Prerequisite Scanner: User's Guide
outputDir is a new input parameter for the Prerequisite Scanner script in
Prerequisite Scanner Version 1.1.1.10. You can use it to specify the directory
that will contain the scan results and log files when you run the Scanner,
as specified by ips_output_dir. If you do not set this parameter, the default
output location is ips_root.
You can also use the parameter to specify a location, if you choose to run
Prerequisite Scanner from a CD, DVD, or a read-only network drive. See
"prereq_checker" on page 59.
Important: If the output directory does not exist, Prerequisite Scanner
creates the directory. You must have write permissions to create or write to
the output directory in which Prerequisite Scanner saves the files.
Table 10 outlines the product script files that have been updated to use the
outputDir parameter. The Windows batch files set the output directory to
%TEMP%\prs, and the UNIX script files set the output directory to /tmp/prs.
