Performing Software Library Tasks Using EM CLI Verbs or in Graphical Mode

You can perform some of the console-based Software Library operations using the command line utility and its Software Library verbs.

The following table describes both approaches to perform some of the Software Library tasks:

Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI)
Enterprise Manager Graphical User Interface (EM GUI)

Note:

For more information about the syntax and usage of the EM CLI verbs described in Table 3-3,along with workflow examples, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Lifecycle Management Administrator’s Guide.

Adding a Software Library storage location	`add_swlib_storage_location`	Configuring an OMS Shared File system Location Configuring an OMS Agent File system Location Configuring a Referenced File Location
Creating a Software Library entity	`create_swlib_entity`	Creating Generic Components Creating Directives
Creating a Software Library folder	`create_swlib_folder`	Organizing Entities
Listing the Software Library entities	`list_swlib_entities`	Accessing Software Library Home Page Searching Entities
Listing Software Library entity types	`list_swlib_entity_types`	NA
Listing Software Library entity subtypes	`list_swlib_entity_subtypes`	NA
Listing Software Library folders	`list_swlib_folders`	NA
Listing Software Library storage locations	`list_swlib_storage_locations`	Accessing Software Library Administration Page
Referring files from a Software Library entity	`refer_swlib_entity_files`	Creating Entities Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Re-Importing Software Library metadata	`reimport_swlib_metadata`	Re-Importing Oracle Owned Entity Files
Removing a Software Library storage location	`remove_swlib_storage_location`	Removing (and Migrating) Software Library Storage Location
Modifying a Software Library entity	`update_swlib_entity`	Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Uploading files to a Software Library entity	`upload_swlib_entity_files`	Creating Entities Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Modifying a Software Library OMS Agent storage location to change the associated OMS Host and the credential for accessing the location.	`switch_swlib_oms_agent_storage`	NA
Verifying the files uploaded to software library, and reporting the missing files in the storage locations. This action is typically initiated when some provisioning/patching/deployment activity fails due to missing file in the associated storage location.	`verify_swlib`	NA
Staging one or more files associated with an entity revision available in the Software Library to a file system location on a host target.	`stage_swlib_entity_files`	Staging Entities
Staging one or more files associated with an entity revision in the Software Library to the local file system of a host not monitored by an EM Agent.	`stage_swlib_entity_files_local`	Staging Entities
Creating an entity of the `Directive` type in the Software Library. On successful creation, the entity revision appears in the specified folder on the Software Library Home page.	`create_swlib_directive_entity`	Creating Directives
Modifying an entity of the `Directive` type in the Software Library. A new revision of the entity is created by default. Changing only the description or attribute values do not create a new revision, and such changes are visible across all existing revisions of the entity	`update_swlib_directive_entity`	Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Listing all the details of an entity revision.	`get_swlib_entity_details`	Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Entities
Exporting files of Software Library entities to be imported on a cache node as cached files.	`export_swlib_cache_files`	Exporting and Importing Files for Cache Nodes
Importing Software Library entity files from a compressed file to a cache node.	`import_swlib_cache_files`	Exporting and Importing Files for Cache Nodes
Invoking resynchronize for one or all cache nodes.	`resync_swlib_cache`	Synchronizing the Cache Nodes
