Looking for commands that can be used to backup/restore jobset, trigger, station, calendar and message action records.

Environment

UUJMA, JMO

Resolution

To copy all jobs, jobsets, stations, calendars, message records and actions from one machine to another or for the same machine (backup and restore), you can use the following commands:

1. For jobs, jobsets and triggers:
   • cauexpr -a (backup)
     - Output will be written to cauexpr.txt file in the current directory.
   • cautil -f cauexpr.txt (restore)
2. For Stations: You need to create them manually.
3. For Calendars:
• caldb save cal.dsb
  - This dumps the CAICALDB to a dsb file.
• caldb script cal.dsb > cal.txt
  - This takes the cal.dsb file you created in the above step and dumps it to a text file cal.txt.
• cautil -f cal.txt (restore)
4. For message records and actions:
   • oprdb script db > filename.txt (backup)
   • cautil -f filename.txt (restore)
