1 Command Line Interface Concepts and Installation

This chapter discusses the following Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI) topics:

- Overview

- How the EM CLI Works

- Preliminary Advisory Information

- EM CLI Quick Start

- Security and Authentication

- Script Availability for Output Data Verbs

Overview

The Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI) enables you to access Enterprise Manager Grid Control functionality from text-based consoles (shells and command windows) for a variety of operating systems. You can call Enterprise Manager functionality using custom scripts, such as SQL*Plus, OS shell, Perl, or Tcl, thus easily integrating Enterprise Manager functionality with a company's business process.

Using EM CLI, you can perform Enterprise Manager Grid Control console-based operations, such as monitoring and managing targets, jobs, groups, blackouts, notifications, and alerts. EM CLI is intended for use by enterprise or system administrators writing scripts, such as shell/batch files, Perl, Tcl, or PHP, that provide workflow in the customer's business process. You can also use EM CLI commands interactively from an operating system console.

EM CLI is fully integrated with Enterprise Manager's security and user administration functions, enabling you to carry out operations using EM CLI with the same security and confidentiality as the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console. For example, you can only see and operate on targets for which you are authorized.

Examples of EM CLI usage are as follows:

- Enterprise Manager Integration with third-party or custom software through scripting. Actions (such as adding/deleting targets, submitting/deleting jobs, creating/deleting users) that are part of a customer's business model can be performed through scripting.

- Every day, send an e-mail list of backup jobs that were still running after 6 a.m.

- Every week, write pertinent information about failed Enterprise Manager jobs to a file and then purge the Enterprise Manager job history.

How the EM CLI Works

The EM CLI Client is a Java application that accepts a command as input. The EM CLI Client uses the input command to identify a Verb to execute the command. A Verb is a Java plug-in extension to the EM CLI Client. A Verb services the command with its specific options and posts the results to the standard output stream. Any errors are posted to the error output stream. The Verb also returns an integer exit value that the EM CLI Client sets as the exit value of the command in the Client's calling environment (the operating system console).

A Verb can perform its operations locally, but most of the verbs included with the EM CLI are covered by the remote Verb in the EM CLI Client. The remote Verb contacts the EM CLI OMS Extension in the Enterprise Manager Oracle Management Services (OMS) Console via HTTP/HTTPS and sends the command line through HTTP to the OMS for processing. The EM CLI OMS Extension is essentially a standard Enterprise Manager console page, and is installed in the OMS just as any other standard console page. As with the EMCLI Client, the EM CLI OMS Extension uses the input command to identify a Verb to execute the command. The Verb can access the Management Repository or Management Agents via OMS services as necessary in processing the command.

The remote Verb logs on to the OMS and establishes a session automatically, as necessary, to access the OMS-Side Controller. The remote Verb impersonates the Enterprise Manager user that invoked the command from the Client. The Enterprise Manager user credentials are established locally to the EM CLI Client during a one-time, interactive exchange when the Enterprise Manager administrator uses the EM CLI setup Verb. Figure 1–1 shows the high-level architecture of EM CLI.

Figure 1-1 EM CLI Architecture

For more information about any of these functional areas, see Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts.

Preliminary Advisory Information

- EM CLI does not allow OS Script jobs to be run against database targets. The Enterprise Manager Grid Control console, however, does allow this.

- EM CLI has only been certified for submitting OS Script and SQL Script jobs.

- To avoid an uncommon occurrence in which multiple emcli sessions are created on the OMS, Oracle recommends that you enter the login command before running a script containing EMCLI commands.

EM CLI Quick Start

Setting up and running EM CLI is simple. EM CLI consists of two components used to access the Enterprise Manager framework functionality:

- EM CLI Client

- EM CLI Oracle Management Service Extension

You can install the EM CLI Client on any system within your managed network. The EM CLI Client is a command-line program (Java-based) that sends EM CLI Verbs to a specific OMS. In some respects, the EM CLI Client functions as a command-line equivalent of an Enterprise Manager Grid Control console. The EM CLI OMS Extension is automatically installed with the OMS and serves as the communication conduit between the EM CLI Client and the OMS.

Requirements

Before installing EM CLI, you will need the following items:

- Enterprise Manager 10g 10.2.0.5 Grid Control framework

- Java version 1.4.1 or greater

- Workstation running Solaris, Linux, HPUX, Tru64, AIX, or Windows with NTFS (client installation)

Installation and Setup

As mentioned above, the EM CLI OMS Extension is automatically installed with the OMS. You must install and set up the client portion. The following instructions cover installation and setup procedures for the EM CLI Client.

Installing the EM CLI Client

1. Obtain the EM CLI Client kit (emclikit.jar).
You can download the EM CLI client kit from any 10.2 Grid Control installation at the following location:

HTTP(S)://host:port/em/console/emcli/download

The emclikit.jar file is physically located in the $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/jlib directory of the 10.2.0.5 Grid Control OMS home.

2. Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable and ensure that it is part of your PATH. Make sure that this variable is set to the home of a JDK 1.4.1 or greater. For example:

setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/packages/j2sdk1.4.1_02

setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

3. Enter the following command to ensure that you have the correct Java in your PATH:

which java

This should show the Java in $JAVA_HOME/bin.

4. Install the EM CLI Client. You can install the client portion of EM CLI in any directory either on the same system as the OMS or on any system in your network (download the emclikit.jar file to that system).
Go to the directory where you have installed emclikit.jar:

cd $HOME/<your emcli installation directory>

5. Enter the following command:

java -jar emclikit.jar client -install_dir=<emcli client dir>

After you have installed the EM CLI Client, you are ready to begin setting up the client.

Setting Up the EM CLI Client

After the EM CLI Client is installed, you are ready to begin using EM CLI. At this point, you can run the EM CLI Client out of the installation directory location, or alternatively, you can add it to your PATH.

Immediately after installation, only basic operational Verbs are installed:

- argfile — Execute an EM CLI Verb where the Verb and any arguments are contained in a file.

- help — Access command-line help for EM CLI Verbs.

- login — Log in and establish a session with the OMS.

- logout — Log out of EM CLI client from Enterprise Manager.

- setup — Configure EM CLI to function with a specific OMS.

- sync — Synchronize the EM CLI Client with an OMS.

- add_mp_to_mpa — Create (or add to) the Management Plug-in Archive. The Management Plug-in Archive is available for adding new target types to Enterprise Manager.

- add_group_to_mpa — Add a Management Plug-in group to a Management Plug-in Archive.

Running Setup

You must run setup to connect the EM CLI Client to the OMS running the EM CLI Management Services. Running the setup Verb installs all available Verb-associated command-line help from the EM CLI Management Service. You must run setup each time you want to connect to a different OMS.

1. Understand the syntax of the setup Verb and its options by entering the following command or referring to the setup Verb in the verb reference chapter of this guide:
./emcli help setup

2. Enter the setup Verb with at least the minimum required parameters as shown in the following example:

./emcli setup -url=http://myworkstation.us.oracle.com:em_port/em    -username=em_user

As you observed from step 1, the setup Verb has several options, including the following important options:

- ssousername and ssopassword

- noautologin

- custom_attrib_file

3. Enter your user password when prompted after the EM CLI client connects with the EM CLI Management Services.

After running the setup Verb, the message "Emcli Setup Successful" appears, and you are ready to begin using EM CLI.

Tip:
For complete information on the Setup verb and its options, including ssousername, ssopassword, noautologin, and custom_attrib_file referenced in step 2, see the setup Verb.
To configure the EM CLI Client to function with multiple OMSes by implementing multiple setups, see the Examples section for the Setup verb.

Using EM CLI Log Files

EM CLI creates log files to record informational and error messages generated during operation. Not all of the logs in the following examples are necessarily present. Logs are created as needed and are append-based — they are preserved between invocations of EM CLI. You can safely delete log files any time without affecting EM CLI operation. The logs contain stack traces, which may not be useful for the casual user, but may benefit you with a high level of system knowledge.

The following examples show possible log file locations:

CONFIG_DIR/.emcli.log
CONFIG_DIR/.emcli.log.1

CONFIG_DIR refers to the directory specified by the -dir option in the latest running of the setup Verb (with an appended .emcli subdirectory). The current CONFIG_DIR directory can be identified by executing the setup Verb with no options to display the setup summary.

Log files are limited to a maximum of 0.5 MB. EM CLI alternates between the two log files — as each file reaches the 0.5 MB limit, EM CLI begins writing to the other file, overwriting the oldest log file after emcli.log.1 has been filled for the first time.

The following examples show possible log file locations:

Example 1-1 No configuration directory is specified with the setup Verb (Default location)

user.home/.emcli/.emcli.log
user.home/.emcli/.emcli.log.1

If you do not specify a configuration directory when you run the setup Verb (-dir option is omitted), EM CLI assumes the .emcli configuration directory is located within the your local home directory. The log files are placed at the root level of the .emcli directory. The .emcli directory must be local (not mounted remotely).

Example 1-2 Local configuration directory is specified with the setup Verb (-dir=<local directory>

local.dir/.emcli/.emcli.log
local.dir/.emcli/.emcli.log.1

In this example, the configuration directory is specified using the -dir option when the setup Verb is run. This allows you to specify a local configuration directory if the user home directory is mounted remotely (through NFS, for example).

Configuring an HTTP Proxy Environment

If you are planning to use EM CLI through an HTTP proxy server, you need to set an additional environment variable (EMCLI_OPTS) that supplies EM CLI with the requisite proxy host and port information. The following examples illustrate setting the EMCLI_OPTS environment variable for both Windows and UNIX operating systems.

Example 1-3 Setting EMCLI_OPTS in a Microsoft Windows Environment

>set EMCLI_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy host> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy port>

Example 1-4 Setting EMCLI_OPTS in a UNIX Environment (TCSH)

>setenv EMCLI_OPTS "-Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy host> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy port>"

EM CLI Command-line Help

EM CLI incorporates a comprehensive command-line help system that provides various levels of assistance. Available from any EM CLI Client installation, the help system provides a listing of all available verbs, descriptive overviews for each verb, syntax, as well as usage examples. The command-line help is the definitive EM CLI information source.

To access command-line help, enter the following command for an overview of all available verbs ...

./emcli help

... or enter the following command for a detailed Verb description, Verb arguments and options, and usage examples.

