(Optional) Setting configuration check preferences


Before you run the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility, you can set the following preferences:

Setting the target release of BMC Remedy AR System

By default, the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility is configured to run a check for the BMC Remedy Action Request (AR) System installation or upgrade:

  • To set the target release to a version other than the current version, change the following parameter in the ./configchecker/config/configchecker_config.xml file:

    <param name="targetVersion">versionNumber</param>

    For example: 

    <param name="targetVersion">9.1.00</param>

    If this parameter is missing in the configchecker_config.xml file, by default, the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility runs the checks for the latest version of BMC Remedy AR System server.

  • If you set the target release to a version earlier than the current version, the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility skips the checks specific to that version.

    Note

    Version-dependent checks are listed in the ./configchecker/doc/PreCheckerMisc.doc file.

Report mode

The BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility generates a report in one of the following modes:

  • info — Displays all messages (informational, warnings, and errors) in the report
  • warn (default) — Displays errors and warnings in the report.
  • error — Displays only errors, but not warnings, in the report

To change the mode for a report, set the following parameter in the ./configchecker/config/configchecker_config.xml file:

<param name="reportMode">mode</param>

For example:

<param name="reportMode">error</param>
