streamtool cpinstance

Usage

cpinstance [-d,--domain-id <did>] [-i,--instance-id <instance>] -t,--to-instance-id <instance> [--property <name=value>] ... [-U,--User <user>] [-h,--help] [--trace <level>] [-v,--verbose <level>] [--zkconnect {<host>:<port>},... | --embeddedzk]

The streamtool cpinstance command copies the instance configuration to a new instance.

Authority

You must have add authority for the instances domain object. You must also have write authority for the config instance object and search authority for the instance object for the instance. By default, the DomainAdministrator role has this authority. For more information about access control lists, see streamtool getdomainacl and streamtool getacl commands.

Description

The original configuration is left in place and a new instance is created based on the original instance. The new instance and the original instance are managed independently.

To override a configuration property in the target instance, use the --propertyname=value option. For a description of the instance configuration properties, run streamtool man properties.

Options

-d,--domain-id <did>
Specifies the domain identifier.

If you do not specify this option, Streams uses the domain name that is set in the STREAMS_DOMAIN_ID environment variable. By default, that domain name is StreamsDomain. If you are using the interactive streamtool interface, it uses the name of the active domain for the current streamtool session or else it prompts you for the domain name.

The active domain for the current streamtool session is set every time that you successfully run a streamtool command with a -d or --domain-id option. Alternatively, you can run the streamtool domain command in the interactive interface.

--embeddedzk

Specifies to use the embedded copy of ZooKeeper. This option is not supported within the interactive streamtool interface.

If you are not using the interactive streamtool interface and you do not specify either this option or the --zkconnect option, Streams uses the ZooKeeper connection that is associated with the active domain or the domain that is specified in the --domain-id option. Streams determines which connection maps to the domain by using cached information about the domains. In this scenario, if the domain identifier is not unique in the Streams configuration cache, the command fails.

-h,--help
Specifies to show the command syntax.
-i,--instance-id <instance>
Specifies the instance identifier.

If you do not specify this option, Streams uses the instance identifier that is set in the STREAMS_INSTANCE_ID environment variable. By default, that instance identifier is StreamsInstance. If you are using the interactive streamtool interface, it tries to use an instance ID that you specified in a previous command. If no such value is found, the command uses the STREAMS_INSTANCE_ID environment variable. Alternatively, you can run the streamtool instance command in the interactive interface.

--property <name=value>
Specifies a property name and value pair to add to or change in the configuration. This option can be specified multiple times and has an additive effect.
-t,--to-instance-id <instance>
Specifies the instance identifier for the target instance.
--trace <level>
Specifies the trace setting. The following valid levels are listed in order of increasing verbosity, which is to say that the first level in the list generates the least amount of information:
  • off
  • error
  • warn
  • info
  • debug
  • trace
The default value is off.
-U,--User <user>
Specifies an Streams user ID that has authority to run the command.
-v,--verbose <level>
Specifies to provide more detailed command output. The verbosity level can be 0-3, where 0 disables detailed reporting and each increment provides more detailed output.
--zkconnect <{<host>:<port>},...>

The name of one or more host and port pairs that specify the configured ZooKeeper servers. This option is not supported within the interactive streamtool interface.

If you are not using the interactive streamtool interface and you do not specify this option, Streams tries to use:

  1. The --embeddedzk option
  2. The value from the STREAMS_ZKCONNECT environment variable
  3. A ZooKeeper connection string that is derived from cached information about the current domain.
