LRM Commands Reference

Introduction

To invoke a command, you must type java -jar <path-to-jarfile>command.jar -parameters For instance, on Linux, if the Lingoport Resource Manager Command Line Interface jar file is located under ~/lingoport/lrm-server-2.0 (the default location) and you want to list the Resource Manager projects, you would type:

 java -jar ~/lingoport/lrm-server-2.0/lrm-cli.jar --list-projects

Each command also has an abbreviation. The long version of each command starts with two dashes, --. The short version of each command starts with one dash, -.

For example, the previous example could have been written:

 java -jar ~/lingoport/lrm-server-2.0/lrm-cli.jar -lp

To Note

The help provides a list of all available commands. The debug and the verbose flags can be applied to all commands.

 -d,--debug                     Log4j Debug mode

 -v,--verbose                   Verbose (console logging)

 -h,--help                      Displays Help.

Commands to Know

There are a few commands which are useful for getting started and debugging issues.

To make things easier, set up an alias for the command. The examples below will be using the lrm alias

On Unix:

  alias lrm='java -jar ~/lingoport/lrm-server-2.0/lrm-cli.jar'

  lrm --version

In Windows:

  set "LRM=java -jar C:\Lingoport\LRM-Server-2.0\lrm-cli.jar"

  %LRM% --version

To get help, use the --help (or -h) option:

 java -jar ~/lingoport/lrm-server-2.0/lrm-cli.jar --help

Create a project

  lrm --create-project -f <path to proj.xml file> 

For example:

  lrm -cp -f projects/MyProject.xml 

The -f is the location of the project description file. The project description file must contain a <group-name> stanza and a <project-name> stanza otherwise the creation will fail. The <top-level-dir> is the path to the source code for this LRM Project.

       <project-name>MyProject</project-name>
       <group-name>Blue</group-name>
       <project-desc>This project contains resource files of all types for baseline testing</project-desc>
       <top-level-dir>Lingoport\test\MyProject\resources\</top-level-dir>
       <target-locales
               <locale>de_DE</locale>
               <locale>fr_FR</locale>
               <locale>zh_CN</locale>
       </target-locales>

To see if there are multiple groups:

  lrm --list-groups 

To create a project when there are multiple groups use the -gn option. The group name must match that in the MyProject.xml file.

  lrm -cp -f projects/MyProject.xml -gn <group-name> 

To verify that the project was created in a group. If there is only one group the -gn is optional:

  lrm -lp -gn <group-name>

Create a group

When creating a group, you must have the license associated with the group. Sometimes, the group is referred to as the company. These terms in Lingoport Resource Manager are interchangeable. If you do not have a license, contact support@lingoport.com. With the license you will have the following information:

• The group name (-gn)
• The number of licenses (-nl) - this determines how many projects you can create under this group.
• The expiration date (-dt)
• The license key (-lkey) - a 10-digit code provided by Lingoport

  lrm --create-group --group-name <group-name> --number-of-licenses <number of licenses> --date <expiration-date> -license-key <license key>

For example:

  lrm --create-group -gn Blue -nl 10 -dt 2016-12-31 -lkey 1234567890

To verify that the group was created successfully, use the --list-groups option. This will show the options used to create the group.

 lrm -lg

 Name     Max Project     Exp Date       Days Left
 Blue     10              2016-12-31     452
 Process completed successfully.

Update a license

If the expiration date for a license passes or there are more projects than the licensed number, a new license can be generated. Contact support@lingoport.com to get a new license. Just like when creating a new group, the following information is needed. The license key will be different than the one previously issued by Lingoport.

• The group name (-gn)
• The number of licenses (-nl) - this determines how many projects you can create under this group.
• The expiration date (-dt)
• The license key (-lkey) - a 10-digit code provided by Lingoport

  lrm --update-license --group-name <group-name> --number-of-licenses <number of licenses> -date <expiration date> --license-key <license key> 

For example:

  lrm -ul -gn Blue -nl 100 -dt 2016-12-31 -lkey 9987654321

To verify the change, use the --list-groups command

 lrm -lg

 Name     Max Project     Exp Date       Days Left
 Blue     100             2016-12-31     452
 Process completed successfully.

Update a project

After creating a project, there may be times when you want to change some of the LRM options and resources. To update the options:

1. Export the project to create the ProjectDefinition.xml file
2. Modify the ProjectDefinition.xml file
3. Inspect the project to verify the changes.
4. Update the project to use the new changes.

First, export the project. This will create a file ProjectDefinition.xml in the reports area. The default location for the reports directory is ~/Lingoport_Data/LRM/<group-name>/reports/<project>. The -f option can be used to create the ProjectDefinition.xml file in a different location. The --group-name is optional if there is only one group defined.

  lrm --export-project --project-name <project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -ep -pn MyProject -gn Blue
or
  lrm -ep -pn MyProject -f /var/tmp -gn Blue
 

Next, modify the ProjectDefinition.xml file. The file can be modified to detect or skip various errors, which target locales to create and define the resources and their extensions. The file can also be modified to exclude various files in the search.

