-configlog <config_log_file_path>
The -configlog parameter specifies an output file where a list of command line parameters
and values will be written. These values reflect the parameter configuration used during the
last (or current) execution of the SCR Tool. This information can be used for troubleshooting.
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=<logging_config_file_path>
The -Djava.util.logging.config.file parameter specifies the input file path to a
custom application logging configuration file. This file specifies the logging granularity and
output log file path. See the section about setting logging levels for details.
You can automate running the scripts using the OS schedulers, such as cron or at. See
on page
19.
Connect the VCM-Managed Machines to the SCR Tool
To connect the VCM-managed (Agent) machines to the SCR Tool, you must create a mount point to the
appropriate directory on the host machine that contains the patch payload for the platform.
Alternatively, you can use a remote command to mount the Agent machine at the time of patch
deployment, or use a remote command to ftp the files to the Agent machine at deployment time.
Set Logging Levels and Output File Names
The SCR Tool provides flexible logging settings. Using the
-Djava.util.logging.config file command line parameter, you can specify custom logging levels
and output file names for each execution of the SCR Tool. By default, all scripts will log data to the same
filename pattern at the INFO logging level.
N
You can optionally change any of the logging properties.
OTE
To set up custom logging:
1. Copy the <scr_root>/bin/logging.properties file to a new custom file, such as
logging.properties.aix.
2. Change the -Djava.util.logging.config.file command line parameter in the SCR replication
script to refer to the new logging properties file.
3. Edit the new logging properties file.
4. Change the logging level values for the following properties:
.level=<logging_level>
n
com.lumension.level=<logging_level>
n
The com.lumension.level property determines the logging level of the repository component.
The FileHandler.level should be set to the same or higher level.
The allowable logging level values are:
SEVERE
n
WARNING (valid, but not used)
n
INFO (recommended for production)
n
CONFIG (valid, but not used)
n
