Validate Configuration Files

When you manually edit any of the five text-based Sterling Connect:Direct configuration files, the Configuration Checking Utility (cfgcheck) enables you to validate these files offline. The following files can be validated using this utility: userfile.cfg, initparm.cfg, netmap.cfg, ndmapi.cfg, and sysacl.cfg.

Note: The Strong Access Control File (sysacl.cfg) will be validated only when the user running the Configuration Checking Utility is a root user.

By default, cfgcheck is run with no arguments and attempts to find all five of the configuration files in the current working directory. If all of the Sterling Connect:Direct components are not installed, then some of the files will not be found. For example, if the Command Line Interface (CLI) is installed but the Sterling Connect:Direct server is not installed, only the ndmapi.cfg file will exist in the installation directory. Therefore, only the ndmapi.cfg file will be validated. When cfgcheck is run with no arguments, the utility will report that the other configuration files were not found.

Note: Before you can execute cfgcheck, you must set the NDMAPICFG environment variable. For more information, see “Overview of the Command Line Interface” on page 1.

To invoke cfgcheck, type the following command at the UNIX prompt:

$ cfgcheck -t -h -f filename.cfg

The cfgcheck command has the following arguments:

Argument

Description

 

 

No arguments (default)

When no arguments are specified and the

 

cfgcheck utility is run by a non-root user, it

 

searches the cfg/ directory for the

 

following configuration files: initparm.cfg,

 

netmap.cfg, userfile.cfg, and ndmapi.cfg.

 

When a root user runs cfgcheck, the utility

 

also searches the SACL/ directory to locate

 

the sysacl.cfg file.

 

 

-h

Prints the help screen and exits.

 

 

-t

Turns on tracing and prints verbose debug

 

information.

 

 

-f filename.cfg

Specifies a configuration file name to

 

validate, where filename is the name of one

 

of the configuration files. You can specify

 

multiple -f arguments. When the -f

 

argument is used, cfgcheck will not

 

automatically search for other configuration

 

files from the file specified.

 

 

Configuration Reports

You can generate a report of your system information and Sterling Connect:Direct configuration information using the Configuration Reporting Utility (cdcustrpt). Configuration reports can be generated for the following Sterling Connect:Direct components:
