #1.

–spec
Indicates that specifications and BOMView revisions of an item revision in the release folder are released along with the item revision.

–unrelease
Removes the specified status type. See restriction #2.

–retain_release_date
Specifies that if the object to be released is already released, the original release date is retained.

–status
Specifies the status type to be applied to all objects.

See restriction #2.

–folder
Specifies the name of the release folder. See restriction #3.

–acl
Specifies the object protections to apply. Accessors are separated by commas. To apply the same object protections to more than one accessor, simply supply the appropriate colons. If the –acl argument is not supplied, the default protection is read-only for the executing user. See restriction #4.
