si demoteproject
demotes the state of a project
Synopsis
si demoteproject [(-s state|--state=state)] [(-P project|--project=project)] [(-S sandbox|--sandbox=sandbox)] [--[no]failOnAmbiguousProject] [--devpath=path] [--projectRevision=rev] [--hostname=server] [--port=number] [--password=password] [--user=name] [(-?|--usage)] [(-F file|--selectionFile=file)] [(-N|--no)] [(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)] [--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]]
Description
si demoteproject demotes a project to a lower state of development. For example,
si demoteproject --state=Development --project=c:/Aurora_Program/bin/Libra/project.pj
A state is a textual description, defined by the administrator, used to classify the condition of a revision in a history. If no state is assigned to a revision at checkpoint, a default value of Exp (for Experimental) is used. See the Windchill RV&S Help Center for details on setting up states.
Just as you can with a project member, you can demote the project itself (change its state, in other words). Only the project is demoted, not the members of the project.
* 
Demoting projects is for historical purposes only. To more effectively control project workflow, PTC recommends using Windchill RV&S
