Examples of using the witmscantmr command includes:

 The following example creates the default baseline file:

witmscantmr -c

 The following example creates a status report using the default baseline file

as input:

witmscantmr -v

 The following example creates a status report using a baseline file, named

baseline.xml, as input. In this example, the command is issued one directory

above the scans directory:

witmscantmr -v -f scans/baseline.xml

5.1.2 The witmassess command

The witmassess command prepares for an upgrade by collecting data about

Tivoli managed resources to be upgraded (endpoints, profiles, and profile

managers) and mapping the Tivoli resources to equivalent resources for the IBM

Tivoli Monitoring environment.

-v Creates a data file that shows the status of the infrastructure upgrade, using either

the default baseline file or a specified baseline file as input. If the –f option is

omitted, the command uses the default baseline file as input. The default baseline

file is the file that was created with the –c option. Use the –f option to specify a

different baseline file. For example, if you renamed the default baseline file, use the

–f option to specify the renamed file. The output file that shows the status of the

infrastructure upgrade is named baseline_timestamp.xml, where baseline is the

name of the baseline file used as input and timestamp is a time stamp that indicates

when the output file was created. The time stamp specifies the year, month, day,

hour, minute, and second in that order in the following format:

yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss

The output file is written to the following directory on the Tivoli server:

$DBDIR/AMX/shared/analyze/scans

Where $DBDIR is the path name of the Tivoli object database directory.

–f baseline Specifies the baseline file to use with the –v option. If you do not specify the –f

option with the –v option, the command uses the default baseline file.

–?

Prints the usage description for this command.

-c Creates a default baseline file named tmroid.xml, where tmroid is the object

identifier of the Tivoli management region (for example, 1505093874.xml). The

baseline file is created in the following directory on the Tivoli server:

$DBDIR/AMX/shared/analyze/scans

Where $DBDIR is the path name of the Tivoli object database directory.
