The
Database Manager has a command-line oriented client, the Database Manager CLI (DBMCLI). The Database Manager CLI is operating-system-independent.You can use the Database Manager CLI to carry out all Database Manager actions. You can also use the Database Manager CLI to schedule these actions in the background. You should use this option to automate Database Manager actions that have to be carried out regularly.
If you do not have a Windows operating system, you can only use Database Manager clients Database Manager CLI and
Web DBM to manage database instances.Call
dbmcli [<options>] [<command>]
You can transfer
options and a maximum of one DBM Server command in a command line to the Database Manager CLI.For a link to be established with a database instance on the local computer, you must enter at least the name of the database instance (option
-d <database_name>) when calling the Database Manager CLI. If the required database instance is on a remote computer, you must also enter this computer name (option -n <server_node>).You can open an interactive Database Manager CLI session if you do not enter any DBM Server commands other than the required options. You can then enter the required DBM server commands interactively.
You can write the required DBM Server commands to a separate file
<file_name>. In this case, when you call the Database Manager CLI, you can enter option -i <file_name> in addition to the required options.See also:
