Using pmrep in Script/Batch File to Backup Repository 1

[suchit]

Hi,

I want to use pmrep and be able to backup and restore repositories from command-line. Can someone give nay pointers?

Also, I have repository (say) REP1 which contains different folders (say) F1, F2 and F3 (as viewed in Rep Mgr tab). Is it possible to backup F1 only in REP1 from command line using any script?

Thanks in advance!

There is a seperate pdf document on working with commandline (PC_81_CommandLineReference.pdf, if you're working with version 8)

basically, you create a shell command file that executes the script. (you can even use Powercenter to fire a task that calls the command file)

example:

c:\PWC\pmrep\pmrep\ connect -r Prod -n Administrator -x
Adminpwd -d Mydomain -h Machine -o 8080
c:\PWC\pmrep\pmrep\ backup -o c:\backup\Prod_backup.rep

AFAIK you cannot create seperate backups for folders.
It is not possible to create backups of part of database tables
