reposcan parameter options?

[nscheaffer]

I am trying to run the reposcan utility on our 4.1 SP01 Patch 6.

I have found and have been using these resources...

How to use Repository Diagnostic Tool (reposcan) - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wik...

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_bip_repository_diagnostic_tool_en.p...

I have gotten it to run like this...

reposcan.exe -dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsystem -connect "UID=xxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxx" -dbkey xxxxxxxx -inputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Input" -outputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Output" -count 0

What I want to do now is only scan the FRS, not the CMS with an ultimate goal of scanning and repairing just the FRS.  The documentation for page 12 of the PDF from above lists the following for the scanfrs and scancms options.

I have tried adding all sorts of variations.

I added -scancms=False like this...

reposcan.exe -dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsystem -connect "UID=xxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxx" -dbkey xxxxxxxx -inputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Input" -outputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Output" -count 0 -scancms=False

It runs, but I get the same results as before I added it.

I have also tried these variations...

• -scancms False
• -scancms "False"
• -scancms false
• -scancms 0

They all result in the following error...

Internal error: An unknown exception has occurred.

Any suggestions?

As per the documentation you shared above, reposcan scans the FRS and CMS by default.

When you add the -scanfrs parameter, it scans ONLY the FRS and skips the rest.

so in your initial scan you scanned both. thay is why you are getting the same results.

Noel,

      Are you making sure you running the command from proper command windows.  You need to switch to "C:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" and then run the command.

I am running it from the win64_x64 folder.

The first screenshot below is the Scan Summary without using the -scancms=False parameter option.  The second screenshot is the Scan Summary with the -scancms=False parameter option.  It seems to me it is having no impact.

Noel,

     At the end of command just put -scancms   &/or  -scanfrs

Run REPOSCAN / Help to see options

OK.  So I added -scanfrs at the end and I got the same result as I did when I left it off.

reposcan.exe -dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsystem -connect "UID=xxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxx" -dbkey xxxxxxxx -inputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Input" -outputfrsdir "E:\Apps\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Output" -count 0 -scanfrs

Thanks,

Noel

Try removing the -count if you are still having problems with this. That command line runs fine for us using the -scanfrs option. It has for several versions.

The -scanfrs and -scancms are indicators to just scan those items if they are indicated.
