Command Reference Guide

-help
Displays the usage synopsis of the dbtool.pl command.
-configRoot= backup_location CountLimit= max_number_of_backups
SizeLimit= max_occupied_space [MB|KB|GB] Timeout=time_un-
til_session_completes[sec|min|hour]
Root is the destination folder, in which the backups are stored. The default
location is AppRM_home\tmp. The backups are named
apprm_idb_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.zip, where YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS represents
the time at which the backup session was started.
CountLimit sets the maximum number of backups that are stored. When this
number is exceeded, the oldest backups are deleted. The last session is always
kept, regardless of the limit set.
SizeLimit limits the amount of space that can be occupied by backups. When
the limit is reached, the oldest backups are deleted. The last session is always
kept, regardless of the limit set.
Timeout defines how long dbtool waits until all running Application Recovery
Manager sessions complete. If the sessions do not end within the specified time
period, the dbtool session is aborted.
-backup
Starts the backup session, using the parameters specified during the configuration.
-restore [FromFile]
Restores the latest backup, unless the name of the backup file FromFile is
specified. The old configuration will be renamed to config#, where # is an
incremental number; that is, if there is already a folder called config1, the
current configuration will be renamed to config2 and so on. This enables you
to keep the old configurations and backup specifications.
-getconfig
Displays the current configuration.
-list
Lists all backup sessions.
EXAMPLES
1. To configure the backup location “e:\AppRM_IDB”, set the maximum number
of backups to 31, allowed size of the backups to 200MB, and the timeout to 2
minutes, run:
perl dbtool.pl -config Root=e:\AppRM_IDB CountLimit=31
SizeLimit=200MB Timeout=2min
