Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

SA Command Line Interface (OCLI)
The SA Command Line Interface (OCLI) consists of two tools:
oupload
– Uploads files into the Software Repositoryodownload
– Downloads files from the Software Repository
These commands help to automate the setup tasks for package management in Server Automation. For a list of supported package types, see "Software management" in the SA 10.50 User Guide.
OCLI runs on a server managed by SA. The operating system of this server can be one of the following: Oracle Sun Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Microsoft Windows.
Upload verification
After you upload a package with OCLI, verify that the upload has been successful by locating the package with the
SA Client. Typically, you add the uploaded package to a folder or a policy.
Encoding options for OCLI
The oupload and odownload commands include options for specifying the encoding scheme of packages or customer display names. These options are required only when you want to override the default setting in the LANG environment variable of your shell.
RPM uploads
For RPM packages, always remember to upload the source files after uploading a package. Uploading the source files is important from a maintenance perspective because it allows users to modify packages at a later date.
Passwords and environment variables
The oupload
and odownload
commands prompt for the SA user name and password when needed. Alternatively, you can set the ISMTOOLUSERNAME and ISMTOOLPASSWORD environment variables.
The 'ocli.conf' configuration file located at the root of the OCLI installation can be edited to set a OCLI username and password for connecting to SA. If you provide username and password in the ocli.conf file, then the password will be encrypted in the file after the first run of the oupload or odownload command.
Upload examples
To upload mytoolkit.rpm into the /Kit Apps/Services folder, enter the following command on a single line:
$ oupload --pkgtype RPM --os "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3"
--folder "/Kit Apps/Services" mytoolkit.rpm
To upload iPlanet_Web_Server-4.1sp19-LC~0.sparc64.rpm for the customer Opsware and the operating system Solaris 5.11, enter the following command on a single line:
$ <installation_directory>/bin/oupload --pkgtype RPM --old --customer Opsware
--os "SunOS 5.11" iPlanet_Web_Server-4.1sp19-LC~0.sparc64.rpm
Be sure to enclose values containing spaces, such as SunOS 5.11, in quotes.
