DAC Repository Command Line Options


This section describes the DAC repository command line parameters that are exposed by the AutomationUtils.bat file, which is located in the OracleBI\DAC folder.

Import DAC Metadata by Application

The IMPORT option imports DAC metadata into the DAC repository for specified source system containers. The import process truncates all imported tables. You cannot perform an incremental import with this command.

Syntax:

IMPORT <folderName> <contName1> <contName2> ...

where:

folderName

Full path to the root of the import file structure.

contName

(Optional) Name of the source system container for which you want to import DAC metadata. If no container is named, all containers that are found in the file structure will be imported.

Export DAC Metadata by Application

The EXPORT option exports DAC metadata from the DAC repository for specified source system containers.

Syntax:

EXPORT <folderName> <contName1> <contName2> ...

where:

folderName

Full path to the root of the export file structure.

contName

(Optional) Name of the source system container for which you want to export DAC metadata. If no container is named, all containers that are found in the file structure will be exported.

Import DAC Metadata by Categories

The IMPORTCATEGORY option imports DAC metadata into the DAC repository based on the Logical, Run Time, or System categories. The import process truncates all imported tables. You cannot perform an incremental import with this command.

Syntax:

IMPORTCATEGORY <folderName> <logicalFlag> <runtimeFlag> <systemFlag>

where:

folderName

Full path to the root of the import file structure.

logicalFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as logical is imported (information contained in the DAC Design view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

runtimeFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as run time is imported (information contained in the DAC Execute view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

systemFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as run time is imported (information contained in the DAC Setup view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

Export DAC Metadata by Categories

The EXPORTCATEGORY option exports DAC metadata from the DAC repository based on the Logical, Run Time, or System categories.

Syntax:

EXPORTCATEGORY <folderName> <logicalFlag> <runtimeFlag> <systemflag>

where:

folderName

Full path to the root of the import file structure.

logicalFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as logical is exported (information contained in the DAC Design view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

runtimeFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as run time is exported (information contained in the DAC Execute view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

systemFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, all data categorized as run time is exported (information contained in the DAC Setup view). Otherwise, this parameter is ignored.

Create Schema

The CREATESCHEMA option creates the schema of a new DAC repository.

Syntax:

CREATESCHEMA <unicodeFlag> <workSpace name>

where:

unicodeFlag

If the value of this parameter is true, the schema is created as unicode. If the value is false, it is not created as unicode.

workSpace name

The name of the workspace in which the schema is created.

Syntax:

UPGRADE

Set Password

The SETPASSWORD option sets the passwords for the Informatica servers and physical data sources in the DAC repository.

Syntax:

SETPASSWORD <type> <logicalName> <password>
