image 6402


All output is placed in directory /tmp/qmgdb/

If FTP output (FTPOUT) is *STDFTP (Standard FTP) or *BDFTP (for Blue Diamond customers), the collected data is zipped and sent to ECuRep (*STDFTP) or Blue Diamond server environment (*BDFTP). This will generate an update for the Case.

When data is collected, it is placed in /tmp/qmgdb/-Case number-

If Keep output (KEEPOUT) is *NO (N), the data is deleted.

If KEEPOUT(*YES) is specified the collected data is kept in the /tmp/qmgdb/-Case number- directory.
From there is can be removed or sent (FTPed) into ECuRep.

NOTE: If the /tmp/qmgdb/-Case number- directory already has collected data, and a new collection is taken using the same Case, the directory is cleared and new data written.
