#49775 dsctl db2bak issues
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by mreynolds.

Issue Description

A few issues

[root@localhost BUILD]# dsctl localhost db2bak
usage: dsctl instance db2bak [-h] archive
dsctl instance db2bak: error: the following arguments are required: archive

The old db2bak would create a backup using the date as the name, and would store it in the server's backup directory if the user did NOT supply a specific backup location. We should add this functionality back.

Then if the command fails, it report success anyway

# dsctl localhost db2bak mark  
OK group dirsrv exists
OK user dirsrv exists
db2bak: Can not operate while directory server is running
db2bak successful
Command successful.

# echo $?
0

Also we should also remove the extra output:

OK group dirsrv exists
OK user dirsrv exists

These scripts should be as "quiet" as possible. Only in a verbose mode should we print this extra info. Also it seems a bit odd that it's storing the backup in the logs directory. Not sure if this was by design or not, but it should go into the server's backup directory


Making good progress here.

I've also decided it is best to leave the output as is. It's actually coming from the db2bak shell script. So until we get rid of the shell scripts (and replace them with python scripts?) we'll not change this behavior.
