ccmdb pa|pack database_path [/t|/to packfile]
The ccmdb pack commands archives information from the metadata and file systems of the database. They do not back up work areas. Users with copy-based work areas must reconcile changes before the administrator runs the backup. If the reconcile is not done, changes to work areas must be backed up separately. Packed files have the extension .cpk.
You can move a database from a UNIX server to a Windows server by packing the database using the ccmdb pack command, and vice versa. However, you must run ccmdb upgrade /w after moving from Windows to UNIX.
The database is locked while a pack is in progress, which prevents users from changing data in the Rational® Synergy database during a pack. Users receive a message that the database is locked because it is being packed.
The maximum size of a pack file produced by ccmdb pack is limited by the destination file system.
The user for this command is the Rational Synergy administrator.
Generate a pack file called test_ccm.cpk under the c:\data\ccmdb directory.
> ccmdb pack \\bulldog\ccmdb\test.ccm /to
c:\data\ccmdb\test_ccm.cpk
Use the ccmdb backup command for scheduled backups.
