Interpreting the Command-Line Utility Syntax

This section defines the terminology and conventions used in the descriptions of the command-line utility (CLU).

Each command follows the same approximate format, with the following components:

Command and its variation
The command specifies the action that should be taken.
Options
The options modify the action of the command. Each option starts with a minus (-) or a double-minus (--).
Target
The target specifies the Enterprise Replication object that should be acted upon.
Other objects
Other objects specify objects that are affected by the change to the target.

If you enter an incorrect cdr command at the command-line prompt, the database server returns a usage message that summarizes the cdr commands. For a more detailed usage message, enter cdr variation -h. For example, cdr list server -h.

Important:

You must be the Enterprise Replication server administrator to execute any of the CLU commands except the cdr list options. For more information, see Enterprise Replication Server Administrator.
