Command: "new-section". Arguments: "Section name", "Starting depth" in meters" and "Length in meters".

Purpose: The main purpose of the command is to notify to the server that a new core sections exists. Effectively creating empty slots of split-core image and whole-core image entries. This is also used so that when a new data comes in, there are correlations to depth intervals and section names.

Command: "new-missing-section". Arguments: "Section name prefix", "Starting depth in meters" and "Length in meters".

Purpose: The main purpose of the command is to notify to the server that a new missing core sections exists. Effectively creating empty slots of split-core image and whole-core image entries. Using command like “new-missing-section and001 0.0 1.5” will create a new section with section name “and001_0.0-1.5-missing”.

Command: "new-split-core". Arguments: "The URL to the image file", "The name of the section the image comes from", "The DPI (dots-per-inch) of the image in X (horizontal) direction" and (Optional) "The DPI of the image in Y (vertical) direction"

Purpose: The purpose of this command is to let the server know the web address of the split-core image that was created from the core section. This will let the server then notify the clients that the image exists and is available for download and viewing in Corelyzer.

Command: "new-missing-split-core". Arguments: "The section name of missing split core"

Purpose: The purpose of this command is to assign a empty split core image to a core section due to there might be no split core image available but users still need to access the data and whole core images. The missing section name convention will be like <prefix>_<start_depth>-<end_depth>, eg: “and001_186.7-187.5”.

Command: "new-whole-core". Arguments: "The URL to the image file", "The name of the section the image comes from" and "The DPI (dots-per-inch) of the image".

Purpose: The purpose of this command is to let the server know the web address of the whole-core image that was created from the core section. This will let the server then notify the clients that the image exists and is available for download and viewing in Corelyzer.

Command: "new-dataset". Arguments: "Data file to parse" and "The name of the dataset to append/overwrite".

Purpose: This command will parse a tab-delimited data file and feed the server new data tables. The tab delimited data file must follow the formatting exampled in Appendix B. This command will retrieve a listing of sections to use the depth and length of the sections to determine how to partition the data file into tables.

Once the tables are created the tables are sent to the server and stored in a file with the following name convention:

              dataset.<section name>.<dataset name>.tab
            

If the dataset name does not exist in the server, it will be created automatically. If the name exists then the files created on the server will automatically be appended.

NOTE: Existing files will be overwritten automatically! If this is an undesired effect, please make sure that there are no rows that contain depths of sections that would previously had a table made for them for the dataset. If you are only appending to a single tab-delimited file without changing previous rows then the overwrite will effectively be doing nothing for previously created tables.

Command: "list-sections". Arguments: None

Purpose: The purpose of this command is to list the existing sections known to the server. Returned is a listing of section names, their depth and length in meters. The output is displayed to the command-line.

Command: "list-datasets". Arugments: None

Purpose: The purpose of this command is to display datasets known to the server. Displayed are the names of the datasets followed by the attributes in the dataset and their respective minimum and maximum values within the whole dataset.

Command: "list-tables". Arguments: "The name of the dataset"

Purpose: This command will display a listing of tables within a given dataset. This is useful if you do not know if a given section is covered by a dataset because the names of the tables are the names of the sections.

Command: "list-table-data". Arguments: "The name of the dataset" and "The name of the section/table to view"

Purpose: This command will display the data of a table from a given dataset. The data is displayed in a tab-delimited form with the first line as the header followed by lines of numerical values. Table cells that are invalid will appear blank.

Command: "run-backup". Arguments: None

Purpose: The server runs backups automatically if the last backup has occurred more than 24 hours ago. This command forces the current day’s backup to occur.

Command: "logout". Arguments: None

Purpose: This command allows the administrator to logout and ends the client program.

Command: "server-shutdown". Arguments: None

Purpose: This command allows the server to properly shutdown.