./emcli help <verb>

Security and Authentication

Each operating system user must execute a one-time EM CLI initialization that locally defines the location of the Oracle Management Services and the Enterprise Manager credentials to be used whenever this user invokes EM CLI.

Example 1-5 CLI-Enterprise Manager Authentication

>emcli setup –url="http[s]://host:port/em/" –username="<username>"  [-trustall] [-novalidate]>please enter password:

Note:
You can find out the OMS connection information from any EM CLI Client by issuing the setup Verb without any options. For example:
>emcli setup

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 10.2.0.5

Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

CONFIG DIRECTORY: /home/emcli_install_dir/.emcli

OMS : http://my_system.my_co.com:port/em/

EM USER : username

TRUST ALL : false

HTTPS Trusted Certificate Management

For authenticating an OMS during the SSL server authentication phase of an HTTPS connection handshake, EM CLI searches for trusted certificates in the following key stores:

CONFIG_DIR/.emcli/.localkeystore
user.home/.emcli/.keystore
JRE_HOME/lib/security/cacerts

CONFIG_DIR is the directory specified by the -dir option in the latest running of the setup Verb (with an appended .emcli subdirectory). See "Using EM CLI Log Files" for more information about the CONFIG_DIR parameter.

JRE_HOME in a JDK installation is typically JAVA_HOME/jre.

The JDK keytool command can manage the key stores. For more information about this tool, see the security documentation for your Java VM installation, or at the time of this writing:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html

Not all of the key stores in the list above will necessarily be present.

Secure Clients

You can provide credentials to EM CLI in one of two ways:

- Provide credentials at the time of use. See the login and logout verbs for information on credentials.

- Make credentials persistent on the host system where the EM CLI client is running, as might be the case when executing EM CLI verbs from a shell script.

Caution:
You should only make credentials persistent on hosts when the host is a secure client, since the only protection available for credentials is the file-system security of the OS.
Oracle also recommends not using persistent credentials if the EM CLI user's home directory is mounted over NFS or any other insecure file system.

Secure Mode for the EM CLI Setup

The EM CLI client installs certain configuration files and a client-side implementation of verbs on the client system. The EM CLI client configuration files contain information such as OMS URL, Enterprise Manager user name, Enterprise Manager password, and SSO user name and password (if EM is SSO-enabled). The default mode stores these credentials, which is inherently insecure because of backward compatibility reasons.

To eliminate this security risk, a secure mode EM CLI setup does not store any EM or SSO passwords on the client disk. For a secure setup, you need to specify the noautologin option for the Setup verb. You provide the credentials once during setup, after which a session is established between the client and OMS. All subsequent verbs use this session. Inactivity or an explicit logout (using the Logout verb) terminates this session, and a re-setup or an explicit login (using the Login verb) is required before invoking any new verb.

- For information on the noautologin option, see the setup verb on page 2-217.

- For information on logging in, see the login verb on page 2-154.

- For information on logging out, see the logout verb on page 2-156.

Script Availability for Output Data Verbs

For easy parsing of Verb output by scripts, a –script argument is available for all verbs that generate output data. If the -script argument is used, all output columns become tab-separated (with non-null values), and all rows become newline-separated. You can override the default column and row separators by using the -format argument in place of -script.

[-script|-format="name:<format type>;column_separator:<separator_text>;row_separator:<separator_text>"]

Supported -format arguments are shown in Table 1–1.

Table 1-1 Supported "-format" Arguments

Argument

Explanation

-format="name:pretty"

Pretty-print the output. This is the default when both -script and -format are not specified.

-format="name:script"

Identical to just specifying –script. Columns are tab-separated, and rows are newline- separated.

-format="name:script;column_separator:<column_sep_string>"

Causes the Verb output to be column-separated by <column_sep_string>. Rows are separated by the newline character.

-format="name:script;row_separator:<row_sep_string>"

Causes the Verb output to be row-separated by <row_sep_string>. Columns are separated by the tab character.

-format="name:script;column_separator:<column_sep_string>;row_separator:<row_sep_string>"

Causes the Verb output to be column-separated by <column_sep_string> and row- separated by <row_sep_string>.

-format="name:csv"

Produces a table with the columns separated by commas and the rows by newlines.

- -script is equivalent to –format="name:script;column_separator:\u0009;row_separator:\u000A"

- The values for column and row separator are given as one or more character strings. Any of the characters can be represented by the unicode sequence \uXXXX (where X is a hex value).
NOTE: The ASCII character set is represented by \u00XX, where XX can range from 00 to 7F. For example, the tab character is represented by \u0009 and the newline character is represented by \u000A.

- The pretty format type has no attributes.

- In script mode, any Verb output cells that contain the separator strings are substituted with the unicode values for these strings so that the output does not break any scripts required to parse the output.

- script is the only format type for which separators can be specified.

- Separators need not be single characters, and can be specified using both regular characters interspersed with unicode sequences as shown in the following example:

Example 1-6 Complex Separator

Separator Specification: xxx\u0009xxx\u0009

This separator appears as xxx followed by a tab, followed by xxx followed by another tab.

add_beacon

Adds a beacon to the monitoring set of beacons. All enabled tests are pushed to the beacon.

Format

emcli add_beacon
-name=target name
-type=target type
-bcnName=beacon name
[-dontSetKey]

Options

- name
Service target name.

- type
Service target type.

- bcnName
Beacon name to add.

- dontSetKey
Indicates the added beacon is not automatically a key beacon. Only use this option if you do not want the beacon to participate in the availability calculation of the service and tests.

Examples

The following example adds MyBeacon to the MyTarget service target of type generic_service.

emcli add_beacon -name='MyTarget' -type='generic_service'
-bcnName='MyBeacon'

add_group_to_mpa

Adds a Management Plug-in (MP) group to a Management Plug-in Archive (MPA). If the MPA file does not exist, it is created.

Format

emcli add_group_to_mpa     -mpa="mpa"     -name="group name"     -member="mpname:mpversion"...     [-desc="description"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- mpa
Name of the MPA where the resulting MP is placed. The MPA file name could be an existing MPA file or a new file. You can only use this option once in the command.

- name
Name of the group.

- member
An MP to be added to the group. The MP is specified by its target type as found in the target type definition file and version. Using "newest" as the version specifies no version for this group member MP. When operating on the group, the newest version of the MP available is used. The order of MPs define the order these MPs become deployed when the stack is deployed. The reverse order is used for undeployment.

- desc
Description of the group.

Examples

The following example adds a group that contains a single Management Plug-in.

emcli add_group_to_mpa
-mpa="MyMPA.jar"
-name="MyGroup"
-desc="MyGroup is described by this text."
-member="an_mp:1.1"

The following example adds a group that contains multiple Management Plug-ins. On deployment, an_mp is deployed before another_mp. The newest imported version of another_mp is used.

emcli add_group_to_mpa
-mpa="MyMPA.jar"
-name="AnotherGroup"
-desc="AnotherGroup is described by this text."
-member="an_mp:1.1"
-member="another_mp:newest"

add_mp_to_mpa

Adds a Management Plug-in (MP) to a Management Plug-in Archive (MPA). If the MPA file does not exist, it is created.

Format

emcli add_mp_to_mpa
-mpa="mpa"
-mp_version="mp_version"
-ttd="target_type_definition"
-dc="default_collection"
[-oms_version="oms_version"]
[-agent_version="agent_version"]
[-file="file_type":"file_path"]...
[-func_desc="functional_desc"]
[-req_desc="requirements_desc"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- mpa
Name of the MPA where the resulting MP is placed. The MPA file name can be an existing MPA file or a new file. You can only use this option once in the command.

- mp_version
Version of the MP being added to the MPA. This version indicates the version of the files that comprise the MP, and is independent of the metadata version in the target type definition file. This version, along with the MP name (the target type as parsed from the target type definition file), indicates a unique MP.

- ttd
Path of the target-type definition file. This file specifies the metadata definition of the target type and the metrics for this target type. You can only use this option once in the command.

- dc
Path of the default collection file. This file specifies the scheduled collection of metrics for targets with this target type. You can only use this option once in the command.

- oms_version
Minimum OMS version compatible with this MP. You can only use this option once in the command.

- agent_version
Minimum Enterprise Manager Agent version compatible with this MP. You can only use this option once in the command.

- file
Type and path of other files to be included in the MP. You can specify this option more than once. The supported types are:

- MONITORING_BINARY — Monitoring binary or executable the target-type definition uses to collect data.

- MONITORING_SCRIPT — Monitoring script the target-type definition uses to collect data.

- REPORT_DEFINITION — PL/SQL calls into the reporting framework to define reports for this version of the MP.

- JOB_SCRIPT — Script on the Agent executed by a job type.

- JOB_DEFINITION — XML file that defines a job type.

- HOMEPAGE_DEFINITION — XML file that defines charts to show on the home page.

You must specify JOB_SCRIPT and JOB_DEFINITION together.

- func_desc
Describes the purpose of the MP and any other general information about the MP. You can only use this option once in the command.

- req_desc
Describes any conditions that may exist for this MP to be successfully deployed and used. Since this description is optional, you can ignore it, but this is not recommended. You can only use this option once in the command.

Example

The following example adds Management Plug-in files to a Management Plug-in Archive called my_new_type.jar.

emcli add_mp_to_mpa
-mpa="/my_dir/my_new_type.jar"
-mp_version="2.0"
-ttd="/my_dir/ttd/new_type.xml"
-dc="/my_dir/dc/new_type.xml"
-file="MONITORING_SCRIPT:/my_dir/script1.pl"
-file="MONITORING_SCRIPT:/my_dir/script2.pl"
-file="MONITORING_BINARY:/my_dir/bin1"
-func_desc="Management Plug-in to define target type new_type"

add_target

Adds a target to be monitored by Enterprise Manager. The target type specified is checked on the Management Agent for existence and for required properties, such as user name and password for host target types, or log-in credentials for database target types. You must specify any required properties of a target type when adding a new target of this type.

For oracle_database target types, you must specify Role with the monitoring credentials. If the Role is Normal, the UserName must be dbsnmp. Otherwise, the Role must be SYSDBA, and UserName can be any user with SYSDBA privileges.

Note:
You cannot use this verb for composite targets. The verb does not support adding an association between a parent target such as IAS and a child target such as OC4J.

