Defining an output command file

This procedure describes how to generate an output command file.

When you generate an output command file, BMC AMI Log Master can generate a DDL output file, generate a Catalog Activity report, or update the Repository, but it cannot generate other forms of output in the same log scan, such as other reports or SQL. To generate any other forms of output that you need in the same work ID, add a separate log scan step.
