Database Copy Command
Use the database copy (dbcopy.pl) command to create a copy of an existing Contenta database.
Note: Users cannot be attached to the database when this command is issued. See Contenta Sessions Command for information about displaying and clearing user sessions.
Note: The optional -datapump switch uses Oracle’s Data Pump utilities, which must be configured before this switch may be used. See Configuring Oracle Data Pump for use with Contenta.
Note: When dbcopy.pl is used with the -datapump switch, the database copy behavior changes as follows:
- Database dump files are created on the Oracle server, not the client.
- Oracle log files are created (by dbcopy.pl) on the Oracle server, not the client.
- These server-side files require an existing Oracle Directory Object, which may be specified on the command line.
