  1. From the <precise_root> folder on the main Precise FocalPoint, run the following query command to retrieve the instance ID:
    Windows    infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
                        -i3-user <user_name>
                        {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                        -action get-instance-id
                        -technology <technology_code>
                       -instance <instance_name>
                       -server <server_name>
    UNIX          ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
                      -i3-user <user_name>
                      {-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
                      -action get-instance-id
                      -technology <technology_code>
                      -instance <instance_name>
                      -server <server_name>
