Interpret the cdr utility syntax

The cdr utility uses specific terminology and conventions.

Each cdr command follows the same approximate format, with the following components:
  • Command and its variation

    The command specifies the action that is taken.

  • Options

    The options modify the action of the command. Each option starts with a minus (-) or a double-minus (--).

  • Target

    The target specifies the Enterprise Replication object that is acted upon.

  • Other objects

    Other objects specify objects that are affected by the change to the target.

If you enter an incorrect cdr command at the command-line prompt, the database server returns a usage message that summarizes the cdr commands. For a more detailed usage message, enter cdr variation -h. For example, cdr list server -h.
