Oracle Database CLI Reference

The Database CLI (dbcli) is a command line interface available for Base Database Service. After you connect to the DB system in the Base Database Service, you can use the dbcli to perform tasks such as creating Oracle database homes and databases.

Operational Notes

  • The database CLI commands must be run as the root user.

  • dbcli is in the /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/ directory.

    This directory is included in the path for the root user's environment.

  • Oracle Database maintains logs of the dbcli command output in the dcscli.log and dcs-agent.log files in the /opt/oracle/dcs/log/ directory.

  • The database CLI commands and most parameters are case sensitive and should be typed as shown. A few parameters are not case sensitive, as indicated in the parameter descriptions, and can be typed in uppercase or lowercase.

Syntax

The database CLI commands use the following syntax:

dbcli command [parameters]

where:

  • command is a verb-object combination such as create-database.
  • parameters include additional options for the command. Most parameter names are preceded with two dashes, for example, --help. Abbreviated parameter names are preceded with one dash, for example, -h.
  • User-specified parameter values are shown in red text within angle brackets, for example, <db_home_id>. Omit the angle brackets when specifying these values.
  • The help parameter is available with every command.

The remainder of this topic contains syntax and other details about the commands.

CLI Update Command

Occasionally, new commands are added to the database CLI and other commands are updated to support new features. You can use the following command to update the database CLI:

cliadm update-dbcli

Use the cliadm update-dbcli command to update the database CLI with the latest new and updated commands.

Note

On RAC DB systems, execute the cliadm update-dbcli command on each node in the cluster.

Syntax

cliadm update-dbcli [-h] [-j]

Parameters

Parameter Full Name Description
-h --help (Optional) Displays help for using the command.
-j --json (Optional) Displays JSON output.

Backup Commands

The following commands are available to back up databases: 

  • dbcli create-backup
  • dbcli getstatus-backup
  • dbcli schedule-backup
Note

Instead of using dbcli, you can use the Console or the API to manage backing up the databases your DB system to the Object Storage. However, if you switch from using dbcli to using managed backups, a new backup configuration is created and associated with your database, and backups you created by using dbcli will not be accessible from the managed backup interfaces. For information about managed backups, see Back Up and Recovery in Base Database Service.

Before you can back up a database by using the dbcli create-backup command, you'll need to:

  1. Create a backup configuration by using the dbcli create-backupconfig command.
  2. Associate the backup configuration with the database by using the dbcli update-database command.

After a database is associated with a backup configuration, you can use the dbcli create-backup command in a cron job to run backups automatically. You can use a cron utility such as CronMaker to help build expressions. For more information, see CronMaker.

dbcli create-backup

Use the dbcli create-backup command to create a backup of a database.

Syntax

dbcli create-backup 
  -in <db_name> 
  -i <db_id> 
  [-bt {Regular-L0|Regular-L1|Longterm|ArchiveLog}] 
  [-c {Database|TdeWallet}] 
  [-k <n>] 
  [-t <tag>] 
  [-h] [-j]

Parameters

Parameter Full Name Description
-bt --backupType

(Optional) Backup type. Possible values are Regular-L0, Regular-L1, Longterm, and ArchiveLog. Regular-L0 and Regular L1 correspond to incremental L0 and L1 backups. Longterm corresponds to Full backup. ArchiveLog corresponds to archived redo logs backup. The default value is Regular-L1. Values are not case-sensitive. If omitted, the default value is used.

-c --component

(Optional) Component. Possible values are Database and TdeWallet. The default value is Database. The value TdeWallet backs up TDE wallets. Values are not case-sensitive. If omitted, the default value is used.

Note that the TDE wallets are automatically backed up in the following situations: 
  • A database is created with an Object Storage backup configuration.
  • A database that has an Object Storage backup configuration is updated.
  • An Object Storage backup configuration is updated.
  • A backup of the type Longterm is created.
  • The TDE key for a database is rotated.
  • A database is backed up and no TDE wallet backups exist yet.
-h --help (Optional) Displays help for using the command.
-i --dbid The ID of the database to back up. Use the dbcli list-databases command to get the database's ID.
-in --dbName The name of the database to back up. Use the dbcli list-databases command to get the database's name.
-j --json (Optional) Displays JSON output.
-k --keepDays

(Optional) Specifies the time until which the backup or copy must be kept. After this time the backup is obsolete, regardless of the backup retention policy settings. For Longterm backup type only.

