Overview

Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI) is a command line utility available for power users in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) that enables you to perform most of the console-based operations. It enables you to access Cloud Control functionality from text-based consoles (shells and command windows) for a variety of operating systems.

Using EM CLI you can:

  • Perform various command line operations such as monitoring and managing targets, jobs, running deployment procedures, patching Enterprise Manager targets, and so on.

  • Use the functions available with EM CLI called verbs, to build your custom scripts on various programming environments like Operating System shell, Perl, Python, and so on. This in turn allows you to closely integrate Oracle Enterprise Manager functionality with your own enterprise business process.

  • Carry out operations with the same security and confidentiality as the Cloud Control console.
