Generating a Physical Incident Package

When you generate a package, you create a physical package (a zip file) for an existing logical package.

To generate a physical incident package:

  1. Start ADRCI in interactive mode, and ensure that the homepath points to the correct directory within the ADR base directory hierarchy.

    See "Starting ADRCI and Getting Help" and "Homepath" for details.

  2. At the ADRCI prompt, enter the following command:
    IPS GENERATE PACKAGE package_number IN path
    

    This generates a complete physical package (zip file) in the designated path. For example, the following command creates a complete physical package in the directory /home/steve/diagnostics from logical package number 2:

    IPS GENERATE PACKAGE 2 IN /home/steve/diagnostics
    

You can also generate an incremental package containing only the incidents that have occurred since the last package generation.

To generate an incremental physical incident package:

  • At the ADRCI prompt, enter the following command:

    IPS GENERATE PACKAGE package_number IN path INCREMENTAL