Format

emcli add_target
-name="name"
-type="type"
-host="hostname"
[-properties="pname1:pval1;pname2:pval2;..."]
[-separator=properties="sep_string"]
[-subseparator=properties="subsep_string"]
[-credentials="userpropname:username;pwdpropname:password;..."]
[-input_file="parameter_tag:file_path"]
[-display_name="display name"]
[-groups="groupname1:grouptype1;groupname2:grouptype2;..."]
[-timezone_region="gmt offset"]
[-monitor_mode="monitor mode"]
[-instances="rac database instance target name1:target type1;..."]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- name
Target name. Names cannot contain colons ( : ), semi-colons ( ; ), or any leading or trailing blanks.

- type
Target type. Standard target types include: host, oracle_database, oracle_apache, oracle_listener, and oracle_emd. To see all available target types available for your environment, check the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/metadata directory. A metadata file (XML) exists for each target type.

- host
Network name of the system running the Management Agent that is collecting data for this target instance.

- properties
Name-value pair (that is, prop_name:prop_value) list of properties for the target instance. The "name"(s) are identified in the target-type metadata definition. They must appear exactly as they are defined in this file. Metadata files are located in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/metadata.

- separator=properties
Specify a string delimiter to use between name-value pairs for the value of the -properties option. The default separator delimiter is ";".

- subseparator=properties
Specifies a string delimiter to use between the name and value in each name-value pair for the value of the -properties option. The default subseparator delimiter is ":".

- credentials
Monitoring credentials (name-value pairs) for the target instance. The "name"(s) are identified in the target-type metadata definition as credential properties. The credentials must be specified exactly as they are defined in the target's metadata file. Metadata files are located in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/metadata.

- input_file
Used in conjunction with the -credentials option, this option enables you to store specific target monitoring credential values, such as passwords, in a separate file. The -input_file option specifies a mapping between a tag and a local file path. The tag is specified in lieu of specific monitoring credentials of the -credentials option. The tag must not contain colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ).

- display_name
Target name displayed in the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console.

- groups
Name-value pair list of the groups to which this target instance belongs. Follows the format of groupname:grouptype;groupname2:grouptype2.

- timezone_region
GMT offset for this target instance. (-7 or -04:00 are acceptable formats.)

- monitor_mode
Either 0, 1, or 2 (default is 0). 1 indicates OMS-mediated monitoring, and 2 indicates Agent-mediated monitoring.

- instances
Name-value pair list of RAC database instances that the RAC database target has.

Examples

The following example adds an oracle_database target with the name "database." Note how the credentials are specified. The "name"(s) in the name-value pairs come from the oracle_database metadata file. They must appear exactly as they are named in that file. This also applies for the property "name"(s). This example uses the base minimum of required credentials and properties for the database target.

emcli add_target
-name="database"
-type="oracle_database"
-host="myhost.us.oracle.com"
-credentials="UserName:dbsnmp;password:dbsnmp;Role:Normal"
-properties="SID:semcli;Port:15091;OracleHome:/oracle;        MachineName:smpamp-sun1.us.oracle.com"
-groups="Group1:database_group;Group2:group"

The following example adds an oracle_database target with the name "database." This example illustrates the use of the input_file to camouflage the credentials. The password is actually in a file named at_pwd_file. The input_file argument is used to replace PWD_FILE with the contents of the at_pwd_file in the credentials argument.

emcli add_target
-name="database"
-type="oracle_database"
-host="myhost.us.oracle.com"
-credentials="UserName:dbsnmp;password:PWD_FILE;Role:Normal"
-properties="SID:semcli;Port:15091;OracleHome:/oracle;        MachineName:smpamp-sun1.us.oracle.com"
-input_file="PWD_FILE:/emcli_dir/pwdfiles/at_pwd_file"

The following example illustrates how to add a RAC database with given installed RAC database instances and clusterware. The example adds a rac_database target with the name cluster_database and the cluster name newdb_cluster. A RAC instance is picked up among instances on the given host. This verb should be called after database instances and clusterwares have been installed.

emcli add_target
-name="cluster_database"
-type="rac_database"
-host="myhost.us.oracle.com"
-monitor_mode="1"
-properties="ServiceName:service.us.oracle.com;ClusterName:        newdb_cluster"
-instances="database_inst1:oracle_database;database_inst2:        oracle_database"

The following example adds an oracle_listener target with the name mylist. The LsnrName is the name of the listener as configured in the listener.ora file, and ListenerOraDir is the directory containing the listener.ora file.

emcli add_target
-name="mylist"
-type="oracle_listener"
-host="myhost.us.oracle.com"
-properties="LsnrName:LISTENER;ListenerOraDir:/oracle/lsnr;        Port:15091;OracleHome:/oracle;Machine:smpamp-sun1.us

add_target_property

Adds a new target property for a given target type. All targets of this target type will have this new target property.

Format

emcli add_target_property
-target_type="target_type"
-property="prop_name"

Options

- target_type
Target type for which this property needs to be added. To add this property to all existing target types, you can specify a "*" wildcard character.

- property
Name of the property to be created for this target type. Property names are case-sensitive. The property name cannot be the same as the following Oracle-provided target property names (in English):

Comment, Deployment Type, Line of Business, Location, Contact

Examples

The following example adds the owner name property for all targets of type oracle_database.

emcli add_target_property -target_type="oracle_database" -property="Owner Name"

The following example adds the Owner property for all target types.

emcli add_target_property -target_type="*" -property="Owner"

apply_privilege_delegation_setting

Activates Sudo or PowerBroker settings for specified targets.

Format

emcli apply_privilege_delegation_setting
-setting_name="setting"
-target_type="host/composite"
[-target_names="name1;name2;..."]
[-input_file="FILE:file_path"]
[-force="yes/no"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- setting_name
Name of the setting you want to apply.

- target_names
List of target names. The newly submitted setting applies to this list of EM targets.

- All targets must be of the same type.

- The target list must not contain more than one element if the element's target type is "group."

- The group referenced above should have at least one host target.

- target_type
Type of targets to which the setting is applied. Valid target types are "host" or "composite" (group).

- input_file
Path of the file that has target names. This option enables you to pass targets in a separate file. The file cannot contain any colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ).

- force
If yes, the operation continues and ignores any invalid targets. The default is no.

Examples

The following example applies a privilege setting named sudo_setting. This setting applies to targets of type host, and it is being applied to host1, host2, and so forth.

emcli apply_privilege_delegation_setting
-setting_name=sudo_setting
-target_type=host
-target_names="host1;host2;....."

The following example applies a privilege setting named sudo_setting. This setting applies to targets of type host, and it is being applied to host1, host2, and so forth. The force flag indicates that the setting is applied to all valid targets, and invalid targets are ignored.

emcli apply_privilege_delegation_setting
-setting_name=sudo_setting
-target_type=host
-target_names="host1;host2;....."
-force=yes

The following example applies a privilege setting named sudo_setting. This setting applies to targets of type host, and host names are selected from /home/jdoe/file.txt (one host per line). The force flag indicates that the setting is applied to all valid targets, and invalid targets are ignored.

emcli apply_privilege_delegation_setting
-setting_name=sudo_setting
-target_type=host
-input_file="FILE:/home/jdoe/file.txt"
-force=yes

apply_template

Applies a template to a list of specified targets. The parameters to the verb can be supplied in any order.

Format

emcli apply_template
-name="template_name"
-targets="tname1: ttype1;tname2: ttype2;..."
[-copy_flags="0" or "1" or "2"]
[-replace_metrics="0" or "1"]
[-input_file="FILE1:file_name"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- name
Template name as it exists in the database. Names cannot contain colons ( : ), semi-colons ( ; ), or any leading or trailing blanks.

- targets
The targets should be specified in the following sequence:

TargetName1:TargetType1;TargetName2:TargetType2

For example:

db1:oracle_database;my db group:composite

A semi-colon is the target separator. Ideally, non-composite targets should be of the target type applicable to the template. If not, the template is not applied to the said target. For composite targets, the template is applied only to the member targets that belong to the target type for which the template is applicable.

- copy_flags
This applies only for metrics with multiple thresholds.

'0' indicates: Apply threshold settings for key values common to the template and target.

'1' indicates: Remove key value threshold settings in the target and replace them with key value threshold settings from the template.

'2' indicates: Apply threshold settings for all key values defined in the template. The default is option '0'.

- replace_metrics
0 indicates that the thresholds of the metrics not included in the template but available in the target will not be changed. This is the default option. 1 indicates that the thresholds of the metrics present in the target, but not in the template, will be set to NULL. That is, such metrics in the target will not be monitored and therefore, no alert will be raised for them.

- input_file
The file should contain the credentials according to the following cases:

One:

If User-Defined Metric (UDM) credentials take the value "All User-Defined Metrics use the same credentials," you need to provide these credentials in the following format:

Sample input file:

credListType:all;
usr_name:joe1;passwrd:pass1;

Two:

If UDM Credentials take the value "Each User-Defined Metric uses its own credentials,"you need to provide these credentials in the following format:

Sample input file:

credListType:perUDM;
udm_name:UDM1;usr_name:joe1;passwrd:pass1;
udm_name:UDM2;usr_name:joe2;passwrd:pass2;

Three:

If UDM Credentials take the value "Each User-Defined Metric uses different credentials for different targets," you need to provide these credentials in the following format:

Sample input file:

credListType:perTargetperUDM;
udm_name:UDM1;tgt_name:TNAME1;usr_name:joe1;passwrd:pass1;
udm_name:UDM1;tgt_name:TNAME2;usr_name:joe2;passwrd:pass2;
udm_name:UDM2;tgt_name:TNAME1;usr_name:joe3;passwrd:pass3;
udm_name:UDM2;tgt_name:TNAME2;usr_name:joe4;passwrd:pass4;

It is important to specify the "credListType" in every input text file that you specify.

