DESCRIPTION
The omnidbutil command is used for Application Recovery Manager internal
database (IDB) maintenance tasks. These tasks involve:
OPERATIONS ON DETAIL CATALOG BINARY FILES (DCBF)
The Detail Catalog (DC) is composed of three parts: 1) Catalog Database (CDB) 2)
The Detail Catalog Binary Files (DCBF) part 3) DCBF directories: registered
directories that contain DCBF. A DCBF directory is allocated when creating new
DCBF using one of three possible allocation algorithms, specified in the Application
Recovery Manager global options file by the DCDirAllocation parameter. The
Application Recovery Manager global options file resides in
<AppRM_home>\config\server\options on the Cell Manager.
Operations on DCBF include: 1) Registering, removing and updating DCBF
directories. 2) Locating DCBF across DCBF directories if they had been moved
manually. 3) Removing invalid references to DCBF. Invalid references can occur after
the DB recovery during which the replay of IDB transaction logs is executed. In this
case CDB is newer than DCBF.
The omnidbutil options used for operations on DC are: -list_dcdirs,
-add_dcdir, -modify_dcdir, -remove_dcdir, -remap_dcdir and -fixmpos.
EXPORTING AND RE-CREATING THE CONTENTS OF THE CDB
The contents of CDB can be exported to and re-created from text files. Text files are
UNICODE.
The omnidbutil options used for exporting and re-creating the contents of CDB are:
-readdb and -writedb.
MISCELLANEOUS TASKS
These tasks involve operations such as extending tablespaces, purging the obsolete
pathnames from the CDB, displaying the information about the IDB and the IDB
upgrade, changing references in object versions from one device to some other device,
changing the owner of the CDB to the current Cell Manager, displaying the CDB
owner and more.
