Details
The update_service statement can:
update a single service using a specific key
update all services whose keys are present in a DSET or CSV lookup source
Update a single service
update_serviceservice_key[descriptionnew_description][labelnew_label]
The service with a key of service_key is updated with the literal description and label provided.
Update multiple services using a CSV lookup file
update_service using filefile key_col[descriptiondescription_col][labellabel_col]
The file parameter may contain a path component and is considered as relative to the home directory.
All services keys that match values in the key_col column in the CSV called file have their descriptions and/or labels updated with the values in the corresponding description_col and label_col columns in file.
Update multiple services using a DSET
update_service using dsetkey_col[descriptiondescription_col][labellabel_col]
To update services using a DSET, it must have been previously imported in order to be used as the lookup source.
The DSET ID is derived from the key_col column as follows:
If fully qualified then the DSET is derived from key_col directly
If not fully qualified then the default DSET is assumed
In either case, whichever is used, or both, of description_col and label_col must be located in the same DSET as key_col