Examples

The following example applies a monitoring template named my_db_template. This template applies to targets of type oracle_database, and it is being applied to db1 , which is of type oracle_database, and my_db_group, which is of type composite. For composite targets, the template is only applied to member targets that belong to the target type for which the template is applicable. Since the copy_flags option is not specified, the default option ("Apply threshold settings for monitored objects common to both template and target") is meant.

emcli apply_template -name="my_db_template"
-targets="db1:oracle_database;my_db_group:composite"

The following example applies a monitoring template named my_db_template. This template applies to targets of type oracle_database and it is being applied to db1, which is of type oracle_database and my_db_group, which is of type composite. In case of composite targets, the template is applied only to member targets that belong to the target type for which the template is applicable. In this case, since the copy_flags option is specified as 1, the threshold settings on the target will be duplicated.

emcli apply_template -name="my_db_template"
-targets="db1:oracle_database;my_db_group:composite"
-copy_flags="1"

The following example applies a monitoring template named my_db_template. This template applies to targets of type oracle_database and it is being applied to db1, which is of type oracle_database and my_db_group, which is of type composite. For composite targets, the template is applied only to member targets that belong to the target type for which the template is applicable. In this case, since the copy_flags option is specified as "1", the threshold settings on the target will be duplicated. Furthermore, the credentials needed for the UDMs are present in the file "/usr/vmotamar/db_credentials.txt".

emcli apply_template -name="my_db_template"
-targets="db1:oracle_database;my_db_group:composite"
-copy_flags="1" -input_file= "FILE1:/usr/vmotamar/db_credentials.txt"

For more examples, see the online help.

apply_template_tests

Applies the variables and test definitions from the file(s) into a repository target.

Format

emcli apply_template_tests
-targetName=<target name>
-targetType=<target type>
-input_file=template:<template filename>
[-input_file=variables:<variable filename>]
[-overwriteExisting=<all | none | <test1>:<type1>;<test2>:<type2>;...>]
[-encryption_key=<key>]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- targetName
Target name.

- targetType
Target type.

- input_file=template
Name of the input file containing the test definitions.

- input_file=variables
Name of the input file containing the variable definitions. If this attribute is not specified, the variables are extracted from the same file containing the test definitions.

The variables file format is as follows:

<variables xmlns="template">
<variable name="<name1>" value="<value1>"/>
<variable name="<name2>" value="<value2>"/>
...
</variables>

- overwriteExisting
Specifies which tests should be overwritten in case they already exist on the target. The possible values are:

1. 'none' (default): None of the existing tests on the target will be overwritten.

2. 'all': If a test with the same name exists on the target, it will be overwritten with the test definition specified in the template file.

3. <test1>:<type1>;<test2>:<type2>;...: If any of tests with names <test1>, <test2>, and so forth exist on the target, they are overwritten with the definition in the template file.

- encryption_key
Optional key to decrypt the file contents. This key should be the same as the one used to encrypt the file.

Examples

The following example applies the test definitions contained in the file my_template.xml into the Generic Service target my_target, using the key my_password to decrypt the file contents. If tests with names my_website or my_script exist on the target, they are overwritten by the test definitions in the file.

emcli apply_template_tests
-targetName='my_target' -targetType='generic_service'
-input_file=template:'my_template.xml' -encryption_key='my_password'
-overwriteExisting='my_website:HTTP;my_script:OS'

argfile

Executes one or more EM CLI verbs, where both verbs and the associated arguments are contained in an ASCII file. argfile enables you to use verbs with greater flexibility. For example, when specifying a large list of targets to be blacked out (create_blackout verb), you can use the argfile verb to input the target list from a file.

Multiple emcli verb invocations are permitted in this file. You should separate each verb invocation with a new line.

Format

emcli argfile /path/to/<input_file_name>

Options

None.

Examples

emcli argfile my_verb_arguments

assign_test_to_target

Assigns a test-type to a target-type. If a test-type t is assigned to target-type T, all targets of type T can be queried with tests of type t.

Format

emcli assign_test_to_target
-testtype=test-type to be assigned
-type=target type
[-tgtVersion]=version of target type

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- testtype
Test-type to be assigned. Should be the internal name; that is, 'HTTP' instead of 'Web Transaction'.

- type
Service target type.

- tgtVersion
Version of the target type. If not specified, the latest version is used.

Examples

The following example assigns test type HTTP to targets of type generic service v2.

emcli assign_test_to_target -testtype='HTTP' -type='generic_service'
-tgtVersion='2.0'

change_service_system_assoc

Changes the system that hosts a given service.

Format

emcli change_service_system_assoc
-name='name'
-type='type'

Targets to add to the blackout, each specified as target_name:target_type. You can specify this option more than once.

- reason
Reason for the blackout. If you have SUPER_USER privileges (you are an Enterprise Manager Super Administrator), any text string can be used for the reason. The reason is added to the list of allowable blackout reasons if it is not already in the list. If you do not have SUPER_USER privileges, you must specify one of the text strings returned by the get_blackout_reasons verb.

- description
Description or comments pertaining to the blackout. The description, limited to 2000 characters, can be any text string.

- jobs_allowed
When this option is specified, jobs are allowed to run against blacked-out targets during the blackout period. When this option is not specified, jobs scheduled to be run against these targets are not allowed to run during the blackout period. After a blackout has been created, you cannot change the "allowed jobs" option from either EM CLI or the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console.

- propagate_targets
When this option is specified, a blackout for a target of type "host" applies the blackout to all non-Agent targets on the host. Regardless of whether this option is specified, a blackout for a target that is a composite or a group applies the blackout to all members of the composite or group.

- schedule
Blackout schedule. Note that the "frequency" argument determines which other arguments are required or optional.

- schedule=frequency
Type of blackout schedule (default is "once").

- schedule=duration
Duration in hours and minutes of the blackout (-1 means indefinite). Hours and minutes each can be up to 6 digits long.

- schedule=start_time
Start date/time of the blackout. The default value is the current date/time. The format of the value is "yy-MM-dd HH:mm", for example: "2003-09-25 18:34"

- schedule=end_time
Last date/time of the blackout. When "frequency" is weekly, monthly, or yearly, only the date portion is used. When "frequency" is interval or once, the date and time are taken into account. The format of the value is "yy-MM-dd HH:mm"; for example: "2003-09-25 18:34"

- schedule=repeat
Time between successive start times of the blackout. The letter following the number value represents the time units: "m" is minutes, "h" is hours, "d" is days, and "w" is weeks.

- schedule=months
List of integer month values in the range 1-12. Each value must have a corresponding "day" value to fully specify (month, day) pairs that indicate the blackout starting days of the year.

- schedule=days
When "frequency" is weekly, this is a list of integer day-of-week values in the range 1-7 (1 is Sunday). When "frequency" is monthly, this is a list of integer day-of-month values in the range 1-31 or -1 (last day of the month). When "frequency" is yearly, this is a list of integer day-of-month values in the range 1-31 or -1 (last day of the month); in this case, the month is taken as the corresponding "month" value for each (month, day) pair.

- schedule=tzinfo
Type of timezone. The tzinfo argument is used in conjunction with tzoffset. Available timezone types are: "specified" (offset between GMT and the target timezone), "target" (timezone of the specified target), and "repository" (repository timezone -- default setting when tzinfo is not specified). See -schedule=tzoffset for more information.

- schedule=tzoffset
Value of the timezone. When the tzinfo argument is not specified or is "repository", the timezone value is the repository timezone. In this case, the tzoffset argument must not be specified. Otherwise, the tzoffset argument is required. When tzinfo is set to "specified", the tzoffset argument specifies the offset in hours and minutes between GMT and the timezone. When tzinfo is set to "target", the tzoffset argument specifies an integer index (the first is 1) into the list of targets passed as arguments. For example, for a tzoffset setting of 1, the timezone of the first target specified in the -add_targets option is used.

Note that the timezone is applied to the start time and the end time of the blackout periods. The timezones associated with each target are not taken into account when scheduling the blackout periods (except that when tzinfo is set to "target", the specified target's timezone is used for the blackout times).

- schedule=[tzregion:<...>]
Time zone region to use. When you "specify" the tzinfo parameter, this parameter determines which timezone to use for the blackout schedule. Otherwise, it is ignored. It defaults to "GMT".

- HostCredsPriv — Privileged credential set for a host target
The credential set parameter can only be specified when the override credential parameters such as username and password are not present.

If provided, the you must fully specify the override credential parameters. For host command, username and password must be specified together.

- input_file
Used in conjunction with the -osscript option, this option enables you to load the contents of an OS script. The -input_file option specifies a mapping between a tag and a local file path. The tag is specified in lieu of actual osscript contents of the -osscript option. The tag must not contain colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ).

Examples

The following example executes the host command ls -l; against the target stach.us.oracle.com:host and host targets contained in the group grp. The stored HostCredsPriv preferred credentials are used for all the targets.

emcli execute_hostcmd
-cmd="ls -l;"
-credential_set_name="HostCredsPriv"
-targets="stach.us.oracle.com:host;grp:composite"

The following example loads the contents of the script /scratch/dba_scripts/shellscript.sh into the value of option -osscript and executes it against target reference.us.oracle.com:host and host targets contained in the group grp. The stored HostCredsNormal preferred credentials are used for all the targets.

emcli execute_hostcmd
-cmd="/bin/sh -s"
-osscript="FILE"
-input_file="FILE:/scratch/dba_scripts/shellscript.sh"
-credential_set_name="HostCredsNormal"
-targets="reference.us.oracle.com:host;grp:composite"

execute_sql

Executes a SQL command across a set of targets.

Format

emcli execute_sql
-sql="sql command"
-targets="name1:type1;name2:type2;..."
-credential_set_name="name"
[-input_file="parameter_tag:script_file"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- sql
"sql command" is a single SQL statement.

- targets
List of target-name, target-type pairs. The SQL command executes across this list of Enterprise Manager targets. All targets must be of the type oracle_database or composite, which represents a group of targets. If it is a group, the group expands to extract all the database targets, and the SQL command is executed across these database targets.

- credential_set_name
Refers to the set name of the preferred credentials stored in the Enterprise Manager repository. If this parameter is not present, the DBCredsNormal and DBHostCreds credential set is used for executing SQL commands. For each target type, several credential sets exist:

- HostCredsNormal — Default unprivileged credential set for a host target

- HostCredsPriv — Privileged credential set for a host target

- DBHostCreds — Host credential set for an oracle_database target

- DBCredsNormal — Default normal credential set for an oracle_database target

- DBCredsSYSDBA — sysdba credential set for an oracle_database target

You can only specify the credential_set_name parameter when the override credential parameters such as [db_|host_]username and [db_|host_]password are not present. If provided, the override credential parameters must be specified fully. For the SQL commands, db_username, db_password, db_role, host_username, and host_password must be present.

