Generating a Configuration Report on the Base Installation

When you use cdcustrpt to generate a report on the base IBM® Connect:Direct® installation, it reports the following types of system information:

  • Name and other information of the operating system
  • Space on file systems
  • Virtual memory statistics
  • Contents of the IBM Connect:Direct installation directory

In addition to reporting system information, cdcustrpt invokes the Configuration Checking Utility (cfgcheck) to validate the syntax of the five text-based configuration files (if they are available and if the user has access to the files) and to report on the contents of the configuration files. For more information on cfgcheck, see Validate Configuration Files.

In this procedure, default values are computed by the utility based on the location and name of the installed IBM Connect:Direct and are provided in brackets “[ ]”. Press Enter to accept the default values.

To invoke cducustrpt and generate a report of the base installation:

  1. Type the following command at a UNIX prompt: 
    % cdcustrpt
  2. Type the full path where IBM Connect:Direct is installed and press Enter.
  3. Type the full path and name for the report that will be generated and press Enter.

    The report is generated in the location you specified, and any error messages are displayed as shown in the following example:

    % cdcustrpt

Enter full path of Connect:Direct destination directory:[/sci/users/jbrown1/cd40]:

Enter full path and name for this support report file:[/sci/users/jbrown1/cd40/etc/
cd.support.rpt]:

ls: /sci/users/jbrown1/cd40/ndm/SACL: Permission denied

cdcustrpt ended

    In this example, the user does not have root access, so the Strong Access Control File (sysacl.cfg) can not be accessed. The following example shows an excerpt from a sample report:
