monitor command

The monitor command continuously tracks changes to Oracle talbes and anchors changes to the blockchain

The monitor command continuously tracks changes to Oracle talbes and anchors changes to the blockchain.

The monitor command wakes at a specified interval and discovers - using flashback queries - whether any changes have been applied to nominated tables since the last execution. Any changes will be hashed and anchored to the nominated blockchain.

❗️

Note

The monitor command relies heavily on Oracle Flashback technology. The table must either be managed by a Flashback archive, or the undo_retention setting must be sufficient to allow the anchor command to retrieve changes since it's last execution

Usage

% provendb-oracle monitor --help
Monitor the database for changes.

USAGE
  $ provendb-oracle monitor

OPTIONS
  -i, --interval=interval  [default: 120] polling interval
  -v, --verbose            increased logging verbosity
  --config=config          config file location
  --tables=tables          (required) tables to anchor

DESCRIPTION
  Monitor checks tables listed in the configuration file for changes.   
  Any changes to rows found will be anchored to the blockchain defined
  in the configuration file.

--interval	Interval between sampling intervals. When all rows are anchored, monitor will pause this long before looking for new changes. THe polling interval may be interrupted by a DBMS_ALERT with the topic provendb_alert.
--config	Configuration file which contains Oracle and provenDB configuration see Configuration file Reference
--tables	Table(s) that are to be anchored. This argument can be specified multiple times to anchor multiple tables.

% provendb-oracle monitor  --config=myConfigFile.yaml --tables=MYPROVENDBDEMO.CONTRACTSTABLEFBDA
