Creates and deletes single file recovery instances. Syntax sfr_instances [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] [-d=datasettype] [-ou=owning-user] [-og=owning-group] [-v=volume-name [-ib=any-previous-backupLabel] -b=new-backup-label [-f=function] {create | delete | list} [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files.
