How to Use the AutoUpgrade Console

The AutoUpgrade Console provides a set of commands to monitor the progress of AutoUpgrade jobs. The console starts by default when you run the AutoUpgrade utility, and is enabled or disabled by the parameters console and noconsole.

In console mode, the AutoUpgrade Console enables you to run commands to monitor specific aspects of your AutoUpgrade jobs while they are running on your systems.

Note:

You can run only one AutoUpgrade instance at a time.

In this example, AutoUpgrade is run in Analyze mode, using the configuration file in noconsole mode.

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config autoupgrade.cfg -mode analyze -noconsole

Using the noconsole mode turns off requirements for user input, so it is suitable for use with scripts.

In this example, AutoUpgrade is run in Analyze mode, and the console is turned on again with the -console option:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config autoupgrade.cfg -mode analyze -console

Console user input is again resumed.
