Use

When you call the Database Manager CLI, you can transfer DBM options, each with a maximum of one DBM command.

You can enter additional parameters for DBM options. The parameters are explained in the descriptions of the respective DBM option.

You can also enter additional command options for the DBM command. These command options are explained in the descriptions of the respective DBM command.

Input help is also provided for the DBM commands.

For information about the format of the return values for DBM commands, see Reply Format.

Syntax

dbmcli [<dbm_options>] [<dbm_command> [command_options]]

Note

If you use DBM options with parameters, mark the beginning of the following DBM command with the option –c (Indicate as DBM Command: -c).
By doing so, you prevent the Database Manager program interpreting the beginning of the DBM command as a parameter of the previous DBM option.

Example

Logging on to the Database Manager CLI as operator DBM with password DBM, displaying the operating state of the database instance HOTELDB:

dbmcli –d HOTELDB –u DBM,DBM db_state

OK
State
ONLINE
