ADD ENVIRONMENT

Core command ADD ENV ADDENV

Creates an Environment, such as DEV or PROD, through an interactive wizard.

Syntax

ADD ENVIRONMENT <id>

Arguments

Argument	Required	Values	Default
`<id>`	Yes	A new Environment ID, unique ignoring case	None

Examples

ADD ENVIRONMENT PROD;

Details

It is the command line equivalent of New in the "Environments" tab of the CONFIG window. An Environment is a stage such as DEV, QA or PROD; every connection belongs to one.

The ID

The ID must not exist yet, and the comparison ignores case: PR and pr cannot both exist. An ID used by an inactive Environment is refused with a message pointing at EDIT ENVIRONMENT, which reactivates it.

The wizard

The command asks for a Description (optional), Production [y/n] (y or yes marks it as a production Environment, any other answer does not) and a Comment (optional), then Save Environment [y/n/c]?: y saves, n starts again, and any other answer stops without saving.

EDIT ENVIRONMENT
SHOW ALL ENVIRONMENTS
ADD GROUP
Connections, Database Groups and Environments
