Result of running sdcp
Running sdcp
creates a compressed tar archive (“tarball”) in the working
directory (or current directory, if -w
was not specified) containing all of the
data that sdcp
collected from the installation, queue managers, and the
system.
The tarball can then be transferred electronically to IBM Support (using binary mode
ftp
) for analysis.
The sdcp
working directory is used as a location for temporary files created as
data is gathered about the installation. By default, all files created in the working directory have
a common prefix of MQSDCP, followed by the date and time when sdcp
was started, for
example: MQSDCP-170420-123729.
-p
flag is specified, the prefix consists of the PMR number appended with
SDCP
, followed by the date and time when sdcp
was started, for
example:03825,122,000-SDCP-170420-123729
The final tarball is named using the same prefix that was used for the temporary files, followed
by -archive.tar.Z
, for example:
MQSDCP-170420-123729-archive.tar.Z
.