- input_file
Used in conjunction with the -sql option, this option enables you to load the contents of a SQL script. The -input_file option specifies a mapping between a tag and a local file path. The tag is specified in lieu of an actual SQL command for the -sql option. The tag must not contain colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ).

Examples

The following example executes the SQL command select * from sysman.mgmt_targets; against the target database:oracle_database and database targets contained in the group grp. The stored SYSDBA preferred credentials are used for all the targets.

emcli execute_sql
-sql="select * from sysman.mgmt_targets;"
-credential_set_name="DBCredsSYSDBA"
-targets="database:oracle_database;grp:composite"

The following example loads the contents of the script /scratch/dba_scripts/enterprise_schema.sql into the value of option -sql, and executes it against target database:oracle_database and database targets contained in the group grp. The stored SYSDBA preferred credentials are used for all the targets.

emcli execute_sql
-sql="FILE"
-input_file="FILE:/scratch/dba_scripts/enterprise_schema.sql"

Displays information about all of the Certificate Authorities (CA) created since the Grid Control installation. It also displays the Agent names whose certificates are issued by the CA(s) when you specify the -details option. The following information is retrieved from the Grid Control repository:

- Unique identifier of the Certificate Authority (CA) in the Grid Control repository

- CA description

- CA creation date

- CA expiration date

- Number of Agents registered to this CA

- Number of secured Agents not registered to any CA

Format

emcli get_ca_info
[-ca_id="id1;id2;..."] [-details]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- ca_id
Specifies the Certificate Authority ID.

- details
For each Certificate Authority, displays the list of Agent names whose certificates are issued by it.

Examples

The following example shows output for for the CA with the ID of 2 specified.

Number of Agents to be re-secured, as OMS is secured using force_newca           option: 1

Regarding the force_newca option in the last line, the output shows that a new certificate was created with the ID of 2. Two agents have been re-secured to be registered with this new certificate. The OMS running on myomshost.mycompany.com has been re-secured to be registered with the new certificate created. The command "emctl secure oms" failed because a secured Agent was not registered to the new CA, hence the command "emctl secure oms force-newca" to secure the OMS anyway. There is still an Agent that needs to be secured to be registered to the new certificate. To retrieve the Agent name, you need to run the command "emcli get_ca_info -ca_id=2 -details," which is shown in the next example.

The following example displays the Agent names registered with the CA(s) for ID 2.

emcli get_ca_info -ca_id=2 -details

[-displayAllMessages]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- type
Target type as it exists in the database. Names cannot contain colons ( : ), semi-colons ( ; ), or any leading or trailing blanks. You can specify only one target type at a time; for example, -type="oracle_database".

- targets
Targets should be specified in the following sequence:

TargetName1;TargetName2;

For example:

-targets="database1;database2;database3;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the target separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the targets option.

- packs
License packs should be specified in the following sequence:

pack1;pack2;

For example:

-packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the pack separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the packs option.

- file
Specify the file name, including the complete path. For example:

-file="/usr/admin1/db_license.txt"

The file should contain the list of targets and packs according to the following cases:

- If you only need to provide a list of targets, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3;

- If you only need to provide a list of packs, use the following format:

packs=db_diag;db_config;

- If you need to provide a list of both targets and packs, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3;packs=db_diag;db_config;

- displayAllMessages
Displays all messages. Only error messages are displayed by default. "=value" is not allowed on the command line.

Examples

Example 1 and Example 2 below grant licenses to specific packs for specific targets. In order to know which target types and pack names you can pass as arguments, you can use the view named mgmt_license_view to see a list of licensable targets, their target types, and the list of packs licensed on them.

To obtain this information, do the following:

1. Access SQL*Plus with your username and password, using sysman or other user that has access to sysman.mgmt_license_view.

2. Select a distinct pack name from sysman.mgmt_license_view, where:

target_type=<oracle_database>

The following example shows pack names for an Oracle database you specify as the target type.

PACK_NAME
-------------------
db_config
provisioning
db_sadm
db_tuning
db_diag
provisioning_db
db_chgmgt

7 rows selected.

Based on this information, to grant a license to the database1 target for the db_chgmgt pack, you would enter the following command:

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database" -targets="database1" -packs="db_chgmgt"

The only limitation of mgmt_license_view is that it only lists the packs for a target type where the pack is granted to at least one target of that type. That is, if the pack is not granted to any target of that type, mgmt_license_view cannot provide any information.

The following example grants the license to the db_diag and db_config packs to database1, database2, and database3 targets (oracle_database target type):

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"           -targets="database1;database2;database3;" -packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The following example grants the license to the db_diag and db_config packs to all database targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"
-packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The following example grants the license to all packs (applicable to database targets) to database1, database2, and database3 targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"          -targets="database1;database2;database3;"

The following example grants the license to all packs (applicable to database targets) to all database targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"

The following example uses a text file to pass targets and pack names as the argument. It grants the license to the db_diag and db_config packs to the database1, database2, and database3 targets (oracle_database target type):

emcli grant_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"          -file="/usr/admin1/db_license.txt"             targets=database1;database2;database3;                   packs=db_diag;db_config;

where the content of the "/usr/admin1/license/db_license.txt" file is as follows:

targets=database1;database2;database3;
packs=db_diag;db_config;

grant_license_with_validation

Grants licenses on a set of user-specified packs, or all packs to a set of user-specified targets, or all targets belonging to the input licensable target type as per business rules. You can only enable or disable database diagnostics and/or tuning packs for 11g database targets through the UI.

Format

emcli grant_license_with_validation      -type="target_type"      [-targets="tname1;tname2;..."]      [-packs="pack1;pack2;..."]      [-file="file_name"]      [-displayAllMessages]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- type
Target type as it exists in the database. Names cannot contain colons ( : ), semi-colons ( ; ), or any leading or trailing blanks. You can specify only one target type at a time; for example, -type="oracle_database".

- targets
Targets should be specified in the following sequence:

TargetName1;TargetName2;

For example:

-targets="database1;database2;database3;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the target separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the targets option.

- packs
License packs should be specified in the following sequence:

pack1;pack2;

For example:

-packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the pack separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the packs option.

- file
Specify the file name, including the complete path. For example:

-file="/usr/admin1/db_license.txt"

The file should contain the list of targets and packs according to the following cases:

- If you only need to provide a list of targets, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3;

- If you only need to provide a list of packs, use the following format:

packs=db_diag;db_config;

- If you need to provide a list of both targets and packs, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3; packs=db_diag;db_config;

- displayAllMessages
Displays all messages. Only error messages are displayed by default. "=value" is not allowed on the cmd line.

Examples

Example 1 and Example 2 below grant licenses to specific packs for specific targets. In order to know which target types and pack names you can pass as arguments, you can use the view named mgmt_license_view to see a list of licensable targets, their target types, and the list of packs licensed on them.

To obtain this information, do the following:

1. Access SQL*Plus with your username and password, using sysman or other user that has access to sysman.mgmt_license_view.

2. Select a distinct pack name from sysman.mgmt_license_view, where:

target_type=<oracle_database>

The following example shows pack names for an Oracle database you specify as the target type.

PACK_NAME
-------------------
db_config
provisioning
db_sadm
db_tuning
db_diag
provisioning_db
db_chgmgt

7 rows selected.

Based on this information, to grant a license to the database1 target for the db_chgmgt pack, you would enter the following command:

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database" -targets="database1" -packs="db_chgmgt"

The only limitation of mgmt_license_view is that it only lists the packs for a target type where the pack is granted to at least one target of that type. That is, if the pack is not granted to any target of that type, mgmt_license_view cannot provide any information.

The following example grants a license to the db_diag and db_config packs to database1, database2, and database3 targets (oracle_database target type):

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database"           -targets="database1;database2;database3;" -packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The following example grants a license to the db_diag and db_config packs to all database targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database"
-packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The following example grants a license to all packs (applicable to database targets) to database1, database2, and database3 targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database"          -targets="database1;database2;database3;"

The following example grants a license to all packs (applicable to database targets) to all database targets in the setup:

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database"

The following example uses a text file to pass targets and pack names as the argument. It grants a license to the db_diag and db_config packs to the database1, database2, and database3 targets (oracle_database target type):

emcli grant_license_with_validation -type="oracle_database"          -file="/usr/admin1/db_license.txt"             targets=database1;database2;database3;                   packs=db_diag;db_config;

where the content of the "/usr/admin1/license/db_license.txt" file is as follows:

targets=database1;database2;database3;
packs=db_diag;db_config;

import_report

Imports one or more report definitions from an XML file(s) using the title in the XML file and the currently logged-in CLI user as the owner of the report. If the report/owner already exists, the operation fails for this report with an accompanying error message. (You can override this with the optional -force option.) The report will be changed to a just-in-time report with the target type from the exported report.

You will need to edit schedules and access privileges using the UI. The system enforces title/owner uniqueness, so an error occurs if a report with the same title and owner already exists.

Example

The following example displays the time taken to load 10000 records for the default values of batchSize and commitSize.

emcli loader_perf

The following example displays the time taken to load 100000 records for batchSize as {15,40} and commitSize as {10,100}..

emcli loader_perf -b=15 -b=40 -c=10 -c=100 -d=100000

login

Establishes a new session between the OMS and the EM CLI client. This verb and the Logout verb are useful when you need to run a particular verb as a different user.

The login verb requires Enterprise Manager credentials (or Single Sign-On credentials or both) to log in and establish a session. You do not need to provide the same credentials you provided during setup. The credentials you provide during emcli login overwrite the setup credentials.

Always provide the exact credentials. Providing extra credentials may cause erroneous behavior that you can usually resolve by running emcli setup.

If Enterprise Manager is not SSO-enabled, you should only provide Enterprise Manager credentials using the -username and -password options. For an SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager, if the SSO user is also the Enterprise Manager user, you should only provide SSO credentials with the -ssousername and -ssopassword options. Otherwise, you must provide both Enterprise Manager credentials and SSO credentials.

