3.5 Note on remote collection

When you distribute the collection path file and the external program processing for collection used for remote collection, check that they are normally installed into the distribution-destination system before executing remote collection.

If you do not set PROHIBITPATH=NO in the operating-environment settings file, the following files and directories cannot be collected:

/bin, /dev, /ofis, /usr, /2050, and /3050 directories, and the files and directories under these directories

/ (root directory)

/etc directory and the directories under the /etc directory

Files other than the regular files and directories (such as device files)

For sending the collected resources from the relay system to the managing server, the rdssnd command functions of JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) are used. While the rdssnd command waits for the transmission of the result of distribution, the collected resource is not sent to the managing server.

Remote collection uses the host name of the distribution-destination system for processing. Do not change the host name of the distribution-destination system during remote collection.

Remote collection uses the file name of the host file to identify the managing server. Therefore, do not change the name or the contents of the host file while the temporary collection storehouse stores resources. Do not change the contents of the settings file of JP1/Software Distribution Client, either. If you do while resources are stored in the temporary collection storehouse, the resources in the temporary collection storehouse may not be sent to the managing server.

To switch from an end workstation to a client workstation, delete the files in the temporary collection storehouse before you perform the switch. To delete the files in the temporary collection storehouse, either send them to the managing server or use the rdscfclr command to initialize the temporary collection storehouse.
