Limitations of Using Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface

Following are the limitations of using EM CLI for running the deployment procedures:

  • You cannot add or edit steps and phases using EM CLI commands. To do so, you must log in to Cloud Control, and follow the steps described in the section Section 33.2.1.

  • You cannot define new variables to be used in the deployment procedures through EM CLI, this can be done only through the Cloud Control UI. For more information about procedure variables, see Section 32.3.2.

  • You cannot track the detailed execution info (such as failures) of an instance through EM CLI, which is possible through the Cloud Control UI.

  • To set the My Oracle Support preferred credentials, you must log in to the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. There is no command line option to do so.
