1.5 Compaq Configuration Record Utility
Compaq Configuration Record Utility is an online information-gathering
tool meant to replace the DOS based Inspect utility. It runs from within
Windows and gathers critical hardware and software information from
various sources to give a complete view of the computer. The Compaq
Configuration Record Utility delivers comprehensive configuration
capture, provides a means for automatically identifying and comparing
configuration changes, and has the ability to maintain a computer
configuration history. The information can be saved as a history of
multiple sessions.
The Compaq Configuration Record Utility captures data as sessions; a
session is defined as an organized group of data describing the configured
state of the system at a specific point in time.
The session information is maintained in a log file, located in the same
directory as the executable portion of the program. This file contains all
of the ASCII text configuration information captured for a session. This
file can be analyzed locally by the Configuration Record Utility, or it can
be sent to another location such as a help center, or to Compaq.
The sessions are organized as two distinct types:
Active
The Active session (referenced as session now.log) is the most recent
information captured. The utility overwrites this session each time a
sample is taken.
Original
The Original session (referenced as session base.log) is the first session
sampled. The Compaq Configuration Record Utility will treat this
session as a "master configuration" and the utility will never overwrite
this session.
