Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] export-sync-bundle [--help]

    [file-name]

Storage location

Function

The export-sync-bundle subcommand exports the configuration data of a cluster or standalone instance to an archive file. The archive file can then be used with the import-sync-bundle subcommand to restore the configuration data.

Importing an instance's configuration data transfers the data to a host for an instance without the need for the instance to be able to communicate with the Domain Administration Server (DAS). This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Precondition

Domain Administration Server (DAS) is running.

Files

The subcommand creates an archive that contains the following files and directories in the current domain directory:

• All the files in the following directories:

  config

  docroot

• The entire contents of the following directories and their subdirectories:

  applications

  config/target, where target is the cluster or standalone instance for which configuration data is being exported.

  generated

  lib

Arguments

--help | -?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--target target

Specifies the cluster or standalone instance for which configuration data is to be exported. The --target option is required.

This option must not specify a clustered server instance. If this option specifies a clustered instance, an error occurs. To export configuration data for a clustered instance, specify the name of the cluster of which the instance is a member, not the instance.

Type: String

The following values can be specified:

• cluster_name

• standalone_instance_name

Default value: N/A

--retrieve={false|true}

Specifies whether the archive file is downloaded from the DAS host to the host where the subcommand is run.

Type: Boolean

The following values can be specified:

  The archive file is downloaded to the host where the subcommand is run.

• false

  The archive file is not downloaded and remains on the DAS host (default).

Default value: false

file-name

Specifies the file name and location of the archive file to which the data is to be exported.

Type: String

The following values can be specified:
