• Command Director Log gathering tool: HCmDRASTool.zip

The above Command Director Log gathering tool is a command (hcmdras) you can use to gather log files of all HCmD components to investigate issues and troubleshoot them. When you execute the command, the tool collects all log files and stores the output in respective directories in the zip file. To collect the log files, simply execute the command and specify a valid output directory.

Features

The Log gathering tool command has the following features:

• Collects logs for all installed HCmD components and OS types they are installed on.
• Collects log files that are not gathered by the getconfig command.
• The output directory is divided into 1 GB files to keep the filesize manageable. If the size of the archived files sent to the support team exceeds 1 GB, they are split into 1 GB files. The output files are collected in the following files:
  • HCmDServ.zip
  • HCmDHTnMDC.zip
  • HCmDLicServ.zip
  • HCmDHDC.zip
  • HCmDServDB.zip
  • HCmDServCollector.zip
  • HCmDServBackUp.zip

The hcmdras command is currently supported only on the following Windows platforms:

• Windows Server 2003 x86
• Windows Server 2003 x64
• Windows Server 2008 x86
• Windows Server 2008 x64

Prerequisites for using the tool

The following prerequisites must be met before executing the command

• You should have administrative privileges
• You should have jre1.6, update 29 or later installed on your system
• You should have correctly registered the registry keys of the installed HCmD components
• JRE_PATH should be set in the batch file if the PATH environment variable to the java executable is not allowed to be set on the local machine

Important to note

Please take note of the following before running the command:

1. When an HCmD component is not installed, the log gathering tool will not collect the corresponding logs.
2. When the size of the logs collected exceeds 2GB, the zip or divided files may not be created and the command execution may take a few hours to complete. In such cases, zip the logs manually and send them to customer support.
