dpmutil Syntax

dpmutil is a command-line utility that lets you change the configuration of CA Virtual Assurance components. To use dpmutil, Management DB information must be available in the Registry, and the Microsoft SQL client must be installed. To access dpmutil, you must have a user name with administrator privileges. The dpmutil command-line utility syntax accepts either set, get, or delete requests as a first argument, and then lets you set or get information about the components. If you input invalid or no arguments, an error message appears with syntax information and the list of components that you can configure. The dpmutil syntax includes the following:

dpmutil {-set|-get|-delete} 
-category|component 
[-userusername] [-passwordpassword] 
[-help] 
[-validateonly]
[-locale iso639value]

-set

Defines or updates the configuration settings for the component.

-get

Displays the configuration settings for the component.

-delete

Deletes the configuration settings for the component.

-category|component

Defines the category or component from which you want to obtain or change data.

-userusername

(Optional) Specifies the EEM user. Without this parameter, dpmutil prompts you for valid EEM credentials before allowing access to configuration updates and deletes, or a display of existing configuration information.

-passwordpassword

(Optional) Specifies the EEM password. Without this parameter, dpmutil prompts you for valid EEM credentials before allowing access to configuration updates and deletes, or a display of existing configuration information.

Note: There is no space between the user and password parameters and their value.

-help

Displays the dpmutil help.

-validateonly

(Optional) Validates the information entered when used with set and a valid command as follows:

dpmutil -set command -validateonly

This command does not create or update information.

-locale iso639value

(Optional) Specifies an IS0 639_3166 combination to override the default English output, for example, fr_FR for French. To use the locale of the command prompt, specify "native".
