scxmldump¶

Dump database objects to XML files.

Description¶

To get event information from the database without using SQL is an important task for the user. scxmldump queries the database and transforms that information into XML. The result can be converted into a bulletin with scbulletin or imported into another database with scdb.

An XSD schema of the XML output can be found under $SEISCOMP_ROOT/share/xml/.

Examples¶

Export inventory

scxmldump -fI -o inventory.xml -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp

Export configuration

scxmldump -fC -o config.xml -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp

Export full event data incl. the relevant journal entries

scxmldump -fPAMFJ -E test2012abcd -o test2012abcd.xml \
          -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp

Export summary event data

scxmldump -fap -E test2012abcd -o test2012abcd.xml \
          -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp

Create bulletin

scxmldump -fPAMF -E test2012abcd
          -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp | \
scbulletin

Copy event

scxmldump -fPAMF -E test2012abcd \
          -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp | \
scdb -i - -d mysql://sysop:sysop@archive-db/seiscomp

Export the entire journal:

scxmldump -fJ -o journal.xml \
          -d mysql://sysop:sysop@localhost/seiscomp

Command-Line Options¶

scxmldump [options]

Generic¶

-h, --help¶: Show help message.

-V, --version¶: Show version information.

--config-file arg¶: Use alternative configuration file. When this option is used the loading of all stages is disabled. Only the given configuration file is parsed and used. To use another name for the configuration create a symbolic link of the application or copy it. Example: scautopick -> scautopick2.

--plugins arg¶: Load given plugins.

-D, --daemon¶: Run as daemon. This means the application will fork itself and doesn’t need to be started with &.

--auto-shutdown arg¶: Enable/disable self-shutdown because a master module shutdown. This only works when messaging is enabled and the master module sends a shutdown message (enabled with –start-stop-msg for the master module).

--shutdown-master-module arg¶: Set the name of the master-module used for auto-shutdown. This is the application name of the module actually started. If symlinks are used, then it is the name of the symlinked application.

--shutdown-master-username arg¶: Set the name of the master-username of the messaging used for auto-shutdown. If “shutdown-master-module” is given as well, this parameter is ignored.

Verbosity¶

--verbosity arg¶: Verbosity level [0..4]. 0:quiet, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:info, 4:debug.

-v, --v¶: Increase verbosity level (may be repeated, eg. -vv).

-q, --quiet¶: Quiet mode: no logging output.

--component arg¶: Limit the logging to a certain component. This option can be given more than once.

-s, --syslog¶: Use syslog logging backend. The output usually goes to /var/lib/messages.

-l, --lockfile arg¶: Path to lock file.

--console arg¶: Send log output to stdout.

--debug¶: Execute in debug mode. Equivalent to –verbosity=4 –console=1 .

--log-file arg¶: Use alternative log file.

Messaging¶

-u, --user arg¶: Overrides configuration parameter connection.username.

-H, --host arg¶: Overrides configuration parameter connection.server.

-t, --timeout arg¶: Overrides configuration parameter connection.timeout.

-g, --primary-group arg¶: Overrides configuration parameter connection.primaryGroup.

-S, --subscribe-group arg¶: A group to subscribe to. This option can be given more than once.

--content-type arg¶: Overrides configuration parameter connection.contentType.

--start-stop-msg arg¶: Set sending of a start and a stop message.

Database¶

--db-driver-list¶: List all supported database drivers.

-d, --database arg¶: The database connection string, format: service://user:pwd@host/database. “service” is the name of the database driver which can be queried with “–db-driver-list”.

--config-module arg¶: The config module to use.

--inventory-db arg¶: Load the inventory from the given database or file, format: [service://]location .

--config-db arg¶: Load the configuration from the given database or file, format: [service://]location .

Dump¶

--listen¶: Enable server mode which listens to the message server for incoming events and dumps each received add/update.

-I, --inventory¶: Dump the inventory.

--without-station-groups¶: Remove all station groups from inventory.

--stations sta-list¶: If inventory is exported filter the stations to export where each item is in format net[.{sta|*}].

-C, --config¶: Dump the configuration database.

-J, --journal¶: Dump the journal. In combination with -E only corresponding journal entries are included.

-R, --routing¶: Dump the routing database.

-Y, --availability¶: Dump data availability information.

--with-segments¶: Dump individual data segments.

-O, --origin ID¶: Origin public ID(s) to dump. Multiple origins may be specified as a comma-separated list.

-E, --event ID¶: Event public ID(s) to dump. Multiple events may be specified as a comma-separated list.

-P, --with-picks¶: Dump associated picks along with origins.

-A, --with-amplitudes¶: Dump associated amplitudes along with magnitudes.

-M, --with-magnitudes¶: Dump station magnitudes.

-F, --with-focal-mechanism¶: Dump focal mechanisms of events.

-a, --ignore-arrivals¶: Do not dump arrivals part of origins.

--ignore-magnitudes¶: Do not export (network) magnitudes of origins. This option is most useful in combination with -O to only export the location information.

-p, --preferred-only¶: When exporting events only the preferred origin, the preferred magnitude and the preferred focal mechanism will be dumped.

-m, --all-magnitudes¶: If only the preferred origin is exported, all magnitudes for this origin will be dumped.

Output¶

-f, --formatted¶: Use formatted XML output. Otherwise all XML is printed on one line.

-o, --output¶: The output file. Default is stdout.

--prepend-datasize¶: Prepend a line with the length of the XML data.
