French version


 

The Database management tool can be run in automatic mode from a command file. The parameters specify the default values of the fields in the graphical interface. If "auto" mode or "no_gui" mode is specified, all the necessary parameters must be entered; alternatively, the user can enter details in the GUI.


The database management tool in batch mode only exists in the Java version, with functional restrictions: the administration tools are not available and "via middleware" mode is not implemented.

The Java command line syntax is as follows: 

java <javaOpts> com.hardis.adelia.dbtool.DbTool -<command>-descfile:<file_name> -database:<url_base>... 


The CLASSPATH must be configured to include the Adelia Java runtime, the configuration scripts and the necessary JDBC drivers. 


The following considerations must, however, be taken into account: 

  • To maximize compatibility with the Windows version, the text file encodings correspond by default to Windows Western settings (code page 1252 for the ANSI character set). However, the character set to use for no-BOM SQL scripts can be chosen via Java command line parameters:

- DansiCharset=<charset>  

Charset for ANSI inputs/outputs (scripts, delimited ASCII imports and IXF files). 

By default "Cp1252" ("ISO-8859-1" if not supported by the JVM). 


  • The log level and information displayed can be controlled by the command line (INFO by default):

- Dverbose  

Displays the detail of exceptions when there is an error.  

- Ddebug  

Enables DEBUG level in loggers.  

- Dtrace  

Enables TRACE level in loggers.  

- Dlog4j.external.configuration = true  

By default, the tool uses a LOG4J simplified configuration to limit the display to the relevant messages. 

If this option is specified, the log4j configuration will not be initialized by the tool (log4j.properties loaded from the CLASSPATH). 



  • Generally speaking, the parameters indicating a file or directory name must be adapted to correspond to the syntax of the platform's file names (path separator, drive letters, etc.).
  • The Java version only works in batch mode and only supports a sub-assembly of features in the Windows version.
  • Administration tools are not supported: create/backup database, in particular create, backup, restore and delete options.
  • The "via middleware" execution mode is not supported.
  • Windows-specific instructions in the scripts are not implemented (registry test escape sequence).



If a utility is specified, but not in automatic mode, the tool will start directly on the page associated with the requested action.


Parameters are set generically on the command line:


-param

for parameters not requiring a value.

-param:integer_value

for parameters taking a numerical value.

-param:"string value"

for parameters taking a string value.

The valid parameters are summarized in the tables below:

(X : Mandatory)

(O : Optional)

(Blank : ignored)
