This is how I generate a list of all the Devices that need to be part of the Server.

ddlgen -Usa -S $server -P $password -TDBD -N% -O $dis_rec_dir/$server.devices.sql

This will gather all the DDL for all devices and place them in the dis_rec_dir folder in a file called servername.devices.sql. In the case of a disaster, now I can just run this script and all the devices, as long as the raw files are available, will be added to the server.

Here is what I am doing to get all the Database Create DDL.

ddlgen -Usa -P $password -S $server -D $db -TDB -F% -O $dis_rec_dir/create.$db.sql

This will gather the DDL for all databases on the server and put them into the dis_rec_dir in a file called create.databasename.sql. Now I can run this script to create the database on the server on all the correct devices and with data and log on the correct devices.

The script is written so that it will loop thru and generate the DDL for all databases on the server.

ddlgen -U username -S servername -TDBD -N% -O outputfilename

That is simple enough to do and man it works great. This will get you the DDL needed to init all of the devices on the instance.  Now I need to get the DDL to create all of the databases. For this I wrote a little shell script to get a listing of all the databases and then do the ddl gen for each. Here is that.

#!/bin/ksh
dblist=`isql -S servername -Usa << endit | tail +4
password
use master
go
set nocount on
go
select name
from sysdatabases
go
exit
endit
`
echo $dblist
for db in $dblist
do
ddlgen -Usa  -SCIRC_DBA -D $db -TDB -F% -O $db.definitions.out

password
done
