NAME
SCR – System Configuration Repository
DESCRIPTION
The System Configuration Repository (SCR) extracts a static snapshot
of a system's configuration by request and/or by schedule, and stores it
as a record in SCR persistent repository. Configuration information is
extracted from systems using the Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) program routines. Tools are available to identify differences
between records stored in the repository. Configuration snapshots will
include all relevant configuration information covered by HP-UX
System Management Information Format (MIF) and HP Software MIF.
SCR consists of seven components: Configuration Management, Data
Management, Filter Management, Tag Management, Presentation,
Repository and Log.
Configuration Management commands scrconfig maintains the
configuration data collection schedule and managed
node list.
scrstatus generates summary status of data collection
activity.
Data Management commands scrupdate collects configuration data
from managed nodes through DMI, and stores the data
in database.
scrdelete removes specified or expired configuration
data from the database.
scrupdate is invoked automatically according to the
data collection schedule set by scrconfig.
Filter Management command scrfilter creates and updates view
filter(s) stored in a filter database, which can be used
with scrviewer or scrdiff.
Presentation Component commands scrhist, scrdiff, and
scrviewer retrieve stored configuration information
and display it in human readable format.
Tag Management command scrtag manages tags for user friendly
naming of configuration snapshots. Tags can be used as
input to the view commands, scrdiff and scrviewer.
Repository Component provides services for storing configuration
snapshots.
