These options enable you to issue the command on a remote machine and to script commands that include a login name, password, port number, or combination of those items.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| on host |
Execute the command on a remote system (one other than the one where the current sp_ctrl session is running). You are prompted for login credentials for the remote system. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on SysA |
| on host:portnumber |
Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login and port number must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on SysA:8304 |
| on login/password@host |
Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login, password, and host name must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on john/spot5489@SysA |
| on login/password@host:portnumber |
Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login, password, host name, and port number must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on john/spot5489@SysA:8304 |
job status
Use the job status command to view the status of the last compare, compare using, repair, repair using, copy or append job, and for any other jobs that are still running. The job status command can be used to view detailed status on a job or a portion of a job, or to view status on all jobs for which SharePlex has history. SharePlex retains the history for all jobs as specified by the SP_SYS_JOB_HISTORY_RETENTION parameter. See the clear history and remove log commands for information on actively removing history and/or job process logs.

| status |
Displays status history for previous jobs with the specified status. sp_ctrl(SysA)> job status “Error” |

list config
Use the list config command to view a list of all active and inactive configurations on a source system. The command displays the following information:
- File Name: The name of the configuration, the time and date that it was modified, and the size of the file.
- State: Whether the configuration is active or inactive. Active means the configuration file is currently involved in replication. Inactive means the configuration is not currently involved in replication.
- Datasource: The Oracle instance containing the objects being replicated by the configuration.
- Internal Name: The name of the internal copy of the active configuration. This is the file that SharePlex actually replicates from. Its name is displayed under the State heading wherever there is an active configuration.

list param
Use the list param command to display SharePlex tuning parameters. Without options, the command displays the basic (user configurable) parameters and their current settings. Options are available for displaying:
- All SharePlex parameters, including those that should not be changed by a SharePlex user (internal parameters).
- Only the basic and internal parameters whose settings have been changed from their default values. (These settings are recorded in the SharePlex variable-data directory.)
-
Either of the preceding options filtered according to the SharePlex module.
Parameters are grouped by module, each module representing a functional component of the software. The following table lists the modules that contain user-configurable parameters (which can be changed without guidance from Quest).
SharePlex parameter modules
| Module | Naming convention | Function controlled |
|---|---|---|
| analyze | SP_ANL | analyze config command |
| capture | SP_OCT | Capture process |
| compare | SP_DEQ | compare commands |
| config | SP_OCF | configuration activation process |
| cop | SP_COP | sp_cop |
| export | SP_XPT | Export process |
| import | SP_IMP | Import process |
| logging | SP_SLG | the SNMP feature |
| post | SP_OPO | Post process |
| open | SP_OPX | Open Target Post process |
| queue | SP_QUE | the SharePlex queues |
| read | SP_ORD | Read process |
| SNMP | SP_SNMP | SNMP support |
| sync | SP_OSY | the copy/ append commands |
| system | SP_SYS | system-related items |
Each list param display provides the parameter’s:
- Name
- Actual Value: the parameter’s current setting and its default value, if different.
- Units: the parameter’s unit of measurement, such as seconds, kilobytes, or operations.
- Set-At point: the point where the parameter becomes active when you issue the set param command, either immediately after the parameter is set, after the affected process is restarted, or after sp_cop is restarted.
See Descriptions of user-configurable parameters for more information about SharePlex parameters.
