22.4 Performing Software Library Tasks Using EM CLI Verbs or in Graphical Mode

Starting with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 2 (12.1.0.2), command line utility has been introduced for Software Library users in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control that enables you to perform some of the console-based Software Library operations using the text-based consoles.

The following table describes both approaches to perform some of the Software Library tasks:

• Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI)

• Enterprise Manager Graphical User Interface (EM GUI)

Note:

For more information about the syntax and usage of the EM CLI verbs described in Table 22-3,along with workflow examples, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Lifecycle Management Administrator’s Guide.

Removing a Software Library storage location	remove_swlib_storage_location	Removing (and Migrating) Software Library Storage Location
Modifying a Software Library entity	update_swlib_entity	Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Uploading files to a Software Library entity	upload_swlib_entity_files	Creating Entities Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Modifying a Software Library OMS Agent storage location to change the associated OMS Host and the credential for accessing the location.	switch_swlib_oms_agent_storage	NA
Verifying the files uploaded to software library, and reporting the missing files in the storage locations. This action is typically initiated when some provisioning/patching/deployment activity fails due to missing file in the associated storage location.	verify_swlib	NA
Staging one or more files associated with an entity revision available in the Software Library to a file system location on a host target.	stage_swlib_entity_files	Staging Entities
Staging one or more files associated with an entity revision in the Software Library to the local file system of a host not monitored by an EM Agent.	stage_swlib_entity_files_local	Staging Entities
Creating an entity of the Directive type in the Software Library. On successful creation, the entity revision appears in the specified folder on the Software Library Home page.	create_swlib_directive_entity	Creating Directives
Modifying an entity of the Directive type in the Software Library. A new revision of the entity is created by default. Changing only the description or attribute values do not create a new revision, and such changes are visible across all existing revisions of the entity	update_swlib_directive_entity	Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities

Exporting files of Software Library entities to be imported on a cache node as cached files.	export_swlib_cache_files	Exporting and Importing Files for Cache Nodes
Importing Software Library entity files from a compressed file to a cache node.	import_swlib_cache_files	Exporting and Importing Files for Cache Nodes
Invoking resynchronize for one or all cache nodes.	resync_swlib_cache	Synchronizing the Cache Nodes
