What to do next
Modify the SQLCMD path variable to ensure that VCM Patching recognizes the SQLCMD path. See
"Modify the SQLCMD Path Variable" on page 110.
Modify the SQLCMD Path Variable
SQLCMD is a command-line utility that allows you to use Transact-SQL statements, system procedures,
and script files at the command prompt. To ensure that VCM Patching recognizes the SQLCMD path in a
three-tier installation, you must modify the environment variable to point to the path where SQLCMDis
installed.
In a three-tier split installation, SQLCMD is installed on the Web server, VCM Collector, and VCM
database server when you install Client Connectivity Tools or Management Tools - Basic.
