Oracle9i Discoverer Administrator Administration Guide Version 9.0.2 Part Number A90881-02 |
|
This chapter explains how to use the Discoverer command line interface and contains the following topics:
The Discoverer command line interface is a set of text based commands that enable you to perform tasks without running the Discoverer graphical user interface (GUI). For example, using the command line interface you can:
In addition, you can create command files that contain multiple commands (much like MS-DOS batch files or Unix script files) to perform groups of administrative tasks automatically.
In the Discoverer command line interface, a command is an instruction that performs a particular task in Discoverer Administrator or Discoverer Desktop. For example:
dis5adm.exe /connect myname/mypassword@database
dis5adm.exe /connect myname/mypassword@database /import c:\data\sales.eex
Note: Commands are not case-sensitive (for more information, see also "Notes on using commands").
A command modifier is an instruction that qualifies or refines a command. For example:
dis5adm.exe /connect myname/mypassword@database /import c:\data\sales.eex
/log sales_import_logfile
dis5adm.exe /connect myname/mypassword@database /delete /item sales.profit
You can run Discoverer commands in the following ways:
Text description of the illustration comfile.gif
To run the above command file, you might type the following in the command line:
Dis5adm.exe /cmdfile import.txt
To use the command line interface, you require the same Discoverer privileges as you do to use the Discoverer graphical user interface.
If you want to perform an operation on an EUL using the command line interface, you must have the correct privileges. If you do not have the correct privileges, the operation will fail.
When using the command line interface, you can explicitly specify an EUL using the modifier /eul (for more information, see "/eul" ) or if you do not specify an EUL, Discoverer will identify the default EUL for the database user.
When using the command line interface, the following rules apply:
Dis5adm.exe
/? in the Windows Run dialog
.
For more information on Identifiers, see Chapter 3, "What are identifiers?".
When specifying an object's Display Name or Identifier that contains a special character (e.g. a space), enclose the entire string in double quotation marks (" "). For example, enter the name of the folder object Sales Figures as /folder "Sales Figures".
/REFRESH_SUMMARY
command line option only works in conjunction with Oracle databases.
[@[ODBC:]<dbname>]
argument.
/connect "/[@[ODBC:]<dbname>]"
This guide uses the following command syntax conventions:
Use this syntax for the command line interface (typed in a single line with no line breaks or carriage returns):
Where:
To delete the Sales folder and Sum1 summary from the eul31 EUL you would use the following command:
To refresh the Sales1 and Sales2 folders you would use the following command:
To create an Applications Mode EUL in the database and grant access to it you would use the following command:
dis5adm.exe /connect eul_owner:appsresp/appspwd /create_eul /apps_mode /apps_grant_details apps/apps
Command files are text files that contain one or more Discoverer commands that can be run automatically from the command line. Command files work in a similar way to MS-DOS batch files and UNIX script files.
The commands in a command file are treated as though they were entered directly on the command line. Carriage returns embedded in the text file are ignored.
A command file may in turn invoke other command files. This provides a convenient work around for the Microsoft Windows imposed limitation of restricting a command line to not more than 255 characters in length.
You can create a command file using a text editor. Type the command into the text editor and save the file using the extension .txt.
To run a command file, start the Discoverer Administrator executable (for example, dis5adm.exe) with the name of the command file as an argument to the /cmdfile command. For example, to run commands stored in the text file Import.txt, type:
You can also run more than one command file by repeating the /cmdfile command. For example, to run commands stored in the text file Login.txt, then commands in Import.txt, type:
Command files are a convenient way to store modular commands, which can then be used in different combinations. For example, the following three command files contain the following commands:
contains the line /connect me/mypassword@mydatabase
contains the line /create eul /log create.log
contains the line /delete eul /log delete.log
These three files can then be run from the command line in any of the following three combinations:
dis5adm.exe /cmdfile connect.txt
This would be a simple connect from the command line.
dis5adm.exe /cmdfile connect.cmd /cmdfile create.txt
This would connect and create an EUL for the connected user, storing all output into a log file named create.log.
This would connect and delete the EUL owned by the connected user, storing all output into a log file named delete.log .

dis5adm.exe /connect me/mypassword /delete_eul /log "c:\my log dir\delete_eul.log" |
This command enables you to export EUL objects to a Discoverer export file (EEX file). You can selectively export individual EUL objects (e.g. folders, business areas, functions) or entire EULs (using the /all modifier). When you import multiple files, Discoverer automatically resolves references between the files. For example, you can export the Emp folder in fileA.eex and the Dept folder in fileB.eex. If Emp and Dept are joined, the join information will actually be in both files, but neither file contains the information for both folders. If you import both files, the join will be recreated when the second file is processed.

<filename> - The name of the target *.EEX file. If a directory path is not specified, the target file is created in the default Discoverer folder. To override the default target directory setting, specify a directory path for the file, for example c:\data\sales.eex . Note that the directory path must be an absolute path, not a relative path. Wildcards are not allowed for parameters (e.g. business areas, folders) these must be named explicitly. [<bus_area_name>] - Use this option to export an entire business area and contents. If you only want to export the business area definition and metadata for the contents, use the /business_area modifier. When you export a business area using the /business_area modifier, Discoverer exports only business area definitions and links to the folders in the business area. Discoverer will export the folders and workbooks only when they are specified by name. <modifiers> - When specifying parameters, you can use either their Display Name or Identifier. To maintain data relationships, you must also export linked (or joined) objects. |
|
To export two business areas named Test BA and Final BA, residing in an EUL named eul31, into a file named export.eex, and write to a log file named export.log, enter: dis5adm.exe /connect me/mypassword@database /export export.eex "Test BA, Final BA" /eul eul31 /log export.log |
