Archive Command Syntax

After you define the archive rules in the specification file, you run the archive utility with the command line. The archive utility creates the archive file and deletes the archived events from B2B Data Exchange.

The archive utility uses the following syntax:

archive 
<-s|--specification> file
<-u|--user> userID 
<-p|--password> user password
[--server "hostname:port"]

The following table describes options and arguments for the archive utility commands:

Option	Argument	Description
-s --specification	file	Required. Absolute path and file name of the archive specification file.
-u -user	userID	Optional. User name of an Operation Console user account with archiving privileges. If you use Informatica domain authentication or Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication, the user ID must specify the Informatica security domain, separated by the @ symbol. For example: Administrator@SecurityDomain
-U	Environment variable	Optional. Environment variable that contains a user name. User name of an Operation Console user account with archiving privileges. If you use Informatica domain authentication or Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication, the user name must specify the Informatica security domain, separated by the @ symbol. For example: Administrator@SecurityDomain You must specify at least one of the user name options, -u or -U.
-p --password	user password	Optional. Password of the Operation Console user that runs the archive command. The password must be in clear text.
-P	Environment variable	Optional. Environment variable that contains a password. Password of the Operation Console user that runs the archive command. The password must be encrypted. Use dxencrypt for the encrypted value. You must specify at least one of the password options, -p or -P.
--server	“hostname:port”	Optional. Host name and port number of the Data Exchange server. If you do not pass this option, the archive utility connects to the localhost server with the default port 18095. You must enclose the argument in quotation marks, such as: archive --server “localhost:18095”...
