Oracle ACFS Command-Line Tools for Replication

Table 16-29 contains a summary of the commands for Oracle ACFS replication. For an overview of Oracle ACFS replication, refer to "Oracle ACFS Replication".

You can run acfsutil help on all platforms to display help text. You can run acfsutil version on all platforms to display the Oracle ACFS version.

When the options are entered with commands on a Windows platform, use / instead of - with the option. For example, you can display help for acfsutil on a Linux platform with acfsutil -h. On a Windows platform, use acfsutil /h.

A mount point on a Windows operating system can be a drive letter or a directory including the drive letter. When using a drive letter in a command, include the backslash (\) with the drive letter, such as in M:\, to avoid the possibility of triggering a Windows path substitution to the last accessed path on the specified drive.

You must use a trailing backslash when specifying a drive letter mount point with replication commands on Windows platforms. For example, use p:\ (not p:) for a drive letter mount point. If the trailing backslash is omitted, this could trigger a Windows path substitution mechanism that replaces the drive letter with the last accessed path on that drive.
