Before you run the command, note the following points:

applycollectionprofilestohost -d <hostName> -p <portNumber> -u <userName> -w <password> -host <targetHost> -cp <listOfCollectionProfiles> -agent <associatedAgent> [-l <locale>] [-y] [-s]

  • Angle brackets (< >) indicate a variable value that needs to be user defined.

  • Square brackets ([ ]) indicate optional parameters.

The following table describes the parameters used in the syntax:

ParameterDescription

Port number of the Console Server.
-u
User name to use to connect with the Console Server.

-host

Name of the host with which you want to associate the collection profiles.

This name should be the same as it appears on the Administration > Hosts page.

-cp

Name of the collection profiles that you want to associate with the host.

If the collection profile that you want to associate is imported via a content pack, then you need to specify the name in the format, "<collectionProfileName> [<contentPackName>]." For example, to associate a collection profile "OracleCP" imported via the content pack "Database Pack", you need to specify, OracleCP [Database Pack]

To associate multiple collection profiles, you can provide a comma-separated list of names.

Note: You can associate only those collection profiles that are already created.

-agent

Name of the Collection Station or Collection Agent provided associated with the host.

This name should be the same as it appears on the Administration > Hosts page.

You can set one of the following locales:

The value can be set to one of the following depending on the locale you choose:

  • German: de
  • French: fr

Example: If you want to set the locale as Simplified Chinese, you need to specify, l=chs.
