Extracting assets into a local workspace directory

Use the extract command of the IICS Asset Management CLI V2 utility to extract the exported IICS assets ZIP file into a local workspace directory.

Syntax: iics extract [options]

Run this command to extract an IICS ZIP file into a local workspace directory. The command extracts the ZIP file contents into individual assets. On extraction, the utility creates one metadata file in the local workspace directory for each project, folder, or artifact. The metadata file resides alongside the project, folder, or artifact file and will have a period character (.) before the file name. For example, if you extract the file /Explore/MyProject/a.PROCESS.xml, a corresponding metadata file /Explore/MyProject/.a.PROCESS.xml is created. Note the period character before the file name.

The metadata files might be hidden by default in some file systems because the file names start with a period character. The metadata files must be preserved along with the project, folder, or artifact file. For example, if you add the workspace contents to a version control system, you must also add the metadata files to the version control system. Similarly, when you check out the contents from a version control system, you must also check out the metadata files from the version control system.
