Using Software Management Tools in Batch Mode

Windows

WindowsInstallPath\win_b64\code\bin\CATSoftwareMgtB (64-bit code on Windows, x64 Edition)
WindowsInstallPathx86\intel_a\code\bin CATSoftwareMgtB(32-bit code on Windows, x64 Edition)

UNIX

UNIXInstallPath/OS/catstart -run CATSoftwareMgtB

where  "OS" is:

• aix_a
• aix_a64

CATSoftwareMgtB Batch Command Syntax

• -L: lists installed configurations and/or products
• -I: checks integrity (see Checking Integrity and Prerequisites)

-I1: Checks integrity - Level 1 only control files are checked; quickest
-I2: Checks integrity - Level 2 checks existence of all installed files
-I3: Checks integrity - Level 3 checks existence and validity of all installed files; this may take several minutes.

• -P: checks prerequisites (see Checking Integrity and Prerequisites)
• -C/-R: performs service pack commit or rollback; you must be administrator to use these options (see Committing and Rolling Back Service Packs)
• -o logfile: sets name of output logfile

If you do not specify the " -o" option, the output will be displayed on the screen on both Windows and UNIX.

On Windows the build level will be specified like this in the batch output:

Build Level = EnvNameSuffix (32-bit)
Build Level = EnvNameSuffix (64-bit)

depending on the case.

• -D: dumps system information to the output log file (see Getting System Information). This option is only available on Windows.
• -killprocess: detects running processes (for example, Orbix) in the installation folder (unload_dir/code/bin) and prompts you to kill them if you decide to rollback the service pack using the "-R" option: if you do so, running processes will be killed, if not, the service pack will not be rolled back. Do not forget to restart the processes afterwards.
• -h: provides help on arguments.
