Performing database revision control via a script

[mamakos]

Hello All,

I'm using NGX R60 (in fact on Provider 1 but it must be the same with smartcenter).

I would like to automatically generate a database revision control using the dbver function provided by checkpoint. Yet, this command does not permit to set "admin/password/command" in CLI. There does not seem to be any option like that.

For now, I did not achieve to pass the admin password via any script.

Has one of you made a script to use the dbver stuff ?

Here is what I get from the help option.

foufourc{root}# dbver -help

Note: A connection to SmartCenter Server must be established before executing any of the following commands. ('Print' can be done without such a connection)

Usage: dbver [-p version_file_path] [-help]

export <version_numbers> <delete | keep>
import <exported_version_file_name>
create <version_name> <version_comment>
delete <version_numbers>
print <version_file_path>
print_all
help
quit


Examples:
=========
-Export versions and delete them from the SmartCenter Server repository:
export 1,2 delete

-Export a version and keep it in the SmartCenter Server repository:
export 3 keep

-Import a previously exported version from $FWDIR/conf/db_versions/export/
import myserver_2002-09-12_081223

-Create a new version:
create my_daily_version for_backup

-Delete version/versions:
delete 1,2

-Print properties of an imported version:
print /tmp/local_filename

-Print properties of all versions in the SmartCenter Server repository:
print_all

this works on R65, i don't have access to a R60 box to test.

dbver -s server -u user -w password -m 'create test test'

in fact this is a new functionality of R65...

Hello,
have you tried a simple redirecting standard input script like this one ?

#!/bin/bash
cat <<EOF | $FWDIR/bin/dbver
127.0.0.1
U
fwadmin
password
print_all
quit
EOF

Nope... we have upgraded to R65 ! :)
