The syntax for a mirror reference is server[:port]/name. name Specifies the name of an object (cube, report, or folder). When the object is a folder, it can be used to form a folder hierarchy (see the Conventions section below). A server is also considered the root folder. objectname Specifies the logical name of the cube as defined in PowerPlay Enterprise - Server Administration. option Specifies a command option, as described in the Options section below. password Specifies either a simple server password or the password for the specified Access Manager user name. path Specifies a physical path to the data source file. Uses the format of your operating system (UNIX or Windows). port Specifies Port number of the PowerPlay server. 102 Cognos PowerPlay (R)
Appendix B: Batch Administration Description Conventions Options property Specifies an object property in (.) object hierarchy format. For a list of properties, use the SHOW command. server Specifies the name or IP address of a PowerPlay server. type Specifies the type of object. The type can be CUBE, REPORT, or FOLDER. username Specifies a user name belonging to an Access Manager user class. value Specifies the value for a property. The ppadmtool program executes PowerPlay server commands from the UNIX command shell or Windows Command Prompt. When entering file paths or the variable "name" (when the object is a folder), a dot (.) represents the current folder, two dots (..) represent the parent folder, and a slash (/) represents the root folder, which is the server. For example, the following script disables all objects on server hp_srv. ppadmtool > connect hp_srv > disable ./ > exit When entering file names or paths containing spaces, enclose the entire file name or path in quotation marks ("). For example SHOW "great outdoors" COPY ../gnt "/CF systems/great outdoors" You can also redirect input from a file and output to a file. ppadmtool < ../adm/daily_update.txt > check.log ADD Adds a new object to the connected server. PATH indicates a data source file and DS indicates mirror reference. The following example adds the report "Finance" to the connected server: ADD REPORT Finance PATH /applications/finance.ppx The following example adds the folder "Finance" which has a mirror reference to the object "FinanceHQ" on server remote3, which is running a PowerPlay server on port 8065: ADD FOLDER Finance DS remote3:8065/FinanceHQ If a type is not specified, the object is assumed to be a cube. ADD DS Adds a mirror reference to an existing object. The following example adds two mirror reference (to the servers "remote2" and "remote3") to the cube "Marketing": ADD DS CUBE Marketing DS remote2/mkt ADD DS CUBE Marketing DS remote3/mkt If a type is not specified, the object is assumed to be a cube.