-t --tag

(Required for Longterm backup type) Specifies a user-specified tag name for a backup set and applies this tag to the output files generated by the command. This value is not case sensitive. Valid number of characters: 1 to 30. The characters are limited to the characters that are valid in file names on the target file system. For example, ASM does not support the use of the hyphen (-) character in the file names it uses internally, so weekly-incremental is not a valid tag name for backups in ASM disk groups. Environment variables are not valid in the TAG parameter.

Examples

The following command creates a backup of the specified database using the database ID.

dbcli create-backup -i 573cadb2-0cc2-4c1c-9c31-595ab8963d5b

The following command creates a backup of the specified database using the database name ("mydb").

dbcli create-backup -in mydb

dbcli getstatus-backup

Use the dbcli getstatus-backup command to display the status of a backup.

Syntax

dbcli getstatus-backup

Backupconfig Commands

A backup configuration determines the backup destination and recovery window for database backups. You create the backup configuration and then associate it with a database by using the dbcli update-database command.

Note

Backups that were configured using the Console may become unusable if you make changes using these commands. For backups configured using the Console, use these commands with support guidance only.
Note

Instead of using dbcli, you can use the Console or the API to manage backing up the databases in your DB system to the Object Storage. For information about managed backups, see Back Up and Recovery in Base Database Service.

After a database is associated with a backup configuration, you can use the dbcli create-backup command in a cron job to run backups automatically. You can use a cron utility such as CronMaker to help build expressions. For more information, see CronMaker.

The following commands are available to manage backup configurations:

  • dbcli create-backupconfig
  • dbcli list-backupconfigs

Objectstoreswift Commands

You can back up a database to an existing bucket in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service by using the dbcli create-backup command, but first you'll need to:

  1. Create an object store on the DB system, which contains the endpoint and credentials to access Object Storage, by using the dbcli create-objectstoreswift command.
  2. Create a backup configuration that refers to the object store ID and the bucket name by using the dbcli create-backupconfig command.
  3. Associate the backup configuration with the database by using the dbcli update-database command.

The following commands are available to manage object stores.

  • dbcli create-objectstoreswift
  • dbcli describe-objectstoreswift
  • dbcli list-objectstoreswifts

dbcli create-objectstoreswift

Use the dbcli create-objectstoreswift command to create an object store.

Syntax

dbcli create-objectstoreswift 
  -n <object_store_name> 
  -t <object_storage_namespace> 
  -u <user_name> 
  -e https://swiftobjectstorage.<region_name>.oraclecloud.com/v1 
  -p <password>
  [-h] [-j]

where <object_storage_namespace> is your tenancy's Object Storage namespace.

Parameters

Parameter Full Name Description
-e --endpointurl

The following endpoint URL. https://swiftobjectstorage.<region_name>.oraclecloud.com/v1
-h --help (Optional) Displays help for using the command.
-j --json (Optional) Displays JSON output.
-n --name

The name for the object store to be created.

-p --swiftpassword

The auth token that you generated by using the Console or IAM API. For information about generating an auth token for use with Swift, see Managing User Credentials.

This is not the password for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure user.

Specify -p (with no password) to be prompted.

Specify -hp "<password> " in quotes to provide the password (auth token) in the command.

-t --tenantname The Object Storage namespace of your tenancy.
-u --username The user name for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure user account, for example: -u djones@example.com

This is the user name you use to sign in to the Console.

The user name must have tenancy-level access to the Object Storage. An easy way to do this is to add the user name to the Administrators group. However, that allows access to all of the cloud services. Instead, an administrator can create a policy that allows tenancy-level access to just Object Storage. The following is an example of such a policy. 

Allow group DBAdmins to manage buckets in tenancy
Allow group DBAdmins to manage objects in tenancy

For more information about adding a user to a group, see Managing Groups. For more information about policies, see Getting Started with Policies.

Example

The following command creates an object store and prompts for the Swift password:

dbcli create-objectstoreswift -n r2swift -t MyObjectStorageNamespace -u djones@example.com -e https://swiftobjectstorage.<region_name>.oraclecloud.com/v1 -p
Output:
Password for Swift:
