Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0 User's Guide

Export (-exp) Command

The export command allows you to export Profiles or Inventories to XML files. An Sun Update Connection – Enterprise object in XML format is easy to read and edit, and can be manipulated as a file.

Parameter

  • -ent entity-type Specify the type of the entity. Valid values are Profile or Inventory.

  • -f pathname Specify the full path name of the XML file to which to export.

  • -T list Specify a comma-separated list of profiles to export or a list of hosts whose inventories are to be exported. If not specified, all objects of type -ent are exported.

Syntax

uce_cli -exp -ent ( "Profile" | "Inventory" ) -f pathname.xml [ -T "profile,profile,..." | "hostname,hostname,..." ] -u username -p password

Example

uce_cli -exp -ent "Profile" -f /home/stuff/httpSverProfile.xml -u admin -p 123

Example

uce_cli -exp -ent "Inventory" -f /home/stuff/myHost.xml -u admin -p 123

Example

uce_cli -exp -ent "Inventory" -T "lnx13,lnx10" -f /home/stuff/rpmsOf13-10.xml -u admin -p 123

To get valid values for -T, use the -lp command to see profiles, or the -lah to see hosts.

Be aware that as this command creates a file outside of Sun Update Connection – Enterprise, the success of the command is dependent upon your user permissions: the machine user executing the command has to have permissions to write to the path give in the -f parameter.
