Set metadata with CCC

Prerequisites

Before setting metadata using CCC, you must first follow the steps outlined in Setting up a CCC node to ensure your scripting node is properly connected to the domain and approved.

Defining metadata

Metadata is defined in a properties-style file. By default, the file used is called metadata.properties, but this can be changed using an optional argument.

The format of the file is simple key=value pairs separated by line breaks or semicolons. Here is an example:

env=prod
team=finance
costcenter=EU

Executing the script

The metadata update is run using the metadata.script file found in the CCC script package.

Basic command (using default file):

./ccc.sh metadata.script --instance=mydb01

Command using a custom metadata file:

./ccc.sh metadata.script --instance=mydb01 --file=my_metadata.properties

Parameters supported

If the script completes successfully, the specified metadata will be updated for the instance in the dbWatch Control Center domain.
