EMS Schema Export Tool Options

The following table shows the options that are used with the Schema Export Tool.

Option Description
-tibemsdconf pathname The absolute path to the tibemsd.conf or tibemsd.json file. For example, on a UNIX system: 
/opt/tibco/ems/8.5/samples/config/tibemsd.conf

This tool supports JSON configuration files only when run on those platforms for which Central Administration is supported. For a list of supported platforms, see the supported platforms list for Central Administration in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Installation guide.

Text-based tibemsd.conf files are supported on all platforms.

-exporttofile Export the schema to a file named store-name.ddl.log, where store-name is the name of the database store. If multiple database stores are configured, then one file is created for each database store.

If neither exporttofile nor export option is included, the schema export tool prints the schema to the console.

If both -eporttofile and -export are included, the Schema Export Tool exports the database schema to both locations.

-export Export the schema to the database configured for the store.

If neither export nor exporttofile option is included, the schema export tool prints the schema to the console.

If both -eport and -exporttofile are included, the Schema Export Tool exports the database schema to both locations.

-store storename=create|update|drop Create, update, or drop the schema for one or more specific stores that are named in the stores configuration file.

If you choose the create option for a schema that already exists, the Schema Export Tool recreates the schema.

Note that create prints the schema to screen but does not deploy it. You must use export or exporttofile in order to implement the schema.

-createall Create all the stores found in the stores configuration file. Note that this option drops any existing configurations when creating the new stores.
-dropall Drop all the stores found in the stores configuration file.
-updateall Update the schema for all stores configured in the found in stores configuration file.
-help Print information about the schema export tool and its options, and exit the tool.

Examples

The following examples show how the Schema Export Tool can be used to create database schemas in various configurations.

  • Example 1

This example shows how the Schema Export Tool can be invoked from any directory by giving the absolute path to the tibemsd_util.jar: 

$ java -jar /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/bin/tibemsd_util.jar -help
  • Example 2

In this example, the Schema Export Tool creates and exports database schemas for all the stores found in the stores.conf that is set in the specified tibemsd-mssqlserver.conf file: 

$ java -jar /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/bin/tibemsd_util.jar -tibemsdconf /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/samples/config/tibemsd.conf -createall -export
  • Example 3

In this example, the Schema Export Tool exports the database schema for the $sys.failsafe store to the database: 

$ java -jar /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/bin/tibemsd_util.jar -tibemsdconf /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/samples/config/tibemsd.conf –export –store \$sys.failsafe=create
  • Example 4

In this example, the Schema Export Tool writes the database schema for the $sys.failsafe store to the file $sys.failsafe.ddl.log: 

$ java -jar /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/bin/tibemsd_util.jar -tibemsdconf /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/samples/config/tibemsd.conf –exporttofile –store \$sys.failsafe=create
  • Example 5

In this example the Schema Export Tool creates and exports the database schema for the store mystore1, but drops the schema associated with mystore2 and exports the change: 

$ java –jar /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/bin/tibemsd_util.jar –tibemsdconf /opt/tibco/ems/8.5/samples/config/tibemsd.conf -store mystore1=create -store mystore2=drop -export
