check_config

The Control-M/Server check_config utility checks key product size properties and settings and notifies you whether they are set to valid values (at or above the recommended minimum value) that are suitable for the size of your production environment. The utility also enables you to adjust values to comply with the recommendations, as well as revert your changes.

Running the check_config Utility

This procedure describes how to run the check_config utility, which checks and adjusts product size configuration.

Begin

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Linux: Log in to a Control-M/Server account.

    • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/Server is installed.

  2. Run the following command:

    • Linux: check_config.sh [<utility parameters>]

    • Windows: check_config.bat [<utility parameters>]

    For descriptions of the parameters that you can include in the command, see check_config Parameters.

    The utility generates a report that describes details of the various checks and tells you whether each check passed or failed. For each parameter in these checks, the detected current value is compared to the minimum expected value.
