DATABASE CONNECTION PARAMETERS
These are the parameters for the -c command-line switch. If the connection parameters
are not specified, connection parameters from the SQLCONNECT environment variable
are used, if set.
The connection parameters are separated by semi-colons, and the entire set must be
quoted. For example, under Windows NT the following validates the ExtremeWare
Enterprise Manager, connecting as user ID dba with password sql:
< install_dir >\database\dbvalid -c “uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=< install_dir >\basecamp.db”
THE BACKUP UTILITY
The Backup utility makes a backup copy of all data in the database, except for user
names and passwords. Access the Backup utility from the MSDOS or Solaris command
line using the dbbackup command. This convention also allows incorporation into
batch or command files.
THE DBBACKUP COMMAND-LINE UTILITY
To back up the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager database running under Windows NT,
use the command:
<install_dir> \database\dbbackup -c
“uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=
<install_dir >\basecamp.db” <backup_dir>
Under Solaris, use the command:
<install_dir> /database/dbbackup -c
“uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf= <install_dir> /basecamp.db” <backup_dir>
