Generate the Command Line Script from the CommCell Console
In addition to the parameter values provided in the template xml file, if you want to include additional options for the backup, you can do so by selecting the required options from the CommCell Console and generate the command line xml script for the restore operation.
For more information on how to generate the script, see Save as Script Overview.
Perform the Backup
-
From Command prompt, navigate to <Software_Installation_Directory>/Base and run the following command:
qlogin -cs <commserve name> -u <user name>
-
Navigate to the location where the .xml file is saved and execute the saved .xml script using the qoperation execute command.
qoperation execute -af backup.xml -appName 'Informix Database' -clientName xxxxx -instanceName instanceName -backupsetName default -subclientName xxxxx -backupLevel FULL
-
Verify the status of the job using the following command:
qlist job -j jobID -
Once the job completes, log off from the CommServe using the qlogout command.
qlogout [−cs <commserve_host_name>] [−all] [−tf <tokenfile>] [−tk <token>] [−h]
