Backup Command Options

Use the following command line options when issuing the backup script in the following sections to specify your database and backup destination:

--all —(Default) Backs up the core database and all reporting databases. This flag is used if no other is entered.

--core —Backs up the core database only.

-d —Specifies the directory to store the backed up file.

--excludePlugins —Exclude archived Plugin zip files from the resulting backup file. By default, the resulting backup file contains all product plugin installation zip files which were previously uploaded to SDM. You can override this behavior by entering this command.

-ep —Same as the --excludePlugins command line option above.

--report —Backs up the reporting oracle database and repository.

--ocsdmdw —Backs up the ocsdmdw oracle database.

Note:

You are prompted to select the backup directory upon running a backup script. The default directory can be found at: <Installation directory>/../DatabaseBackup
