Command Line Interface

Requirements

In order to run the application, the host needs to have the following installed:

• Java JDK 11 or higher. The version can be checked with java --version.

Run CLI with .jar file

To see the available options when running the CLI, execute the jar file with the --help flag.

> java -jar cli/build/libs/cli-[version].jar --help

Usage: engine-lite [-hV] [-dc] [-dr] [-le] [-c=<config-file>]

Where:

• --input-url and --output-url (required): JDBC URLs of the source and destination databases, e.g. jdbc:postgresql://39.176.0.1:5432/

• --config-file: Configuration file (see configuration file)

• --input-username and --output-username (optional): Username to access the database, if authentication is needed

• --input-password and --output-password (optional): Username’s password to access the database, if authentication is needed

• --input-username-secret, --output-username-secret, --input-password-secret, --output-password-secret (optional): Credentials can be stored in external service, please see credentials to know more about supported formats.

If you need to set additional properties for the CLI, you can create an application.properties file in the same directory as the application JAR file and set values there, e.g. SECRETS.GCP.SECRET.MANAGER.ENABLED = true.
