You must set at least one Product_Code parameter to identify the product or
component for which to run the prerequisite check and the associated
configuration file. Product_Code is the product code that you set in the
ips_root/codename.cfg file.
For example, KMS is the product code for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server in
the product.cfg file. To run the Scanner, enter the following script with the
product code:
./prereq_checker.sh KMS
If you set a Product_Code parameter that does not have a corresponding
configuration file, the Prerequisite Scanner ignores it without error. The log file
contains a message that no configuration file was found.
The Product_Version parameter for the associated Product_Code parameter
indicates the version of the product. It is the 8-digit code to represent the version,
release, modification, and level, with two digits for each part of the code; for
example, 7.3.21 is 07032100. Product_Version is an optional parameter. If you do
not set it, the Prerequisite Scanner checks the latest available version.
You can set one or many Product_Code parameters with the optional
Product_Version parameter, each separated by a comma.
Important: When you set more than one <Product_Code> parameter with the
optional <Product_Version> parameter, enclose the parameters in quotation marks.
If you do not, the Scanner fails.
This example checks prerequisites for the latest version of Tivoli Monitoring
Operating System Agent for Windows and Version 6.2.1 of Tivoli Monitoring Agent
for DB2.
prereq_checker.bat "KNT,KUD 06210000"
[detail]

the command-line interface.

v The version of the Prerequisite Scanner
v The version of the operating system on which the Scanner was run
v The name of the products or components for which the prerequisites checks
v For each prerequisite property: the name of the prerequisite property checked,
