scxmldump

Dump database objects to XML files.

Description

scxmldump reads various parameters from a SeisComP database:

• Availability,

• Config (bindings parameters),

• Event parameters,

• Inventory,

• Journal,

• Routing.

The parameters are sent to stdout or written into an XML (SCML) file.

Note

Waveform quality control (QC) parameters can be read from databases using scqcquery.

Event parameters

To get event, origin or pick information from the database without using SQL commands is an important task for the user. scxmldump queries the database and transforms that information into XML. Events and origins can be treated further by scbulletin for generating bulletins or conversion into KML.

Many processing modules, e.g., scevent support the on-demand processing of dumped event parameters by the command-line option --ep. Importing event parameters into another database is possible with scdb and sending to a SeisComP messaging is provided by scdispatch.

Hint

Events, origins and picks are referred to by their public IDs. IDs of events and origins can be provided by scevtls and scorgls, respectively. Event, origin and pick IDs can also be read from graphical tools like scolv or used database queries assisted by scquery.

Format conversion

Conversion of SCML into other formats is supported by sccnv. An XSD schema of the XML output can be found under $SEISCOMP_ROOT/share/xml/.

Examples

Dump inventory

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

Dump config (bindings parameters)

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

Dump full event data incl. the relevant journal entries

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

Dump summary event data

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

Create bulletin from an event

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

Copy event parameters to another database

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. Wildcards are supported. Format of each item: net[.{sta|*}].

-C, --config

Dump the configuration (bindings).

-J, --journal

Dump the journal. In combination with -E only corresponding journal entries are included.

-R, --routing

Dump the routing.

-Y, --availability

Dump data availability information.

--with-segments

Dump individual data segments.

--pick ID

Pick public ID(s) to dump. Multiple IDs may be specified as a comma-separated list.

-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

Add picks associated to origins.

-A, --with-amplitudes

Add amplitudes associated to magnitudes.

-M, --with-magnitudes

Add station magnitudes associated to origins.

-F, --with-focal-mechanism

Add focal mechanisms associated to 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

Name of output file. If not given, output is sent to stdout.

--prepend-datasize

Prepend a line with the length of the XML data.
