Work with EMCLI

Starting the work

Initially one have to login - without that the commands are not recognized as valid and even help is reduced

[oracle@host ~]$ emcli help
Summary of commands:


  Basic Administration Verbs
    argfile    -- Execute emcli verbs from a file
    help       -- Get help for emcli verbs (Usage: emcli help [verb_name])
    invoke_ws     -- Invoke EM web service.
    login      -- Login to the EM Management Server (OMS)
    logout     -- Logout from the EM Management Server
    setup      -- Setup emcli to work with an EM Management Server
    status     -- List emcli configuration details
    sync       -- Synchronize with the EM Management Server
    version    -- List emcli verb versions or the emcli client version

  To get the help for a single verb, execute - emcli help  

So we start

[oracle@host ~]$ emcli login -username=sysman
Enter password 

Login successful

Now help looks way more elaborate:

[oracle@host ~]$ emcli help
