Use with WLST: Online or Offline

5.10.1.1 Description

Archives runtime instances based on specified criteria. Optionally archives file system data. In the event of an unsupported operation, the command returns a WLSTException.

Before you can run this command, you must create an MFT archive directory on the database server using the following SQL commands:

CREATE DIRECTORY MFT_DIR AS path;
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY MFT_DIR TO MFT_STB;

For more information about the database and the schema owner (MFT_STB), see Installing and Configuring Managed File Transfer.

5.10.1.2 Syntax

archiveInstanceData(arguments)

arcData(arguments)
Argument Definition 
archiveFileName

Name of the runtime instance archive file to be saved to the defined MFT archive directory. The default extension is .dmp. This argument is required.

 
startDate

Timestamp in format dd-MM-yyyy H:m:s:S. Default is no date and time specified. Expressions are not supported.

 
endDate

Timestamp in format dd-MM-yyyy H:m:s:S. Default is the current date and time. Expressions are not supported.

 
batchId

Identifier in the output of a previous archiveInstanceData command. Default input is an empty string. Use to rerun a tested or failed archiveInstanceData from the point of failure or to run archivePayloads.

 
status

Status: * for all statuses, C for COMPLETED, F for FAILED, or A for ACTIVE (in progress). Default is C. You can specify multiple comma-separated statuses.

 
testMode

Whether what to archive is tested but not archived: TRUE or FALSE. Default is TRUE. Therefore, to actually archive runtime instances, you must explicitly set testMode=FALSE.

 
comments

Comment string. Default is an empty string.

 
runInSync

Whether to run immediately, synchronously, and return (TRUE), or run in the background, asynchronously, allowing execution of other WLST commands (FALSE). Default is FALSE.

 
fsArchiveFolderPath

Path to the folder where the payload archive .zip file is saved. Default is an empty string, which means no payloads are archived. This is independent of the runtime instance archive file and the MFT archive directory.

5.10.1.3 Example

The following example runs in test mode (does not archive anything) and in the background (does not block WLST commands while running) for all instances with status COMPLETED, and provides statistics such as how many instances or payloads would be archived.

archiveInstanceData()

Here is an example of the output:

Total no. of instances to be archived: 105.
Total no. of payloads to be archived: 105.
Nothing has been archived as test mode was TRUE.
To archive these records, run the same command
by passing batch id 546781 and test mode as FALSE.

The following example runs in test mode and in the background for instances before March 31st, 2013 with status COMPLETED, and provides archive statistics. Note that when the startDate argument is omitted, the endDate argument must be explicitly labeled.

archiveInstanceData(endDate='31-03-2013 00:00:00:00')

The following example archives instances from February 1st, 2013 to March 31st, 2013 with status COMPLETED to the file mft.dmp, and provides archive statistics. Note that when the startDate and endDate arguments are both included, labels may be omitted.

archiveInstanceData(archiveFileName='mft.dmp','01-02-2013 00:00:00:00', '31-03-2013 00:00:00:00', testMode='FALSE')

The following example archives instances from February 1st, 2013 to March 31st, 2013 with status ACTIVE or FAILED to the file mft.dmp, and provides archive statistics. Because runInSync='TRUE' is specified, the archive occurs immediately and blocks further WLST commands until completion. Because runFSArchive='TRUE' is specified, file system data is also archived.

archiveInstanceData(archiveFileName='mft.dmp','01-02-2013 00:00:00:00', '31-03-2013 00:00:00:00', testMode='FALSE', status='A,F',
runInSync='TRUE', fsArchiveFolderPath='2013-01-02-MftArchive')

5.11.2.4 Example

The following example purges file system data corresponding to the runtime instance data previously purged by a purgeInstanceData command with the batch ID 546781. Detailed audits of purged files are performed, and the purge runs in the background.

purgePayloads(batchId='546781')

The following example purges file system data corresponding to the runtime instance data previously purged by a purgeInstanceData command with the batch ID 546781. Detailed audits of purged files are not performed, and the purge runs in the background.

purgePayloads(batchId='546781', detailedAudit='FALSE')

The following example purges file system data corresponding to the runtime instance data previously purged by a purgeInstanceData command with the batch ID 546781. Detailed audits of purged files are performed, and the purge occurs immediately.

purgePayloads(batchId='546781', detailedAudit='TRUE', runInSync='TRUE')

5.12 Setting System MBean Properties for MFT WLST Commands

Some MFT WLST commands have associated properties you can set to refine the operations they perform.

The steps for this process are:

  1. Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager console.

  2. In the Target Navigation pane, expand the Weblogic Domain node.

  3. Select the domain on which the Oracle WebLogic Server managed server dedicated to Oracle Managed File Transfer is installed.

    For example, the domain might be soainfra or base_domain.

  4. Right-click on the domain and select System MBean Browser.

  5. Click the Find icon.

  6. Type MFTConfig in the MBean Name text box. Press Enter.

    The Application Defined MBeans: MFTConfig: mft page appears.

  7. Click the Operations tab.

  8. Click addProperty.

    The Operation: addProperty page appears.

  9. Type the property name in the key text box. Type the property value in the value text box. Typing a comment is optional. Click Invoke.

  10. To verify that the property has been added:

    1. Click Return.

    2. Click the Attributes tab.

    3. Click Properties.

      The Attribute: Properties page appears. The property you added should be listed.
