IPS GET METADATA

Purpose

Extracts ADR-related metadata from a package file and displays it.

Syntax and Description

ips get metadata {from file filename | from adr}

filename is a package zip file. The metadata in a package file (stored in the file metadata.xml) contains information about the ADR home, ADR base, and product.

Use the from adr option to get the metadata from a package zip file that has been unpacked into an ADR home using IPS UNPACK.

The from adr option requires an ADR home to be set.

Example

This example displays metadata from a package file:

ips get metadata from file /home/steve/ORA603_20060906165316_COM_1.zip

This next example displays metadata from a package file that was unpacked into the directory /scratch/oracle/package1:

set base /scratch/oracle/package1
ips get metadata from adr

In this previous example, upon receiving the SET BASE command, ADRCI automatically adds to the homepath the ADR home that was created in /scratch/oracle/package1 by the IPS UNPACK FILE command.
