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.

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.

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

Examples

# Update all services from CSV file
update_service using file "system/lookup.csv" service_key description service_name label unit
