Using the Command-line Interface › ccautil

ccautil

The ccautil executable is the basis for all CLI operations. The arguments you supply with the executable control which operations are performed. The ccautil executable (ccautil.bat for Windows and ccautil.sh for UNIX and Linux) is located on the CA Configuration Automation Server in the <CA Configuration Automation Server_install_directory>\bin directory.

You can use ccautil to perform the following operations:

• Query the CA Configuration Automation Server to obtain service information, such as service names and service UUIDs, and to get server information such as server names and server UUIDs, without having to use the browser-based UI
• Create and store a hashed CA Configuration Automation password in a named password file
• Initiate a server or service Refresh operation with additional options to do the following:
  • Create a Snapshot
  • Run Change Detection between current data to the last Snapshot created
  • Run Rule Compliance against a current or Snapshot data
  • Send an email notification of job completion, job failure, and Change Detection or Rule Compliance failures
• Run customized reports
• Import a server data file
• Create and install a new SSL certificate for securing CA Configuration Automation Agent communications
• Assign or update:
  • Access Profile to Server
  • Management Profile to Server
  • Management Profile to Service
