Using HP Data Protector Debug Log Collector Tool "Best Practices"

Options
-version
Displays the version of the omnidlc command.
-help
Displays the usage synopsis of the omnidlc command.
-session sessionID
Limits the collected debug files to those that were produced during the Data Protector session
identified by the sessionID. Note that on OpenVMS, the omnidlc command run with the -
session parameter does not collect the debug files produced during specified session,
because session names are not part of the OpenVMS debug filename. Instead, all available
logs are collected.
-did debugID
Limits the collected debug files to those identified by the debugID.
Example:
OB2DBG_3212_2008-03-04-1_BMA_test.testdomain.test_3760-
536_Debug.txt
In this example the debugID is 3212.
-postfix string
Limits the collected debug files to the specified debug postfix.
-no_filter
Does not limit (select) the collected debug files.
-hosts list
Limits the files to be collected to the clients specified in the list. The hostnames must be
separated by spaces. The debug files collected are still subject to -session, -did or -
postfix options.
-pack filename
All collected files are, by default (if this option is not specified), packed and saved in the
current directory as the dlc.pck file. If this option is specified, the collected files are packed
and saved in the specified file in the current directory on the Cell Manager. If the full path
name is specified, the files are
packed and saved in the specified file in the specified directory.
To add files other than the collected files to the package, copy the files to one of the following
directories before running the command:
dlc/client/getinfo, dlc/client/log, or dlc/client/tmp (on UNIX),
or .\dlc\client\getinfo, .\dlc\client\log, or .\dlc\client\tmp
(on Windows). You cannot add directories, but only files. If the files are not copied to one of
the specified directories, the package cannot be unpacked during the unpack phase.
-depot [Directory]
If the Directory is specified, the collected files are not packed and are saved to the dlc
directory of the specified directory. If the Directory is not specified, the files are saved on
the Cell Manager in the directory
Data_Protector_program_data\tmp\dlc (Windows Server 2008),
Data_Protector_home\tmp\dlc (other Windows systems), or /tmp/dlc
(UNIX systems).
