Database Export Utility
Database Export Utility
There is a little known utility that helps us to export maximo database. This utility helps us to
export database in any db type. For example assume that we are using oracle but we want to
export database to use it in DB2. We can use this utility. It supplies us a maximo.db2 file which
is like we use in maxinst.bat. You can find it in %MAXIMOROOT
%\tools\maximo\internal\Unlcvt.bat
Here are the parameters that you can use with this tool:
Runs psdi.configure.Unlcvt.
The default name of the output file is Unlcvt.ora (Oracle), Unlcvt.sqs
(SqlServer), or Unlcvt.ddl (DB2).
The default database is defined in the maximo.properties file.
The commandline parameters for overriding the defaults are listed below.
Also see javadocs for psdi.configure.Unlcvt.
-a (db alias)
Database alias. If not specified, uses mxe.db.url property.
-f (filename)
Filename for properties file. If not specified, uses
maximo.properties.
(Also see -k parameter for propfile directory.)
-k (propfile dir)
Directory for properties file.
(Also see -f parameter for propfile filename.)
-o (filename)
Filename of output file (without path or extension).
-p (password)
Password for database connection.
If not specified, uses mxe.db.password property, or "maximo".
-u (username)
Username for database connection.
If not specified, uses mxe.db.user property, or "maximo".
-x (db platform)
Output to a different db platform that the one being used
for input.
(The default is to output to the same platform.)
Values for platform are: 1=Oracle, 2=SqlServer, 3=DB2.
Example Usage:
Unlcvt.bat -x3
