si promoteproject
promotes the state of a project
Synopsis
si promoteproject [--[no|confirm]force] [(-s state|--state=state)] [(-P project|--project=project)] [--[no]failOnAmbiguousProject] [(-S sandbox|--sandbox=sandbox)] [--devpath=path] [--projectRevision=rev] [--hostname=server] [--port=number] [--password=password] [--user=name] [(-?|--usage)] [(-N|--no)] [(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)] [--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]]
Description
si promoteproject promotes a project to a higher state of development. 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 check-in, a default value of Exp (for Experimental) is used. See the Windchill RV&S Hilfe-Center for details on setting up states.
Just as you can with a project member, you can promote the project itself (change its state, in other words). This can assist in management of an entire project through a development cycle, especially if the promotion functions are restricted to key project personnel. Normally, you promote a project (set its state) when you si checkpoint it, but you can do so at any time. Only the project is promoted, not the members of the project.
* 
Promoting projects is for historical purposes only. To more effectively control project workflow, PTC recommends using the Windchill RV&S integration.
