Purpose
Use at a workstation to view or change your eDirectoryTM context, or to view containers and leaf objects in your eDirectory tree structure.
Syntax
CX [new context] [/option...] [/? | /VER]
(no parameter) |
View the current context. |
new context |
Move to a new context or specify the context you want for an option. |
/option |
Replace option with any available option. See CX Options. |

View online help. All other parameters are ignored when /? is used. |
/VER |
View the version number of the utility and the list of files it uses to execute. All other parameters are ignored when /VER is used. |
Using CX
- CX is similar to the DOS CD and DIR commands in that CX allows you to change contexts and view all objects below a given container.
- CX doesn't recognize spaces in object names. If you have spaces in container names, put quotation marks around the names or use underscores (_) in place of the spaces.
For example, for container CORPORATE ADMIN, type Corporate Admin or Corporate_Admin.
CX Options
/R |
List containers at the root level, or change context in relation to the root. |
/T |
List containers below the current context or a specified context in a tree structure. |
/CONT |
List containers at the current context or a specified context in a vertical list with no structure. |
/A |
Include all objects at or below the context. Use with /T or /CONT. |
/C |
Scroll continuously through output. |
