Issue/Introduction

In file C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\DSM\Server\SDBS\var\managedpc\images\<OSIMAGE>\<OSIMAGE>\oeminst\oobecustom.cmd there are following lines to send a success completion signal to boot server :

rem -- send signal completion
echo send signal completion to bootserver >> c:\calogfile.txt
c:\ca-osim\sdmpcimg -u "#MPCSIGNAL#MACAddress=$~MACAddress$#BMSConfigId=$BMSConfigId$#ClientIP=$~ClientIP$#Status=200 OK" c:\calogfile.txt $~ServerIP$ >> c:\calogfile.txt

But how to send an error signal ?

Environment

Client Automation - All Versions

Resolution

A status value different than 200 is considered as error.

 

So command like this report an error :

c:\ca-osim\sdmpcimg -u "#MPCSIGNAL#MACAddress=$~MACAddress$#BMSConfigId=$BMSConfigId$#ClientIP=$~ClientIP$#Status=300 NOK" c:\calogfile.txt $~ServerIP$ >> c:\calogfile.txt

 

A longer string text could also be sent.

Example : 

c:\ca-osim\sdmpcimg -u "#MPCSIGNAL#MACAddress=$~MACAddress$#BMSConfigId=$BMSConfigId$#ClientIP=$~ClientIP$#Status=300 Problem Test1 with long string text" c:\calogfile.txt $~ServerIP$ >> c:\calogfile.txt
