The following command line syntax is used for issuing the CLI command, uagcmd:
 

Panel
uagcmd function Global parameters function-specific parameter(s)


Command Line Entry

Description

uagcmd

CLI command that executes all CLI functions.

function

CLI function that performs a specific action in a Universal Controller.

Global parameters

CLI parameters (required and optional) available for all functions.

function-specific parameter(s)

CLI parameters (required and optional) specific to one or more functions.

For example:
 

Panel
uagcmd ops-task-launch -c config.cfg

...

 -x encryptedfile.txt task-type=unix task-name=task01

In this example, the required Global Parameters are contained in the config.cfg configuration file.
 

...

z/

UNIX

The CLI functions are installed in the following directory:

  • /CLI_HOME/bin

Replace CLI_HOME with the directory in which the Agent components are installed.

Windows

The CLI functions are installed in the following directory:

Note
titleNote

Do not use fully qualified file names (that is, with the .exe extension) in CLI for Windows parameters; an error will occur.

  • DRIVE:\CLI_HOME\bin

Replace:

  • DRIVE with the drive they are installed on. Add the appropriate directory for your O/S to your PATH environment variable in order to execute the functions without specifying their full path name.
  • CLI_HOME with the directory in which the Agent components are installed.
Note
titleNote

Do not use fully qualified file names (that is, with the .exe extension) in CLI for Windows parameters; an error will occur.


z/OS

The CLI is implemented with a single program, UAGCMDZ. UAGCMDZ (with alias OPSCMDZ) is installed in the SUNVLOAD library as part of the Universal Agent for z/OS Installation package.
 
See Using the CLI for z/OS for detailed information on using the CLI in a z/OS environment.

If either restriction is in place, the following error message will display when you issue a CLI command:

To remove the restriction, the system administrator must either:

Description

Specifies one or more OMS server addresses used for network communication.
 
The syntax of the value is PORT@HOST[,PORT@HOST...], where:

  • PORT is the TCP port on which the OMS server is listening. The OMS default port is 7878.
  • HOST is the host name or IP address of the OMS server.

If multiple OMS servers are specified, they must be comma-separated.

The functions and syntax requirements for the z/OS environment are very similar to the other supported platforms with a few exceptions described below.

Command Line Options

When UAGCMDZ is executed as a batch program, command line parameters are specified with the step PARM keyword.

For example:

...

Syntax for Options That Accept File Names: -a, -c, -e, and -x

If you use the -a, -c, -e, and -x command line switches for specifying a file on the command line, you must use one of the following formats for the file name.

For example, for the -c (Configuration File) command line switch:

...

...

Syntax

Description

...

DD Name

...

-c dd:ddname

...

Note

IBM’s z/OS Language Environment (LE) interprets the first forward slash (/) in a parameter string as a separator between parameters meant for LE and parameters meant for the program being executed. To avoid confusion, parameters which contain a forward slash should be enclosed in double quotes. For instance agent-type=z/OS should be agent-type=”z/OS”.


Command Line Options

When UAGCMDZ is executed as a batch program, command line parameters are specified with the step PARM keyword.

For example:

Panel
 //STEP01   EXEC PGM=UAGCMDZ,
 //  PARM='ops-agent-status -c dd:CMDOPTS agent-type=windows'

Syntax for Options That Accept File Names: -a, -c, -e, and -x

If you use the -a, -c, -e, and -x command line switches for specifying a file on the command line, you must use one of the following formats for the file name.

For example, for the -c (Configuration File) command line switch:

Format

Syntax

Description

DD Name

-c dd:ddname

ddname references a DD statement that exists in your batch JCL.

Dataset Name

-c "//'dsname'"

-c "//'pdsname(mbr)'"

dsname is a fully-qualified dataset name which may be a partitioned dataset with a member name.

HFS File Name-c “/path/to/file/fname”

A fully-qualified path to a file located on the hierarchical z/OS Unix File System, where /path/to/file is the complete path to the file and fname is the name of the file.

...

The following example illustrates running UAGCMDZ as a batch job to request the status of all Windows Agents.

Panel

In this example:

The step PARM value specifies the CLI function and its options.

The job step can include only one function.

The STEPLIB points to the z/OS Agent load library.

The output will be in SYSPRINT.

CMDOPTS is a DDNAME that references the location of the function parameters.

...

 //jobname  JOB (acctg-info),'your name',MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
 //             CLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
 //*
 //STEP01   EXEC PGM=UAGCMDZ,
 // PARM='ops-agent-status -c dd:CMDOPTS agent-type=windows'
 //STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=UNV.SUNVLOAD
 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
 //SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
 //CMDOPTS  DD DSN=USER.PARM(CMDOPTS),DISP=SHR
 //CEEDUMP  DD SYSOUT=*

In this example:

The step PARM value specifies the CLI function and its options.

The job step can include only one function.

The STEPLIB points to the z/OS Agent load library.

The output will be in SYSPRINT.

CMDOPTS is a DDNAME that references the location of the function parameters.