To verify the changes, run a Project Inspection report. This creates ProjectInspect_xx_YY.xml (where xx_YY are locale identifiers) files in the default location at ~/Lingoport_Data/LRM/<group-name>/reports/<project>. The -f option can be used to create the ProjectInspect_xx_YY.xml files in a different location. The --group-name is optional if there is only one group defined.

  lrm --report --project-inspect --project-name <project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -pi -pn MyProject -gn Blue
or
  lrm  -r -pi -pn MyProject -f /var/tmp -gn Blue
 

Finally, update the project using the --update-project option.

  lrm --update-project -f <location of ProjectDefinition.xml>

For example:

  lrm -up -f Lingoport_Data/LRM/<group-name>/reports/<project>/ProjectDefinition.xml
or
  lrm -ep -pn MyProject -f /var/tmp/ProjectDefinition.xml

Delete project

A project can be deleted if no prep kits have been created. The -gn flag is optional if there is only one group defined.

  lrm --delete-project --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -dp -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Create reports

A number of LRM commands will create reports which can assist with creating prep kits and determining problems. Reports are run using the -r option followed by the report to be created in the default location at ~/Lingoport_Data/LRM/<group-name>/reports/<project>. The -f option can be used to create the report files in different locations. The --group-name is optional if there is only one group defined. Many of the reports created are the same reports used to populate the Lingoport Dashboard.

  lrm --report <report option> --project-name <Project> -group-name <group-name>

Files to Prep

Creates the FilesToPrep.xml file.

  lrm --report --files-to-prep --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -fp -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Import Issues

Creates the TranslationIssues.xml file for the active import issues.

  lrm --report --import-issues --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -ii -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Kit Status

Creates the PrepKitStatus.xml file.

  lrm --report --kit-status --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -ks -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Incomplete Kit Status

Creates the IncompletePrepKit.xml file.

  lrm --report --kit-status-incomplete --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -ksi -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Inspect Project

Creates the ProjectInspect_<locale>.xml files.

  lrm --report --project-inspect --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -pi -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Project Status

Creates the TranslationStatus.xml file.

  lrm --report --project-status --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -ps -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Source Issues

Creates the ResourceIssues.xml file.

  lrm --report --source-issues --project-name <Project> --group-name <group-name>

For example:

  lrm -r -si -pn MyProject -gn Blue

Working with Prep Kits

Project Inspection

The first step you'll want to take with your new Lingoport Resource Manager Project is to make sure that LRM is finding all the resource files in your source code tree. We use the --project-inspect command to do this; LRM will search for all resources files described by your project's definitions, and create reports for each target locale, named ProjectInspect<locale>.xml, in your LRM Project's reports folder. The base locale

Base locale: The starting locale which will be translated into the target locales.

Target locale: The resulting translations from the base locale. For example if the base locale is en_US (United States English) and a target locale is fr_FR (France french), the resource files will start in English and be translated into French.

Enter:

  lrm --report --project-inspect -pn <project name>

For the base locale, the resulting ProjectInspect<baseLocale>.xml report contains:

• The associated LRM project name and source path
• The locale and whether it is the base locale
• The total number of resource files found
• A listing of each resource file

For each target locale, the resulting ProjectInspect<locale>.xml report contains:

• The associated LRM project name and source path
• The locale and whether it is the base locale
• The total number of resource files based on the number of base resource files
• A listing of each resource file. These files may not currently exist, but will be created once an LRM import is successful

Be sure to check the base locale reports for any errors, including omissions and incorrect duplicate resource files. If you find problems, make sure you have the latest version of your LRM Project's Definition.xml file (use project-export command) and then modify it, possibly adding exclude and include folders to tailor LRM's search for resource files. Once your project-inspect reports are clean, you can run the project-update command to store the latest project definitions. The target locale reports will be a reflection of the base locale report, showing you the resource files that will be created for translation.

Exporting and Updating an LRM project

If you want to update an LRM Project's configuration, you should first run the --export-project command to export the latest configuration settings, make any changes, and then run the --update-project command.

For example:

  lrm --export-project --project-name <project name>

LRM will create a file named ProjectDefinition.xml in your LRM Project's reports folder (<home>/Lingoport_Data/LRM/<group-name>/reports/MyProject), unless you include the -f option to locate it elsewhere, with all the latest settings associated with your LRM Project. Once you modify this exported xml file, you can run the LRM --update-project command to update the LRM Project's stored configuration:

  lrm --update-project -f <path to the ProjectDefinition.xml file>

Fixing the Project Definition

If, after running the Project Inspect report, you notice that more files need to included or excluded then fix the project definition by running --update-project and then run the Project Inspect report to verify that the expected files are displayed in the report. Run the following commands until the correct files are included and excluded:

%LRM_CMD% --update-project -f <path to the ProjectDefinition.xml file> %LRM_CMD% -r --project-inspect -pn <Project Name>
