Use an argument file

You can save all arguments passed for the Image Tool in a file, then use the file as a parameter.

For example, create a file called build_args:

inspect
--image wls:12.2.1.4.0
--patches

Use the argument file on the command line, as follows:

$ imagetool @/path/to/build_args

Usage scenarios

Inspect an image created with the create command where the latest PSU was applied.

$ imagetool.sh inspect --image example:12214 --patches

The output will be in JSON format and will be similar to:

{
  "oraclePatches" : [
    {
      "patch" : "xxxxxxx",
      "description" : "WLS PATCH SET UPDATE 12.2.1.4.xxxxxxx"
    }
  ],
  "javaHome" : "/u01/jdk",
  "javaVersion" : "1.8.0_xxx",
  "opatchVersion" : "13.9.4.2.5",
  "oracleHome" : "/u01/oracle",
  "oracleHomeGroup" : "oracle",
  "oracleHomeUser" : "oracle",
  "oracleInstalledProducts" : "WLS,COH,TOPLINK",
  "packageManager" : "YUM",
  "wlsVersion" : "12.2.1.4.0"
}

Inspect the same image without the optional --patches switch.

$ imagetool.sh inspect --image example:12214

The output will be in JSON format and will be similar to:

{
  "javaHome" : "/u01/jdk",
  "javaVersion" : "1.8.0_xxx",
  "oracleHome" : "/u01/oracle",
  "oracleHomeGroup" : "oracle",
  "oracleHomeUser" : "oracle",
  "oracleInstalledProducts" : "WLS,COH,TOPLINK",
  "packageManager" : "YUM",
  "wlsVersion" : "12.2.1.4.0"
}
