# Data Tools
You can use the Artemis CLI to execute data maintenance tools:
This is a list of sub-commands available
Name | Description
---|---
exp | Export the message data using a special and independent XML format
imp | Imports the journal to a running broker using the output from expt
data | Prints a report about journal records and summary of existent records, as well a report on paging
encode | shows an internal format of the journal encoded to String
decode | imports the internal journal format from encode
You can use the help at the tool for more information on how to execute each of the tools. For example:
```
$ ./artemis help data print
NAME
artemis data print - Print data records information (WARNING: don't use
while a production server is running)
SYNOPSIS
artemis data print [--bindings <binding>] [--broker <brokerConfig>]
[--f] [--jdbc] [--jdbc-bindings-table-name <jdbcBindings>]
[--jdbc-connection-url <jdbcURL>]
[--jdbc-driver-class-name <jdbcClassName>]
[--jdbc-large-message-table-name <jdbcLargeMessages>]
[--jdbc-message-table-name <jdbcMessages>]
[--jdbc-page-store-table-name <jdbcPageStore>] [--journal <journal>]
[--large-messages <largeMessges>] [--output <output>]
[--paging <paging>] [--safe] [--verbose] [--] [<configuration>]
OPTIONS
--bindings <binding>
The folder used for bindings (default from broker.xml)
--broker <brokerConfig>
This would override the broker configuration from the bootstrap
--f
This will allow certain tools like print-data to be performed
ignoring any running servers. WARNING: Changing data concurrently
with a running broker may damage your data. Be careful with this
option.
--jdbc
It will activate jdbc
--jdbc-bindings-table-name <jdbcBindings>
Name of the jdbc bindigns table
--jdbc-connection-url <jdbcURL>
The connection used for the database
--jdbc-driver-class-name <jdbcClassName>
JDBC driver classname
--jdbc-large-message-table-name <jdbcLargeMessages>
Name of the large messages table
--jdbc-message-table-name <jdbcMessages>
Name of the jdbc messages table
--jdbc-page-store-table-name <jdbcPageStore>
Name of the page sotre messages table
--journal <journal>
The folder used for messages journal (default from broker.xml)
--large-messages <largeMessges>
The folder used for large-messages (default from broker.xml)
--output <output>
Output name for the file
--paging <paging>
The folder used for paging (default from broker.xml)
--safe
It will print your data structure without showing your data
--verbose
Adds more information on the execution
--
This option can be used to separate command-line options from the
list of argument, (useful when arguments might be mistaken for
command-line options
<configuration>
Broker Configuration URI, default
'xml:${ARTEMIS_INSTANCE}/etc/bootstrap.xml'
```
