Viewing Instant Clones Using the Command Line Interface

Use XML to view a list of Oracle instant clones. Run the operation from the command line, or automate configuration by combining operations in a script.

Use this command to list the Oracle instant clones, which are:

• In the CommCell.

• Configured for a specific client.

• Configured for a specific Oracle database instance.

You can include the XML parameters in the xml file, or you can specify them on the command line when they frequently change. For more information on command line parameters and XML elements, see Command Line - Syntax.

Procedure

1. On the Oracle Agent host, run the qlogin command to log on to the CommServe computer.

2. Download the ViewClones_Template.xml file to the computer where you will run the command.

3. Open the ViewClones_Template.xml file, add your specific parameters, and save the file.

   For information on supported instance XML parameters, see Available XML Parameters for Oracle Instance Configuration.

4. On the command line, go to Software_Installation_Directory/Base and type the command.

    
   qoperation execute -af ViewClones_Template.xml -appName 'oracle' -clientName 'client_name' -instanceName 'dbname'

5. Run the qlogout command to log off the CommServe computer.
