passwordInfo

For Categories and Profiles that access a Control-M database, you need to specify <dbo_user> and <dbo_pwd>, which means the following:

• Running the Health Check utility with default parameters:
  • Control-M: Requires dbo parameters.
  • Control-M/Server: Requires dbo parameters
  • Control-M/Archive: Requires dbo parameters
• Running the Health Check utility with non-default parameters:
  • Control-M:
    • Categories that do not require dbo parameters: OS, CNF, LOG
    • Categories that require dbo parameters: DB, DBT, SCH, TBL, COM, MSR_GSR, MSR_GTW, MSR_DB

    NOTE: All Profiles require dbo parameters.

  • Control-M/Server:
    • Categories that do not require dbo parameters: CNF, OS, LOG, TBL, INST, FNC
    • Categories that require dbo parameters: DB, MSR_CTM

    NOTE: All Profiles require dbo parameters.

  • Control-M/Archive:
    • Categories that do not require dbo parameters: CNF, LOG,
    • Categories that require dbo parameters: DB, TBL

    NOTE: All Profiles require dbo parameters.

Control-M/Agent and Control-M Application plug ins: Do not require dbo parameters.

Components

(optional) Products and applications for which the utility can gather data.

Categories

(optional) Information type groupings, for example, operating system, database, and scheduling. For more information, see Control-M/EM Health Check utility standard category parameters.

Profiles

(optional) In general, a Profile is a predefined combination of Components and Categories. If you specify one or more Profiles, do not specify Components or Categories.

For more information, see Control-M/EM specific profile parameters, Control-M/Server specific profile parameters and Control-M/Agent specific profile parameters.

runConfiguration

You can optionally specify one or more of the following:

• -simulate: Simulates execution of a Health Check utility. This allows the user to verify that specified parameter values are appropriate.
• -days: (default: 2) The maximum number of days in the past for which the utility gathers the information. This option only affects log files relevant to BMC Software components.
• -max_size: (default: 300) In megabytes, the maximum size of the compressed file packed by a Health Check utility.
• -trace: Run a trace on the Health Check utility run. This generates the following log file: ctm_data_collector_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>_<PLATFORM_TYPE>_<HOSTNAME>.log
• -verbose: Outputs the utility processes to your display. By default, only processed categories are displayed.
• -help or -h: Displays the utility’s usage.
• -file <password_file_path>: The path to a file that you created that contains the Control-M/EM database owner (DBO) password.
• -batch: Run in batch mode. For more information, see Running Health Check utility from a batch file referred to in Health Check.
