Tivoli Common Reporting commands

Edit online
The trcmd command provides access to the Tivoli Common Reporting command-line interface. Use this command to perform administrative tasks related to reports, report sets, and report designs.

The command-line interface is available only on the system where Tivoli Common Reporting is installed. To use the trcmd command, go to the REPORTING_HOME/bin.

Each command function is accessed using a command flag, which must be the first command-line argument following trcmd (trcmd.sh on Linux® and UNIX systems). Each command flag might have multiple flag sets; a flag set is a set of command-line arguments used together to perform a specific task. For example, different flag sets for trcmd -import are used to import reports.

To see syntax and usage information for any trcmdcommand flag, use the -help flag. For example, to see information about the -list command flag, use this command:
trcmd -list -help

The command reference topics in this section use special characters to define command syntax:

  • [ ] - Identifies an optional argument. Arguments not enclosed in brackets are required.
  • ... - Indicates that you can specify multiple values for an argument.
  • | - Indicates mutually exclusive arguments. Specify the argument on either side of the separator, but not both sides.
  • {} - Encloses a set of mutually exclusive arguments separated by |.
Tip: The documentation in this section shows the command usage for a Windows system. On a Linux or UNIX system, use trcmd.sh.
