Running the Configuration Check utility in silent mode

This mode provides a way of running the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility by passing at least one argument to the configchecker.bat command on Microsoft Windows or the configchecker.sh command on UNIX. Based on the command that you enter, the utility then provides onscreen options to perform the required action.

The following topics are provided:

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the value of JAVA_HOME is set correctly. If you do not set the JAVA_HOME correctly, you may not be able to run the BMC Remedy Configuration Check utility outside of the installer to perform pre-upgrade and configuration checks.Use Java 8 update 45 or later.
  •  Run the pre-upgrade checks by using the same version of Configuration Check utility as that of BMC Remedy AR System server to which you want to upgrade.

In the command line interface, you must pass at least one argument using the following command format:

  • (Microsoft Windows) configchecker.bat <Command Id> <Command Value>
  • (UNIX) configchecker.sh <Command Id> <Command Value>

Note

The following sample command is for Microsoft Windows and MS SQL database type:

configchecker.bat -u <AR Server User> -x <AR Server Host> -dt <DB Type> -d <DB Host Name> -du <AR DB User> -dp <AR DB Password> -do <DB TCP Port> -m <Execution Mode> -spt <Plugin Types>

For example:

configchecker.bat -u <UserName> -x <AR Server Name> -p <password> -o 0 -dt 1 -sql 1 -d <DB Host Name> -ard <DbName> -du <DB Admin User> -dp <DB Admin Password> -do <Db Port> -di <DB Instance>  -spt <Products> -scat 2 -f "<Path to configchecker_config.xml>" -rf "<Path to configchecker_result.xml>" -srf "<Path to configchecker_report Name.html>" -m 0

This command runs all the checks (-m 0).

For UNIX, you can run the configchecker.sh command by passing the same <Command Id> and <Command Value> parameters.

After you run the utility, an HTML report (configchecheckerOutput.html) is generated from the configuration check result file (configcheckResult.xml). The HTML report is located in the ./configchecker/result folder.