Note:
To avoid an uncommon occurrence in which multiple emcli sessions are created on the OMS, Oracle recommends that you enter the login command before running a script containing EMCLI commands.

Tip:
See also logout.

Format

emcli login      -username=<EM Console Username>      [-password=<EM Console Password>]      [-ssousername=<EM SSO Username>]      [-ssopassword=<EM SSO Password>]      [-force]

- Non SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager:

emcli login -user=<user_name> -pass=<user_password>

- SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager — SSO user is also Enterprise Manager user:

emcli login -ssouser=<sso_user_name> -ssopass=<sso_user_password>

- SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager — SSO user is not the Enterprise Manager user:

emcli login -user=<user_name> -ssouser=<sso_user_name> -pass=<user_password>-ssopass=<sso_user_password>

Options

- username
Enterprise Manager user name to be used by all subsequent emcli commands when contacting the OMS.

- password
Enterprise Manager user password. If you do not specify this option, you are prompted for the password interactively.

Note:
Providing a password on the command line is insecure and should be avoided.

- ssousername
Enterprise Manager SSO user name to be used by all subsequent emcli commands when contacting the OMS. Provide this value only if Enterprise Manager is configured to use SSO.

- ssopassword
Enterprise Manager SSO password. If you do not specify this option, you are prompted for the password interactively.

Note:
Providing a password on the command line is insecure and should be avoided.

- force
Force a login even if there is an existing session.

Example

The following example shows a login as a different user for a non SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager using newly specified credentials, then a subsequent login using the previous credentials.

emcli logut
emcli login -user=new_user -pass=new_user_pass
emcli <verb-name>
emcli logout
emcli login -user=old_user -pass=old_user_pass

logout

Terminates the existing session with the OMS. This verb and the Login verb are useful when you need to run a particular verb as a different user. After a logout, you need to invoke either the Setup verb or Login verb before invoking any other emcli verb.

Tip:
See also login.

Format

emcli logout

Options

None.

Examples

The following example shows a login as a different user for a non SSO-enabled Enterprise Manager using newly specified credentials, then a subsequent login using the previous credentials.

emcli logut
emcli login -user=new_user -pass=new_user_pass
emcli <verb-name>
emcli logout
emcli login -user=old_user -pass=old_user_pass

-avail_eval_func="my_pkg.my_eval_func"
-timezone_region="CST"

modify_collection_schedule

Modifies the collection schedule of a collection setup for metrics and policies for the specified set of targets. Combining all the metrics, running a script, and collecting the data is referred to as a collection. The collection has various attributes associated with it, such as the collection schedule, upload frequency, and so forth.

Format

emcli modify_collection_schedule
-targetType=ttype
-targetNames=tname1;tname2;tname3...
-collectionName=collname
[-collectionStatus=Enabled or Disabled]
[-freqType={Minute}{Hour}{Day}{Week}{Weekly}{Month}
[-freqValue={any integer value for Minute/Hour/Day/Week}{One or more from        Mon...Sun for Weekly}{One or more from 1;2..31 or Last for Month}
[-preview=Y or N]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional
{ } denotes that you can select one of the options in the series shown

Note: All of the parameters and choices are case-insensitive

Options

- targetType
You must specify a single target type value, and it should be the same as specified in the repository.

Note:
Only individual target types are currently supported.

- targetNames
The target name should be the same as exists in the repository. All of the targets should be the same target type you specified in the targetType parameter. Use a semicolon ( ; ) to separate the names. Changes to the collection schedule will be executed for only valid target name and target type combinations. For example:

host1;host2;host3

- collectionName
The collection name should be exactly the same as exists in the repository or the corresponding collections .xml file present on the Agent.

Access files from the following locations to determine the collection to be modified. Select the desired collection and provide it as input to the emcli utility.

- $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/metadata/<targetType>.xml
This file is shipped as a part of the setup and contains information regarding the metrics for this target type.

- $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/default_collection/<targetType>.xml
This file is shipped as a part of the setup and contains the collections shipped by default.

- $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/collection/<targetType_targetName>.xml
Whenever changes have occurred for any particular target, this file is automatically generated. Collections for user-defined metrics are available in this file.

- collectionStatus
Enables or disables the collection. The default is Enabled. If Disabled, freqType and freqValue are ignored.

- freqType
You can specify one of the following values:

Minute (default) Hour Day Week Weekly Month

For Week, you must specify an integer value as the frequency value. For instance, if you specify freqType='WEEK' and freqValue='2', the collection occurs every two weeks.

For Weekly, the possible values are Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. For instance, if you specify freqType='Weekly' and freqValue='Tue;Thu;Sun', the collection occurs every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday of a week.

The schedule is modified based on your selection. You do not need to specify a value (and the value will be ignored) if the collectionStatus parameter is set to Disabled.

If you use this parameter, you must also use the freqValue parameter.

- freqValue
You can specify one of the following values:

- You must specify an integer value if the freqType is any one of Minute, Hour, Day, or Week. The default value is 5.

- For Weekly, specify one or more choices from Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, and Sun. If the collection occurs on any particular day(s) of the week, you must specify the corresponding value(s) against the Weekly option.

- For Monthly, specify one or more choices from 1...31 or Last. If the collection occurs on any particular date(s) in a month, you must specify the corresponding value(s) against the Monthly option.

You do not need to specify a value (and the value will be ignored) if the collectionStatus parameter is set to Disabled.

If you use this parameter, you must also use the freqType parameter.

- preview
Provides a preview of the changes that would occur if this verb is executed. The default value for this option is Y (Yes), whether you specify the option or not. If you specify N, the changes to the collection schedule are executed for both the repository and Agent.

Examples

The following example changes the collection schedule to collect once every 5 minutes for hosts host1, host2, and host3. DiskActivity is a collection item associated with a host target type. The preview flag is set to Y, so the changes are not executed, but you can see the metrics affected if the changes were implemented.

emcli modify_collection_schedule -targetType="host"
-targetNames="host1;host2;host3" -collectionName="DiskActivity"
-freqType="Minute" -freqValue="5" -preview="Y"

The following example changes the collection schedule to collect once every 15 hours for host host1. Inventory is a collection item associated with a host target type. The preview flag is set to N, so the changes are executed for the associated metrics for both the repository and Agent.

emcli modify_collection_schedule -targetType="host"
-targetNames="host1" -collectionName="Inventory"
-freqType="Hour" -freqValue="15" -preview="N"

The following example changes the collection schedule to collect on Monday and Thursday every week for hosts host1 and host2. Inventory is a collection item associated with a host target type. The preview option is not specified, but since the value is Y whether you specify the option or not, the changes are not executed, but you can see the metrics affected if the changes were implemented.

emcli modify_collection_schedule -targetType="host"
-targetNames="host1;host2" -collectionName="Inventory"
-freqType="Weekly" -freqValue="Mon;Thu"

The following example changes the collection schedule to collect on the 1st, 5th, 23rd, and last day of every month for hosts host1 and host2. Inventory is a collection item associated with a host target type.

emcli modify_collection_schedule -targetType="host"
-targetNames="host1;host2" -collectionName="Inventory"
-freqType="Month" -freqValue="1;5;23;Last"

The following example disables the collection schedule for hosts host1 and host2. Inventory is a collection item associated with a host target type.

emcli modify_collection_schedule -targetType="host"
-targetNames="host1;host2" -collectionName="Inventory"
-collectionStatus="Disabled"

modify_group

An error is not generated when attempting to delete a non-existent target in the group or when attempting to add a target that already exists in the group.

Format

emcli modify_group
-name="name"
[-type=<group>]
[-add_targets="name1:type1;name2:type2;..."]...

The following example modifies group db2_group by adding database database:oracle_database and deleting database database2:oracle_database from the group.

emcli modify_group -name=db2_group
-add_targets=database:oracle_database
-delete_targets=database2:oracle_database

The following example modifies group my_hosts by adding host yourhost.us.oracle.com:host to the group.

emcli modify_group -name=my_hosts
-add_targets=yourhost.us.oracle.com:host

The following example modifies group my_group by adding targets group_a:group and database:oracle_database and deleting the nonexistent target nogroup:group from the group.

The password is actually in a file named at_pwd_file. The input_file argument replaces PWD_FILE with the contents of the at_pwd_file in the credentials argument. The on_agent flag ensures that the changes are propagated to the Management Agent collecting for this target.

emcli modify_target
-name="database"
-type="oracle_database"
-credentials="UserName:newuser;password:PWD_FILE;Role:SYSDBA"
-input_file="PWD_FILE:at_pwd_file"

The port number is being changed to 15067, and the Oracle Home is being changed to /oradb. The administrator (dbsnmp), whose previous default role was normal, is being changed to sysdba. This example also illustrates the use of the input_file to camouflage the credentials. The password is actually in a file named at_pwd_file. The -input_file argument replaces PWD_FILE with the contents of at_pwd_file in the -credentials option.

emcli modify_target
-name="payroll_db"
-type="oracle_database"
-credentials="UserName:Fred;password:PWD_FILE;Role:sysdba"

Note:
To relocate a composite target, you must specify the input_file:dupTargets option, and you must not combine -target_type or -target_name.

Modes

There are two modes for this verb:

- Create Mode
This mode creates a list of targets on the destination Agent that already exists and is monitored by the source Agent in Enterprise Manager. It moves all the collections and blackouts for these targets from the source Agent to the destination Agent, and makes the destination Agent the monitoring Agent for these targets in Enterprise Manager.

emcli relocate_targets -src_agent=<source agent>
-dest_agent=<destination agent>
-input_file=dupTarget:<complete path to file>;
[-ignoreTimeSkew=yes]

Tip:
See the Examples section for more samples of the create mode.

- Exist Mode
In this mode, the target also exists at the destination.

emcli relocate_targets
-src_agent=<source agent target name>
-dest_agent=<destination agent target name>
-target_name=<target name>
-target_type=<target type>
[-ignoreTimeSkew=yes]
[-force=yes]

In all cases, relocation moves all collections and blackouts for these targets from the source Agent to destination Agent, and makes the destination Agent the monitoring Agent for these targets in Enterprise Manager.

Options

- src_agent
Agent currently monitoring the targets. If srcAgent is not known, enter currentOwner as the argument.

- dest_agent
Agent that should monitor the targets.

- target_name
Name of the target that needs to be moved.

