Using ADRCI in Batch Mode

Batch mode enables you to run a series of ADRCI commands at once, without being prompted for input. To use batch mode, you add a command line parameter to the ADRCI command when you start ADRCI. Batch mode enables you to include ADRCI commands in shell scripts or Windows batch files. Like interactive mode, the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables must be set before starting ADRCI.

The following command line parameters are available for batch operation:

Table 17-1 ADRCI Command Line Parameters for Batch Operation

Parameter	Description
`EXEC`	Enables you to submit one or more ADRCI commands on the operating system command line that starts ADRCI. Commands are separated by semicolons (;).
`SCRIPT`	Enables you to run a script containing ADRCI commands.

To submit ADRCI commands on the command line:

Enter the following command at the operating system command prompt:
```
ADRCI EXEC="COMMAND[; COMMAND]..."
```
For example, to run the SHOW HOMES command in batch mode, enter the following command at the operating system command prompt:
```
ADRCI EXEC="SHOW HOMES"
```
To run the SHOW HOMES command followed by the SHOW INCIDENT command, enter the following:
```
ADRCI EXEC="SHOW HOMES; SHOW INCIDENT"
```

To run ADRCI scripts:

Enter the following command at the operating system command prompt:
```
ADRCI SCRIPT=SCRIPT_FILE_NAME
```
For example, to run a script file named adrci_script.txt, enter the following command at the operating system command prompt:
```
ADRCI SCRIPT=adrci_script.txt
```
A script file contains a series of commands separated by semicolons (;) or line breaks, such as:

SET HOMEPATH diag/rdbms/orcl/orcl; SHOW ALERT -term
