Run report configuration utility

Typically, you'll run this report when requesting a license key file so that you can include the output in your emailed request. If you already have installed the Portal software, run the following command and include the output in the email.

  • Windows:

    C:\opt\aptare\utils\reportconfig.bat > reportconfig.txt

  • Linux:

    /opt/aptare/utils/reportConfig.sh > reportconfig.txt

    Note:

    When you pipe the output to a file ( > reportconfig.txt), you'll have an output file to email.
