(Optional) Setting configuration check preferences

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

• Target release of BMC Remedy AR System
• Report Mode

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>

Where to go from here
