This page is a work in progress.
If your user account has the Write or Own permission level on an existing collection in DME, and if that existing collection has been configured to contain another collection, you can create an empty collection within that existing collection. The following command registers the metadata specified in <description.json> to the <destination-path> in DME.
dm_register_collection <description.json> <destination-path>
The following table describes each parameter:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
<description.json> | A path to a file in your file system. In this file, specify the metadata that you want to upload, as follows: {
"metadataEntries": [
{
"attribute": "project",
"value": "my-project-name"
},
{
"attribute": "collection_type",
"value": "Folder"
}
]
}
|
<destination-path> | A path within DME, including the name of the collection you intend to create. Specify where you want the system to create the new collection. |
For example, the following command creates a Project_New collection within the PI_Lab1 collection and applies to that new collection the metadata in the my-collection.json file:
dm_register_collection my-collection.json /TEST_Archive/PI_Lab1/Project_New
