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 PTC RV&S Help 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 PTC RV&S integration.
