You can issue IBM InfoSphere CDC commands at a command line prompt or as part of a batch file or shell script. Commands are located in the bin directory of your IBM InfoSphere CDC installation directory. Navigate to this directory to run the commands.
To list the available flags for a command and a short description of each flag, type the name of the command at a command prompt with the -? flag and press Enter. For example, dmterminate -?
Command formats
For each command, the following items of information are provided:
▪Syntax—Identifies the name of the command and lists the command parameters.
▪Parameters—Describes each parameter in the command and identifies the values that can be specified.
▪Result—Indicates the values that are returned by the command if it is successful. These values can be useful for scripting. This section also specifies the information that is displayed on the screen, if any, as a result of executing the command.
▪Examples—Provides one or more examples of invoking the command.
Parameter formats
Note the following conventions in the definition of the command parameters:
▪Angle brackets ( < > ) indicate a mandatory parameter.
▪Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate an optional parameter. If you omit the parameter, IBM InfoSphere CDC uses a default value.
▪A vertical bar ( | ) separating one or more parameters indicate that only one of the parameters in the list can be used. When one or more vertical bars appear in a list of parameters that is enclosed by square brackets [ ], the choices are limited to the parameters in the list, but you have the option to not specify any of the parameters.
▪Ellipsis ( ... ) means that a parameter or option can be repeated more than once.
▪Unless otherwise noted, the commands apply to all operating systems.
