Export data for problem analysis using command-line mode

We can generate a compressed file that contains data for problem analysis that you encounter during the command-line mode operation. IBM Software Support can use this file to help troubleshoot a problem.

Procedure

On a computer with Installation Manager installed, to export installation data for problem analysis:

  1. Open a command-line utility.

  2. Open the tools directory.

  3. Run the command for your operating system:

    • Windows: imutilsc.exe exportInstallData outputFileName
    • UNIX: ./imutilsc exportInstallData outputFileName

    Where outputFileName is the name of the file to be generated that contains the exported data in a compressed file format.

    Enclose file paths that include spaces with double quotation marks.


Results

A compressed file that contains the installation data is created.
