import_replays

Imports the replays contained in a directory. An XML input file is required that describes the path of the directory containing replay data files; the database target to be used to load replays; and, optionally, replay names to import only specific replays into the Enterprise Manager repository.

Sample XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <cliImportData xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/sysman/db/dbreplay">
        <targetName>database</targetName>
        <targetType>oracle_database</targetType>
        <dbHostName>host.example.com</dbHostName>
        <dbCredRef>
          <credName>testDB121</credName>
          <credOwner>sysman</credOwner>
        </dbCredRef>
        <dbHostCredRef>
          <credName>testDBHost121</credName>
          <credOwner>sysman</credOwner>
        </dbHostCredRef>
        <directoryPath>/storage/dbr/copyDir_task4Caps</directoryPath>
        <consolidatedDirectory>true</consolidatedDirectory>
        <replays>
          <taskName>myTask</taskName>
          <replay>
            <nameInEm>myNewConsTrial_1</nameInEm>
            <nameInTarget>myNewConsTrial_1</nameInTarget>
          </replay>
        </replays>
      </cliImportData>

Format - Standard Mode

emcli import_replays
		[-input_file="template:<input file path>"]
		[-all]
		[-format="[name:<pretty|script|csv>];[column_separator:"column_sep_string"];[row_separator:"row_sep_string"]"]

[ ]  indicates that the parameter is optional.

Format - Interactive or Script Mode

import_replays(
		[input_file="template:<input file path>"]
		[,all=True/False]
		[,format="[name:<pretty|script|csv>];[column_separator:"column_sep_string"];[row_separator:"row_sep_string"]"]
		)

[ ]  indicates that the parameter is optional.

Options

• input_file

  Fully qualified path to an XML file containing parameters for the verb.

• all

  Imports all replays into the Enterprise Manager repository. No names need to be specified in the XML input file unless there is a naming conflict with a preexisting Enterprise Manager replay.

• format

  Specifies how the output is formatted. The default value is "name:pretty". You can use the parameter in the following ways:

  • -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 in the output. You can override the column and row separator strings with your own values.

  • -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" Sets the default column separator to a comma and the default row separator to a newline in the output.

Exit Codes

0 if successful. A non-zero value indicates that verb processing was unsuccessful.

Output

Output Columns: EM Entity Name, Entity Name, Database Name, Start Time, Import Status

Examples

Example 1 - Standard Mode

The following example imports all replays from a directory into the Enterprise Manager repository.

emcli import_replays	   -all	   -input_file=template:/storage/xml/importReplay_capture121_5Mins.xml

Example 2 - Interactive or Script Mode

The following example imports all replays from a directory into the Enterprise Manager repository.

import_replays(all=True,	    input_file="template:/storage/xml/importReplay_capture121_5Mins.xml"	  )

Example 3 - Standard Mode

The following example imports replays from a directory into the Enterprise Manager repository. Only those replays specifically named in the XML input file are imported.

emcli import_replays	   -input_file=template:/storage/xml/importReplay_capture121_5Mins.xml

Example 4 - Interactive or Script Mode

The following example imports replays from a directory into the Enterprise Manager repository. Only those replays specifically named in the XML input file are imported.

import_replays(input_file="template:/storage/xml/importReplay_capture121_5Mins.xml"	  )
