Prepare to Use the Catalog Utility

The catalog utility is installed in the following location:

ORACLE_HOME/clients/bipublisher

Configure the Environment

You must configure each environment in which you run the catalog utility.

1. Set the environment variables to the values in the following list:

   • path = ($HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/bin $path)

   • BIP_LIB_DIR = $HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/lib

   • BIP_CLIENT_CONFIG = $HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/config

   • JAVA_HOME = $HOME/java/jdk1.6.0_18

   The following example shows setting the environment variables for C-shell:

   % set path = ($HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/bin $path)
   % setenv BIP_LIB_DIR $HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/lib
   % setenv BIP_CLIENT_CONFIG $HOME/BIPCatalogUtil/config
   % setenv JAVA_HOME $HOME/java/jdk1.6.0_18
   

2. Edit xmlp-client-config.xml. This configuration file is located under the BIPCatalogUtil/config directory.

   Specify the Publisher instance URL ("bipurl") and the user name and password of the Publisher instance from which you must export or to which you must import.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
   <properties>
           <comment>BIP Server Information</comment>
       <entry key="bipurl">http://sta00XXX.example.com:14001/xmlpserver/</entry>
           <entry key="username">OPERATIONS</entry>
       <entry key="password">welcome</entry>
   </properties>
   

   If you do not want to store this information in the configuration file, then at the time of import/export you can also set the bipurl, username, and password as parameters in the command line to overwrite values defined in xmlp-client-config.xml.
