BPMCreateTargetProfile command-line utility

The BPMCreateTargetProfile command creates a target migration profile using some of the base configuration information that was backed up using the BPMSnapshotSourceProfile command.

Synopsis

BPMCreateTargetProfile [options] snapshot_directory source_profile_name

Description

The BPMCreateTargetProfile command creates a target migration profile using some of the base configuration information copied from the source profile specified by the snapshot_directory and source_profile_name parameters.

The target profile is created with the same cell name, node name, and host name that are specified in the source profile.

A newly created migration target profile is not ready for use until the rest of the migration procedure is complete. This includes migrating the source profile to the target, migrating the cluster in a clustered managed node scenario, and completing the schema and data upgrades.

Note: The BPMCreateTargetProfile command should be invoked from the target_install_root/bin directory.

Options

-targetProfileName target_profile_name
Use this option to specify a target profile name that is different than the source profile name.
-targetProfileDirectory target_profile_directory
Use this option to override the default location of the target profile directory.
-remoteMigration true
Use this option if it is a remote migration scenario.
-hostName hostname
Use this option to specify a specific hostname, used only when its a remote migration scenario.
-help

Examples

Problem determination

Errors are logged in the snapshot directory in a file whose name begins with BPMCreateTargetProfile and ends with .error.

The BPMCreateTargetProfile command displays status information in the command window as it executes. The command also logs information to the BPMCreateTargetProfile.target_profile_name.timestamp.log file in the snapshot_directory/logs/ directory.

During execution, the BPMCreateTargetProfile command invokes the manageprofiles command-line utility, which creates a more extensive log in the target_install_root/logs/manageprofiles directory.

If the BPMCreateTargetProfile command fails, check the logs, correct the issues, delete the target profile using the manageprofiles command-line utility, and re-invoke the BPMCreateTargetProfile command.