Type of target that needs to be moved.

- changed_param
The value of the propName property in the target should be changed to propValue.

- input_file=dupTargets
Takes a file name that contains all the targets and its properties as seen in targets.xml. The contents of the file must have the same format as targets.xml.

To relocate a composite target, you must specify the input_file:dupTargets option, and you must not combine -target_type or -target_name.

- input_file=moveTargets
Takes a file name that contains a list of targets, one per line, in the following format:

<targetType>:<targetName>[;<propName>=<propValue>]*

- copy_from_src
Target properties should be copied from the source Agent

- ignoreTimeSkew
If specified, the target is relocated, ignoring the time skew between the source and destination Agent.

- force
If the command is executed with the -force=yes switch, the composite target is automatically relocated with its related targets. If the command is executed without this switch, an error message appears if it is a composite target.

Examples

Example 1

The following Create Mode example creates a target on the destination Agent by copying the target property content from the source Agent, while allowing some property values to be changed.

emcli relocate_targets -src_agent=<source agent>
-dest_agent=<destination agent>
-target_name=<target name>
-target_type=<target type>

revoke_license_no_validation

Revokes licenses on a set of user-specified packs, or all packs to a set of user-specified targets, or all targets belonging to the input licensable target type. You can only enable or disable database diagnostics and/or tuning packs for 11g database targets through the UI.

Format

emcli revoke_license_no_validation      -type="target_type"      [-targets="tname1;tname2;..."]      [-packs="pack1;pack2;..."]      [-file="file_name"]      [-displayAllMessages]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- type
Target type as it exists in the database. Names cannot contain colons ( : ), semi-colons ( ; ), or any leading or trailing blanks. You can specify only one target type at a time; for example, -type="oracle_database".

- targets
Targets should be specified in the following sequence:

TargetName1;TargetName2;

For example:

-targets="database1;database2;database3;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the target separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the targets option.

- packs
License packs should be specified in the following sequence:

pack1;pack2;

For example:

-packs="db_diag;db_config;"

The semi-colon ( ; ) is the pack separator.

See the "Examples" section below for information about providing arguments for the packs option.

- file
Specify the file name, including the complete path. For example:

-file="/usr/admin1/db_license.txt"

The file should contain the list of targets and packs according to the following cases:

- If you only need to provide a list of targets, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3;

- If you only need to provide a list of packs, use the following format:

packs=db_diag;db_config;

- If you need to provide a list of both targets and packs, use the following format:

targets=database1;database2;database3; packs=db_diag;db_config;

- displayAllMessages
Displays all messages. Only error messages are displayed by default. "=value" is not allowed on the command line.

Examples

Example 1 and Example 2 below revoke licenses of specific packs for specific targets. In order to know which target types and pack names you can pass as arguments, you can use the view named mgmt_license_view to see a list of licensable targets, their target types, and the list of packs licensed on them.

To obtain this information, do the following:

1. Access SQL*Plus with your username and password, using sysman or other user that has access to sysman.mgmt_license_view.

2. Select a distinct pack name from sysman.mgmt_license_view, where:

target_type=<oracle_database>

The following example shows pack names for an Oracle database you specify as the target type.

PACK_NAME
-------------------
db_config
provisioning
db_sadm
db_tuning
db_diag
provisioning_db
db_chgmgt

7 rows selected.

Based on this information, to revoke a license to the database1 target for the db_chgmgt pack, you would enter the following command:

emcli revoke_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database" -targets="database1" -packs="db_chgmgt"

The only limitation of mgmt_license_view is that it only lists the packs for a target type where the pack is granted to at least one target of that type. That is, if the pack is not granted to any target of that type, mgmt_license_view cannot provide any information.

The following example revokes the license of the db_diag and db_config packs to database1, database2, and database3 targets (oracle_database target type):

emcli revoke_license_no_validation -type="oracle_database"           -targets="database1;database2;database3;" -packs="db_diag;db_config;"

secure_agents

Note:
This command is only available with patch 10372083 or patch 10034237 applied.

Re-secures up to 50 Grid Control Management Agents after you create a new Certificate Authority for the Grid Control Management Servers.

Agents can be secured by providing a list of Agent names, a group name, or with an input file. If you provide a group name, Enterprise Manager resolves that to a list of Agents that monitor targets in the group. You can also provide an Agent list with an input file to this EMCLI command. For all of these options, you must either provide a username/password, or the user must have been configured with preferred credentials on Agent targets.

The verb submits a job with the list of Agents and the credntials provided as input, and ouputs the Job Name and Job ID, which can be used track the status of the job. This verb also calculates the list of Agents to resecure by filtering out invalid Agents, insecure Agents, Agents that are down, and Agents that already have an active job execution. This verb also filters out Agents that are already secured by the correct Certifcate Authority, but you can disable this filter by using the -disable_ca_check option.

Note the following additional points about this verb:

- Does not secure Agents that are not already secured. If you want to secure Agents not currently secured, you need to execute the command "emctl secure agent" from the Grid Control Management Agent in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

- Removes down Agents from the list of Agents to be re-secured. emcli requires the Agent to be up and running.

- Removes down Agents from the list of Agents to be re-secured. emcli requires the Agent to be up and running.

- Removes invalid Agents from the list of Agents to be re-secured.

- Removes duplicate Aagents from the list of Agents to be re-secured if an Agent has been provided several times in the list.

- Re-secures up to 50 Agents at one time. If you specify a list of more than 50 Agents to be re-secured, emcli just re-secures the first 50 Agents from the list and ignores the Agents with a rank greater than 50 in the list.

- Filters out an Agent that is already busy running a job execution.

- Filters out an Agent to be re-secured if the Agent is already secured with the latest Certificate. However, you can remove this restriction with the -disable_ca_check flag.

- Needs to connect to the Grid Control Management Agent with either the preferred credentials set at the Agent level in the Grid Control repository, or with the user name and password provided.

- If you execute this command with the option -use_pref_creds, emcli filters out from the list of Agents to be re-secured all of the Agents with preferred credentials not set or incorrectly set.

- If you execute this command with the -username and -password options, emcli filters out from the list of Agents to be re-secured all of the Agents that cannot be contacted with the user name and password provided.

Format

emcli secure_agents        [-agt_names="agt1;agt2;..."] [-agt_names_file="<file>"]         [-group_name="group_name"]        [-use_pref_creds]         [-username="username"]         [-password="password"]         [-disable_ca_check]

Options

- agt_names
Semicolon-separated list of Agent names.

- agt_names_file
Absolute path of the file containing the list of Agent names, each on a new line.

- group_name
Identifies the list of Agents to secure. Enterprise Manager resolves the list of Agents that monitor (not just members of the group) the list of targets in the group.

- use_pref_creds
Use preferred credentials configured for the Agent to execute the secureAgent job.

- username
User name to execute the secureAgent job at the Agent.

- password
Password to execute the secureAgent job at the Agent.

- disable_ca_check
Flag to disable the check to verify if the Agents are secured with the latest Certificate Authority.

Examples

The following example assumes that the Grid Control Management Agents are installed with the user oracle on all hosts with the same password.

emcli secure_agents -agt_names="ushost1.mycompany.com:3872; ushost2.mycompany.com:3872;ushost1.mycompany.com:3872" -username="oracle" -password="mypwd"
Summary :
Number of valid agents provided for secure : 2, Filtered : 0, Selected : 2
Details :
Number of agents provided for secure (input) : 3
After merging and removing invalid/duplicate agents : 2

Job "SECUREAGENTS JOB 2010-Dec-15 16:08:45" submitted for securing 2 agents
Job ID: DE404669C52F43AC805151306F4B138D
Execution ID: 47225EF8C9A8455FBDFB817BF8722FFF

The following example re-secures the Agents, even if they are already registered to the latest certificate.

emcli secure_agents  -agt_names="ushost1.mycompany.com:3872;ushost2.mycompany.com:3872; ushost3.mycompany.com:3872" -username="oracle" -disable_ca_check

-propertyName='timeout' -propertyValue='30000'

set_target_property_value

Sets the value of a target property for a specified target. Any prior values of the target property are overwritten. When assigning values to the Oracle-provided target properties, use the English names of these target properties:

Comment, Deployment Type, Line of Business, Location, Contact

Format

emcli set_target_property_value      -property_records="target_name:target_type:property_name:property_value"      [-separator=property_records="sep_string"]      [-subseparator=property_records="subsep_string"]      [-input_file="parameter_tag:file_path"]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- property_records
List of property records. The following parts comprise each property record:

<target_name>:<target_type>:<property_name>:property_value>

- target_name — Target name of the target for which you want to update the property.

- target_type — Target type of the target.

- property_name — Name of the property whose value you want to update. Property names are case sensitive.

- property_value — Value to be assigned/updated for the property.

- separator
When specifying multiple property records, use the separator string delimiter as a delimiter between property records. The default separator delimiter is ";".

- subseperator
String delimiter to be used between parts of a property record. The default subseparator delimiter is ":".

- input_file
Used in conjunction with the -property_records option, this option enables you to provide the property records in a file. This option specifies a mapping between a tag and a local file path. The tag is specified in lieu of property records. The tag cannot contain colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ) .

Examples

The following example sets the 'Owner Name' property to Jane Smith for the database test_database.

emcli set_target_property_value
-property_records="test_database:oracle_database:Owner Name:Jane Smith"

The following example sets the Owner property to Jane Smith for the database test_db and also sets the Asset Number property to 100 for the database test_db1.

emcli set_target_property_value
-property_records="test_db:oracle_database:Owner:Jane Smith;            test_db1:oracle_database:Asset Number:100"

The following example takes the input of the property records from the specified file /temp/rec_file.

emcli set_target_property_value
-property_records="REC_FILE" -input_file="REC_FILE:/temp/rec_file"

The file /temp/rec_file would contain entries such as:

test_db:oracle_database:Owner:Jane Smith;test_db1:oracle_database:Asset Number:100

For the database test_db, this sets the Owner property to Jane Smith. For the database test_db1, this sets the Asset Number property to 100.

emcli set_target_property_value
-property_records="test_db@oracle_database@Owner@             Jane Smith,test_db1@oracle_database@AssetNumber@100"

For the database test_db, this sets the Owner property to Jane Smith. For the database test_db1, this sets the Asset Number property to 100. The separator used within the records is "," and the subseparator is "@" .

