This command updates the repository that stores database profiles and associated credentials when you upgrade SnapManager. Any time you install a new version of SnapManager, you must run the repository update command before you can use the new version. You are able to use this command only if there are no incomplete commands in the repository.

Syntax

smsap repository update
-repository
-dbname repo_service_name
-host repo_host
-login -username repo_username
-port repo_port
[-force] [-noprompt]
[-quiet | -verbose]

Parameters

  • -repository

    The options that follow -repository specify the details of the database for the repository.

  • -dbname repo_service_name

    Specifies the name of the database that stores the repository. Use either the global name or the SID.

  • -host repo_host

    Specifies the name or IP address of the host computer the repository database runs on.

  • -login

    Starts the repository login details.

  • -username repo_username

    Specifies the user name needed to access the database that stores the repository.

  • -port repo_port

    Specifies the TCP port number used to access the database that stores the repository.

  • -force

    Attempts to force the update of the repository. SnapManager prompts you to make a backup of the current repository before updating.

  • -noprompt

    Does not display the prompt before updating the repository database. Using the -noprompt option ensures the prompt does not appear, making it easier to update repositories using a script.

  • -quiet

    Displays only error messages on the console. The default is to display error and warning messages.

  • -verbose

    Displays error, warning, and informational messages on the console.

Example command

The following example updates the repository in the SALESDB database.
