ovconfget()							   ovconfget()

NAME
       ovconfget  -  returns specified attributes from the configuration data‐
       base.

SYNOPSIS
       ovconfget  -h | -help

       ovconfget  -version

       ovconfget  [-ovrg <OVRG>] [<namespace> [<attr>]]

DESCRIPTION
       Installed OpenView components have  associated  configuration  settings
       files  that contain one or more namespaces and apply system wide or for
       a specified OV Resource Group. A namespace is a group of	 configuration
       settings	 that  belong  to a component. All configurations specified in
       the settings files are duplicated  in  the  settings.dat	 configuration
       database.

       For each specified namespace, ovconfget returns the specified attribute
       or attributes and writes them to stdout. Used without arguments, ovcon‐
       fget writes all attributes in all namespaces to stdout.

       Parameters

       ovconfget recognizes the following options:

       -h | -help

	      Displays the options for the ovconfget command

       -version

	      Displays the component version

       -ovrg <OVRG>

	      Specifies the named OV Resource Group <OVRG>.

       <namespace> <attr>

	      Obtains  the  specified attribute in the specified namespace for
	      the named OV Resource Group <OVRG> and writes them to stdout. If
	      namespace	 is  used  without  specifying	an  attribute, <attr>,
	      ovconfget writes the contents of the database for the  specified
	      namespace.  If  neither  <attr>  nor  <namespace>	 is specified,
	      ovconfget writes the  complete  contents	of  the	 configuration
	      database to stdout.

FILES
       The  ovconfget  command uses the following files to read configuration-
       database settings:

       ·  <DataDir>/datafiles/xpl/config/settings.dat

       ·  <ShareDir>/<OVRG>/datafiles/xpl/settings.dat

EXAMPLES
       The following examples show how to use the ovconfget command:

       ·  To return the value of the Port attribute in the tst.settings names‐
	  pace, for example: 9012

	  ovconfget tst.settings Port

	  9012

       ·  To  return  all attributes in the tst.settings namespace as multiple
	  lines in the form of attr=value, for example:

	  ovconfget tst.settings

	  Port=9012

	  Protocols=HTTP FTP HTTPS

	  MaxFileSize=128

       To return all attributes in all namespaces on multiple lines, for exam‐
       ple:

       ovconfget

       [tst.lib]

       LibraryPath=/opt/OV/lib:/opt/OV/lbin/tst/var/opt/OV/tmp

       [tst.settings]

       Port=9012

       Protocols=HTTP FTP HTTPS

       MaxFileSize=128
