Commands

You can use these commands to write the objects from various databases to a file:

This command:

Causes the:

aoplogu -d

Log daemon to dump the contents of the common message log database to the stdout file

hinvu -d

Historical Inventory daemon to dump the contents of its database to the stdout file

pidu -c 'dump filename; '

Printer Inventory Definition Utility (PIDU) to dump all the objects in the Printer Inventory to the file you specify

sdbu -d

Search daemon to dump the contents of all of its databases to the stdout file

You can redirect stdout to an HFS or z/OS file system (zFS) file. For example:

aoplogu -d > /tmp/log.dump
hinvu -d > /tmp/hinv.dump
sdbu -d > /tmp/sdb.dump          

The pidu dump command writes to an HFS or zFS file or an MVS™ data set. It does not write to stdout. For example:

pidu -c 'dump /tmp/inventory.dump;'