-metricColumn="timing"
-occurrences=1
-warningThres=100000

setup

Configures EM CLI to work with a specific management server.

The default mode stores the credentials, which is inherently insecure because of backward compatibility reasons. For a secure setup, you need to specify the noautologin option. See noautologin in the Options section for more information.

Format

emcli setup
-url="http[s]://host:port/em/"
-username=<EM Console Username>
[-password=<EM Console Password>]
[-ssousername=<EM SSO Username>]
[-ssopassword=<EM SSO Password>]
[-licans=yes|no]
[-dir=<local emcli configuration directory>]
[-trustall]
[-novalidate]
[-noautologin]
[-custom_attrib_file=<Custom attribute file path>]
[-nocertvalidate]

[ ] denotes that the parameter is optional

Options

- url="http[s]://host:port/em/"
URL of the Oracle management server (OMS). host specifies the host of the OMS. port specifies the listening port of the OMS. Both http and https protocols are supported. (https is recommended for security reasons).

- username
Enterprise Manager user name to be used by all subsequent emcli commands when contacting the OMS.

- password
Enterprise Manager user password. If you do not specify this option, you are prompted for the password interactively.

Note:
Providing a password on the command line is insecure and should be avoided.

- ssousername
SSO user name to be used by all subsequent emcli commands when contacting the OMS. Its value must be provided only if Enterprise Manager is configured to use SSO. When the SSO user is not the Enterprise Manager user, you must provide both the username and ssousername. For example:

emcli setup -username=myusername -ssousername=myssouser -url=https://abc.us.oracle.com:4566/em/

- ssopassword
SSO user password. If you do not specify this option, you are prompted for the password interactively.

Note:
Providing a password on the command line is insecure and should be avoided.

- licans
Indicates whether the license is accepted or not accepted by the user. Specify yes to accept the license, or specify no to not accept the license.

- dir
Directory where an emcli configuration directory will be created. This directory must be on a locally mounted file system. A warning and confirmation is issued for an HTTPS URL if the directory is not heuristically identified as such (unless you specify trustall). The directory can be relative to the working directory where setup is called, or it can be absolute. This option defaults to the user's home directory.

- trustall
Automatically accepts any server certificate from the OMS, which results in lower security.

- novalidate
Does not authenticate the Enterprise Manager user name or SSO user name against the OMS. Assume the given user name is valid.

- noautologin
Set up the emcli client in this mode. If used, secure mode is implemented, which does not store any Enterprise Manager or SSO password on the client disk. The credentials are provided once at the time of setup after which a session is established between the client and OMS. All the subsequent verbs will use this session. Inactivity or an explicit logout (using the Logout verb) terminates this session, and a re-setup or explicit login (using the Login verb) is required before invoking any new verb.

In the default case, you do not need to explicitly log in when the session expires. Enterprise Manager user or SSO credentials are stored on the client system, and the client implicitly logs in again using these credentials when the session expires. No user intervention is required in case of session expiration.

- custom_attrib_file
Path name of a file containing Audit Custom Attribute values. This option is required when the OMS is configured for Audit Custom Attributes. If you do not provide custom_attrib_file, you are prompted to enter the values of the custom attributes.

The file can contain up to three lines, each containing the description of one custom attribute. Each line should be of the form:

<attr-name>#<attr-displayname>#<isMandatory>#<attr-value>

- # — Field separator.

- attr-name — Name of the attribute.

- attr-displayname — Display name of the attribute.

- isMandatory — 1 if the attribute is mandatory, otherwise 0.

- attr-value — Value of the custom attribute.

- nocertvalidate
Does not validate the host name in the SSL Certificate that the OMS provides.

Examples

emcli setup -url=http://myworkstation.us.oracle.com:7770/em -username=sysman

To configure the EM CLI Client to function with multiple OMSs by implementing multiple setups, do the following:

1. Set up the EM CLI client for OMS1 at location dir1:

emcli setup -dir=<dir1> -url=<Url of OMS1> -user=<EM Username for OMS1>

2. Set up the EM CLI client for OMS2 at location dir2:

emcli setup -dir=<dir2> -url=<Url of OMS1> -user=<EM Username for OMS2>

3. Set the environment variable EMCLI_STATE_DIR to point to the setup directory for OMS1:

setenv EMCLI_STATE_DIR <dir1>

This sets the EM CLI Client to function with OMS1.

4. Set the environment variable EMCLI_STATE_DIR to point to the setup directory for OMS2:

setenv EMCLI_STATE_DIR <dir2>

This sets the EM CLI Client to function with OMS2.

Options

- job
name represents the name for the submitted job.

type represents the type of submitted job. The supported job types are OSCommand and SQLScript, which are already pre-defined in the Enterprise Manager job system. The specified job type determines which targets and which parameters can be specified for the -targets and -parameters arguments.

- targets
A list of target-name, target-type pairs. The newly submitted job will apply to this list of Enterprise Manager targets. All targets must be of the same type. The target list must not contain more than one element if the element's target type is group. The OSCommand jobs are allowed to be submitted against targets of type host, oracle_database, and group (if it contains host targets). The SQLScript jobs are allowed to be submitted against targets of type oracle_database and group.

- parameters
List of name-value pairs that represent the parameters required by the job type for this job. The OSCommand jobs support the parameters named command, args, os_script, username, password, and credential_set_name. command is the only required parameter.

The SQLScript jobs support the parameters named sql_script, db_username, db_password, db_role, host_username, host_password, and credential_set_name. The required parameter is sql_script.

The credential_set_name parameter refers to the set name of the preferred credentials stored in the Enterprise Manager repository. For each target type, several credential sets exist:

- HostCredsNormal — Default unprivileged credential set for a host target

- HostCredsPriv — Privileged credential set for a host target

- DBHostCreds — Host credential set for an oracle_database target

- DBCredsNormal — Default normal credential set for an oracle_database target

- DBCredsSYSDBA: sysdba credential set for an oracle_database target

You can only specify the credential_set_name parameter when the override credential parameters such as [db_|host_]username and [db_|host_]password are not present. If provided, the override credential parameters must be specified fully for each job type. For the OSCommand type, username and password must be specified together. For the SQLScript type, db_username, db_password, db_role, host_username, and host_password must be present.

- input_file
Used in conjunction with the -parameters option, this option enables you to store specific job parameter values, such as passwords or SQL scripts, in a separate file. The -input_file option specifies a mapping between a tag and a local file path. The tag is specified in lieu of specific job parameter values of the -parameters option. The tag must not contain colons ( : ) or semi-colons ( ; ).

- desc
Job description.

- schedule
Job schedule. The frequency argument determines which other arguments are required or optional.

- schedule=frequency
The type of job schedule (default is once).

- schedule=start_time
Start date and time of the job. The default value is the current date/time. The format of the value is "yy-MM-dd HH:mm". For example: "2007-09-25 18:34".

- schedule=end_time
Last date and time of the job. No job executions are scheduled after this date and time. When frequency is weekly, monthly, or yearly, only the date portion is used. When frequency is interval or once, the date and time are considered. The format of the value is "yy-MM-dd HH:mm". For example: "2007-09-25 18:34".

- schedule=repeat
Time between successive start times when the job is scheduled. The letter following the number value represents the time units: "m" is minutes, "h" is hours, "d" is days, "w" is weeks.

- schedule=months
List of integer month values in the range 1-12. Each value must have a corresponding "day" value, to fully specify (month,day) pairs that indicate the days of the year the job is scheduled.

- schedule=days
When frequency is weekly, this is a list of integer day-of-week values in the range 1-7 (1 is Sunday). When frequency is monthly, this is a list of integer day-of-month values in the range 1-31 or -1 (last day of month). When frequency is yearly, this is a list of integer day-of-month values in the range 1-31 or -1 (last day of month); in this case, the month is taken as the corresponding month value for each (month,day) pair.

- schedule=tzoffset
Value of the timezone. When you do not specify the tzinfo argument or it is repository, the timezone value is the repository time zone. In this case, you cannot specify the tzoffset argument. Otherwise, the tzoffset argument is required. When you set tzinfo to specified, the tzoffset argument specifies the offset in hours and minutes between GMT and the time zone. When you set tzinfo is set to target, the tzoffset argument specifies an integer index (the first is 1) into the list of targets passed as arguments. For example, for a tzoffset setting of 1, the timezone of the first target specified in the -add_targets option is used.

Note that the time zone is applied to the start time and the end time of the job schedule. The time zones associated with each target are not considered when scheduling the job (except that when you set tzinfo to target, the specified target's timezone is used for the job schedule).

- schedule=tzregion
Time zone region to use. When you specify the tzinfo option, this argument determines which time zone to use for the job schedule. Otherwise, it is ignored. The default is GMT.

- schedule=tzinfo
The type of timezone. The tzinfo argument is used in conjunction with tzoffset. Available timezone types are: specified (offset between GMT and the target timezone), target (timezone of the specified target), and repository (repository timezone — default setting when tzinfo is not specified). See -schedule=tzoffset for more information.

- noheader
Displays tabular information without column headers.

- script
This option is equivalent to -format="name:script".

- format
Format specification (default is -format="name:pretty").

- format="name:pretty" prints the output table in a readable format not intended to be parsed by scripts.

- format="name:script" sets the default column separator to a tab and the default row separator to a newline. The column and row separator strings can be specified to change these defaults.

- format="name:csv" sets the column separator to a comma and the row separator to a newline.

- format=column_separator:"column_sep_string" column-separates the Verb output by <column_sep_string>. Rows are separated by the newline character.

- row_separator:"row_sep_string" row-separates the Verb output by <row_sep_string>. Rows are separated by the tab character.

These addresses are first added to the preferences of the assignto user (duplicates are ignored) before being assigned to the notification rule. The email addresses are added only if the current user has the privilege to subscribe the assignto user to the rule.

- fail_if_no_mail_server
A message appears if the outgoing mail server (SMTP) has not been set up. When you specify the option -fail_if_no_mail_server is specified, this condition is an error and prevents the subscribe from occurring; otherwise, this condition is a warning that does not affect the success of this command.

Examples

The following example subscribes the current user to the rule "Agent Upload Problems" using the current user's email addresses for notification.
