FileSwitchLogger

FileSwitchLogger

Closes open log files for the PowerExchange Logger Service and then switches to a new set of log files. If the open log files do not contain any data, the file switch does not occur.
If you use continuous extraction mode, you generally do not need to complete file switches manually.
The infacmd pwx FileSwitchLogger command uses the following syntax: 
FileSwitchLogger

[<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name]

[<-UserName|-un> user_name]

[<-Password|-pd> password]

<-ServiceName|-sn> service_name

[<-ResilienceTimeout|-re> timeout_period_in_seconds]

[<-SecurityDomain|-sdn> security_domain]

[<-Gateway|-hp> gateway_host1:port gateway_host2:port...]

[<-OSUser|-oun> OS_user_name]

[<-OSPassword|-oup> OS_password]

[<-OSEPassword|-ouep> OS_epassword]
The following table describes infacmd pwx FileSwitchLogger options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
domain_name
Name of the Informatica domain. You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-UserName
-un
user_name
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.
Optional if the domain uses Kerberos authentication. To run the command with single sign-on, do not set the user name. If you set the user name, the command runs without single sign-on.
-Password
-pd
password
Required if you specify the user name. Password for the user name. The password is case sensitive. You can set a password with the -pd option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -pd option takes precedence.
-ServiceName
-sn
service_name
Required. Name of the Logger Service.
-ResilienceTimeout
-re
timeout_period_in_seconds
Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or
re-establish
 a connection to the domain. You can set the resilience timeout period with the -re option or the environment variable INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT. If you set a the resilience timeout period with both methods, the -re option takes precedence.
-SecurityDomain
-sdn
security_domain
Required if the domain uses LDAP authentication. Optional if the domain uses native authentication or Kerberos authentication. Name of the security domain to which the domain user belongs. You can set a security domain with the -sdn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DOMAIN. If you set a security domain name with both methods, the -sdn option takes precedence. The security domain name is case sensitive.
If the domain uses native or LDAP authentication, the default is Native. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, the default is the LDAP security domain created during installation. The name of the security domain is the same as the user realm specified during installation.
-Gateway
-hp
gateway_host1:port gateway_host2:port...
Required if the gateway connectivity information in the domains.infa file is out of date. The host names and port numbers for the gateway nodes in the domain.
-OSUser
-oun
OS_user_name
Required if you enable operating system security. User name for the operating system.
Enable operating system security as follows:
  • To require users to enter a valid operating system user ID and password on the command, specify 1 or 2 for the first parameter of the SECURITY statement in the DBMOVER configuration file on each Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that is the target of the command. PowerExchange uses operating system facilities on the target system to authenticate the user ID and password for use of the infacmd pwx program.
  • To authorize users to run specific infacmd pwx commands, specify 2 for the first parameter of the SECURITY statement and define AUTHGROUP and USER statements in the PowerExchange sign-on file on each Linux, UNIX, or Windows system that is the target of the command. PowerExchange checks the sign-on file to determine whether to allow the user ID supplied on the infacmd pwx program to run commands.
-OSPassword
-oup
OS_password
Required if you specify a user name and do not specify an encrypted password. Password for the operating system.
You can set a plain text password with the -p option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_PWX_OSPASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -p option takes precedence.
-OSEPassword
-ouep
OS_epassword
Required if you specify a user name and do not specify a plain text password. Encrypted password for the operating system.
You can set an encrypted password with the -e option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_PWX_OSEPASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -e option takes precedence.
