Specifies the full path and file name for a CDCT backup file that you are creating or using for a restore operation. The backup file is a delimited text file.

Required in the following commands: CREATE_CDCT_BACKUP, DERIVE_CDCT_BACKUP, and RESTORE_CDCT.

If you specified the CONFIG parameter in the pwxccl statement when starting the PowerExchange Logger process, specify the same parameter value in the PWXUCDCT utility command for that process. The parameter specifies the full path and file name for a DBMOVER configuration file that overrides the default dbmover configuration file in the installation directory. The full path is required only if the override file does not reside in the default location. The override file takes precedence over any other override configuration file that you optionally specify with the PWX_CONFIG environment variable.

For example, you might use an override DBMOVER configuration file to split PowerExchange Logger processing across multiple database instances but maintain a separate CDCT file for each instance.

Optional in any PWXUCDCT utility command.

If you specified the CS parameter in the pwxccl statement when starting the PowerExchange Logger process, specify the same parameter value in the PWXUCDCT utility command for that process. The parameter specifies the full path and file name of the PowerExchange Logger configuration file. If you specify either the CONFIG or LICENSE parameter, the CS parameter is required. You can use the CS parameter to specify a PowerExchange Logger configuration file that overrides the default pwxccl configuration file in the installation directory. The full path is required only if the override file does not reside in the default location.

Recommended in all PWXUCDCT utility commands.

If you cold started the PowerExchange Logger from the command line with a pwxccl command that included the encryptepwd parameter, you must specify that same parameter value in the ENCRYPTEPWD parameter in the RESTORE_CDCT command. The parameter specifies an encryption password, in encrypted format, that enables the encryption of PowerExchange Logger log files. With this password, the command can restore the CDCT file, including the encryption password that is stored in the file in encrypted format.

If you specified the LICENSE parameter in the pwxccl command when starting the PowerExchange Logger process, specify the same parameter value in the PWXUCDCT utility command for that process. The parameter specifies the full path and file name for a license key file that overrides the default license.key file in the installation directory. The full path is required only if the override file does not reside in the default location. The override file takes precedence over any other override license key file that you optionally specify with the PWX_LICENSE environment variable.

Optional in all PWXUCDCT commands.

Specifies a previous backup file to use with the DERIVE_CDCT_BACKUP command to derive a backup that is suitable for a restore operation. Use this parameter when a recent backup is not available after a failure or the latest available backup would result in significant reprocessing of data. You can use a backup file that was automatically generated at PowerExchange Logger initialization or shutdown or that you manually created. By using a previous backup file, you preserve more historic information in the CDCT file. Also, the utility will roll the CDCT contents forward based on any log files it discovers that are later than the backup point in time.

Specifies the frequency with which the PWXUCDCT utility displays progress information for a RESTORE_CDCT operation. The frequency is expressed as the number of records read from the CDCT backup file. Each time the utility processes this number of records, it writes progress message PWX-25132 to the console screen and PowerExchange message log. Default is to display progress information each time the utility processes approximately 1 percent of the records in the backup file.

Specifies a path and file name that you can specify to send report output to a file instead of to the command line screen. In the command, precede this value with a greater than (>) sign, for example:

Optional in any PWXUCDCT REPORT command.
