Description

Dumps the configuration database.

You can dump either the OpenEdge Management configuration database files, even when it is running, to a readable XML file. You can use the dump file as a backup of the configuration database. In the event of a catastrophic failure, you can use the backup dump file to restore the configuration database. Because the dump file is readable, you can also use the file in OpenEdge Management when you are performing diagnostics.

You can also perform a dump and load to reduce the disk space that the configuration database is using.

Syntax

fathom -dump <filename>

The resulting file will be in XML format and contains an XML representation of all definitions in the configuration database. You can use this resulting file in OpenEdge Management, for example, either as a potential single-file backup of the database or to assist with diagnostics regarding database performance.

Example

You can also use the -httpport switch, as follows, to identify the port of the OpenEdge Management web server:

fathom -httpport <port-number> -dump <filename>

Where <filename> is the name of the xml file created, which contains the dumped contents of the configuration database and <port-number> is the port on which OpenEdge Management is running. The default port number is 9090.

If the <port-number> is not specified, the Proenv utility uses the current port number mentioned in the catalina.properties file located in the $OEMGMT/conf folder.
