2. How to compress/uncompress command via ferret in batch mode
If we want to compress/uncompress many table then manually do it one by one will take time. Following way we can compress/uncomress tables in many database at once.
Run cnsrun command on PDN to run ferret in batch mode:
# cnsrun -utility ferret -file command.txt -log uncompress.log -nostop -prompt '>' &
Describe UNCOMPRESS command in 'command.txt' like below:
uncompress /Y "DB1.*"
uncompress /Y "DB2.*"
...
quit
"databasename.*" specifies all tables in the database.
you can see the progress in file 'uncompress.log'
NOTE: you cannot abort un/compression when you run ferret in batch mode.
You can abort compress/uncompress command when you run it in interactive mode.
But ferret just goes to the next table when you run the command at database level.
e.g. you run compress /y "DB1.*" to compress all tables in DB1 and you abort it while compressing DB1.Tbl1
ferret just goes to compress the next table(e.g. DB1.Tbl2). ABORT command does not abort entire compress operation.
