Working with objects¶
The omero obj command allows to create and update OMERO objects.
More information can be displayed using omero obj -h
.
A complete Glossary of all OMERO Model Objects is available for reference.
Object creation¶
The omero obj new subcommand allows to create new objects:
$ omero obj new Object field=value
where Object is the type of object to create, e.g. Dataset or ProjectDatasetLink and field/value is a valid key/value pair for the type of object. For example, the following command creates a new screen with a name and a description:
$ omero obj new Screen name=Screen001 description="screen description"
Object update¶
The omero obj update subcommand allows to update existing objects:
$ omero obj update Object:ID field=value
where Object:ID is the type and the ID of object to update, e.g. Image:1 or PlateDatasetLink:10 and field/value is a valid key/value pair to update for the specified object.
For example, the following command updates the existing screen of ID 2 with a name and a description:
$ omero obj update Screen:2 name=Screen001 description="screen description"
Piping output¶
The output of each omero obj command is formatted as Object:ID so that the CLI commands can be redirected and piped together. For example, the following set of commands creates a dataset and a project and links them together:
$ dataset=$(omero obj new Dataset name=dataset-1)
$ project=$(omero obj new Project name=project-1)
$ omero obj new ProjectDatasetLink parent=$project child=$dataset
