Run the prunerpd Utility

The location of the prunerpd utility is:

BI_DOMAIN/bitools/bin

Syntax

The prunerpd utility accepts the following parameters:

prunerpd -s source_rpd [-p rpd_password] -f input_file -o output_rpd -l output_log_file -e error_log_file [-8]

Where:

source_rpd is the name and location of the target repository file.

rpd_password is the repository password for the source repository.

The password argument is optional. If you don't provide a password argument, you're prompted to enter a password when you run the command. To minimize the risk of security breaches, Oracle recommends that you don't provide a password argument either on the command line or in scripts. The password argument is supported for backward compatibility only, and is removed in a future release. For scripting purposes, you can send the password through standard input.

input_file is the input file name, in text format, that contains the list of repository objects to remove. Separate multiple file names by spaces. Enclose spaces within a filename with double quotes (" ").

output_rpd is the name and location of the output repository file, also known as the pruned repository.

output_log_file is the name and location of the output log file. All actions performed on the repository are written to this file, including descriptions. The output log file is in XML format. Other messages such as progress indicators are sent to the standard output stream.

error_log_file is the name and location of the error log file. The pruning utility writes exceptions and errors to this log. The error log file is in XML format. Other errors are sent to the standard output error stream.

-8 specifies UTF-8 encoding.

Use -H or run .sh without any parameters to display the help content.
