ADM User's Guide
Editing the ADMLIC.sh File
In Solaris 9 and Solaris 10, the Mozilla browser replaced the Netscape browser. Because of this change, the
ADMLIC.sh file must be edited to configure the location of the browser of your choice.
To edit the ADMLIC.sh file
1 Open the ADMLIC.sh file using a text editor.
2 Locate the following section:
# ==========| Customize only until next dashed line |==============
# ---------------------------------------
### Required:
# Some typical browser locations
# /usr/dt/bin/netscape
# /opt/netscape/netscape
# /usr/bin/mozilla
BROWSER=/usr/sfw/bin/mozilla
# --------------------
# =====================| End Customizations |======================
# ----------------------
3 Edit the path for the browser running on a Solaris host.
For example, BROWSER=/usr/sfw/bin/mozilla
4 Save the file to the BASEDIR/smarts/actions/client/ADM directory.

Custom Reports

In addition to standard reports, ADM provides functionality for creating custom reports. To create custom
reports, an external database must be installed and configured. Once the external database is synchronized
with the ADM database, you can create custom queries to collect data and generate custom reports. The
VMware vCenter Application Discovery Manager Repository Reference Guide provides information about setting up
and configuring the ADM external database. To help you with the custom reports, it also provides examples
of reports that can be generated from the ADM external database.
