emcli clone_database_home -input_file="dest_properties:file_path" -list_exclude_files="files_to_exclude" -isSwLib="true|false" -isRac="true|false" -tryftp_copy="true|false" -jobname="name_of_cloning_job" [-home_name="home_when_creating_RAC_cluster"] [-home_location="location_of_home_when_creating_RAC_cluster"] [-prescripts="script_name_to_execute"] [-run_prescripts_as_root="true|false"] [-postscripts="script_to_execute"] [-run_postscripts_as_root="true|false"] [-rootscripts="script_name_to_execute"] [-swlib_component ="path:path_to_component;version:rev"] [-source_params="TargetName:name;HomeLoc:loc;HomeName:name; ScratchLoc:scratch_dir_location" [-jobdesc="description"] [ ] indicates that the parameter is optional
Options
-
input_file=dest_properties
File containing information regarding the targets. Each line in the file corresponds to information regarding one destination.
Format if cloning a database (isRac is false):
Destination Host Name1;Destination Home Loc; Home Name; Scratch Location;
Format if cloning a RAC cluster (isRac is true):
Host Name;Node Name;Scratch Location;
For more information about the input_file option, see -input_file Syntax Guidelines.
-
list_exclude_files
Comma-separated list of files to exclude. This is not required if the source is software lib. "*" can be used as a wild card.
-
isSwLib
Specifies whether the source is an Oracle Home database or Software Library.
-
isRac
Specifies whether cloning in RAC mode. If the isRac option is true, a RAC cluster is created. If the isRac option is true, the home name and location of the RAC cluster are needed.
-
tryftp_copy
Try FTP to copy or not. You should set the FTP copy option to false when using EM CLI from the command line.
-
jobname
Name of the cloning job.
-
home_name
Name of the home to use when creating a RAC cluster.
-
home_location
Location of the home to use when creating a RAC cluster.
-
prescripts
Path of the script to execute.
Note:
Double-quoted options can be passed using an escape (\) sequence. For example:
prescripts=" <some value here>=\"some value here\" "
-
run_prescripts_as_root

-
postscripts
Path of the script to execute.
-
run_postscripts_as_root
Run postscripts as "root". By default it is false.
-
rootscripts
Path of the script to execute. You can use the job system environment variables (
%oracle_home%
,%perl_bin%)
to specify script locations. -
swlib_component
Path to the Software Library to be cloned. "isSwLib" must be true in this case.
-
source_params
Source Oracle home info. "isSwLib" must be false in this case.
-
jobdesc
Description of the job. If not specified, it is automatically generated.
Example
emcli clone_database_home -input_file="dest_properties:clonedestinations" -list_exclude_files="*.log,*.dbf,sqlnet.ora,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora" -isSwLib="false" -isRac="false" -tryftp_copy="false" -jobname="clone database home" -prescripts="/home/joe/myScript" -run_prescripts_as_root="true" -rootscripts="%oracle_home%/root.sh" -source_params="TargetName:host.domain.com;HomeLoc=/oracle/database1; HomeName=OUIHome1;ScratchLoc=/tmp"
Passing Variables Through EM CLI
When working with variables such as %perlbin%
or %oracle_home%
, EM CLI passes variable values from the current local environment instead of the variables themselves. To pass variables through an EM CLI command, as might be the case when using the -prescripts
or -postscripts
options, you can place the EM CLI command in a batch file and replace all occurrences of %
with %%
.
