NAME

cerupdate — update the Common Error Repository (CER) with error metadata

SYNOPSIS

/opt/sfm/bin/cerupdate -d extract-dir-path [-t logfile] [-l trace-level] -p public-key [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The cerupdate command updates the Common Error Repository (CER) with error metadata supplied by HP, Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV), and Independent Software Vendors (ISV). CER is a database, which is a part of Error Management Technology (EMT). EMT product information is available on http://www.hp.com. To use the cerupdate command, users must have system administrative privileges.

All Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV) and Independent Software Vendors (ISV) use the DesCompiler tool provided by EMT to create extracts. These extracts include information about errors generated on an HP-UX system. Users can use the cerupdate command to upload the extracts created by HP, ISVs, and IHVs to the Common Error Repository (CER). However, to upload these extracts, the IHVs and the ISVs must be registered with EMT. To register with EMT, send a request via email to emtdevindia@hp.com.

Options

The cerupdate command recognizes the following options:

-d extract-dir-path

Specifies the path of the directory where the extract files are located. The directory must contain an index.txt file with the names of the extracts that must be uploaded to the CER.

The -d option is mandatory.

-h

Displays information on how to use the cerupdate command, similar to a help option.

-l trace-level

Specifies the trace level to be used for logging. The following trace levels are supported in ascending order of severity:

Trace Information Error

The default trace-level is Information.

The cerupdate command logs all messages related to trace-level and above to the log file specified by the -l option. If the -l option is not specified, the cerupdate command uses the option specified in the configuration file. The trace level strings are case-insensitive.

-p decryption-key

Specifies the key that the cerupdate command uses to decrypt the extract files. Configuration and post-installation scripts that invoke the cerupdate command must pass the correct decryption key.

IHVs and ISVs can obtain the encryption and the decryption keys by registering with EMT.

The -p option is optional and is case-sensitive.

-t log-file-name

Specifies the log file to which the cerupdate command logs all messages related to trace-level. See the description of the -l trace-level option for further explanation. If the -t option is not specified, the cerupdate command uses the log file specified in /var/opt/sfm/conf/cerupdate.conf, which is the cerupdate configuration file. Changes made to an existing log file will overwrite the contents of the file.

RETURN VALUE

cerupdate returns one of the following values:

0

Successful completion.

Non 0

An error occurred.

FILES

/opt/sfm/bin/cerupdate

The binary file used for updating the CER.

/var/opt/sfm/conf/cerupdate.conf

The configuration file used to configure the trace levels.
