CLI operation

You can initialize a database to use DCM. THIS IS A GUESS ABOUT WHAT THE CLI INITIALIZE COMMAND WILL CONTAIN. SEE THE SPEC!

Before you begin

The current database must be initialized to use DCM.

You must be working as the administrator to use the -init option.

About this task

ccm dcm -d|-delete -dbid|-database_id database_spec...
-dbid|-database_id new_database_id
Specifies the DCM database identifier for the new database definition. The new_database_id cannot be longer than 8 characters and must be unique in a DCM cluster. In a cluster using lowercase databases, identifiers should be unique without respect to case. For example, do not use "a" and "A" for two different definitions.

See DCM restrictions for details on naming restrictions for DCM databases.

-init
(Taken from old 6.3 CC help) Initializes the specified database to the specified database ID and DCM delimiter.

You must use the -dbid option if you are initializing a database that has not previously been initalized for use with DCM. If the database has been initialized for use with DCM, you can omit -dbid; if specified, the value must match that of the current database ID. Similarly, when you use the -init option to reinitialize a DCM database, the -delim option, if specified, must match that of the current database.
