  • -Dn - re-direction to other data source.
  • -Cn - re-direction to other collection in the hierarchy or in the data source referenced by -Dn.
  • -In - limit number of iterations to n.

  fa command -Dn -Cn -In

Examples:

  fa lav         // List attribute values for instances in a collection

  fa call proc1  // run procedure proc1 for instances in the collection

  fa lav -D2 -C1 //show attributes for instances in collection 1 of data

                 // source 2

  fa do          // run the list of subsequent commands for all instances in

  ...            // current collection beginning at selected instance
