Waveset Assessment Tools

Waveset provides the following utilities to list and record your installation information:

• installed Utility: Searches the $WSHOME/bin directory for manifests and provides version information for releases, patches, service packs, and hotfixes.

• inventory Utility: Inspects the file system for files that were added to or deleted from the system, using files that are packaged in the release. This utility determines which files were changed based on the manifest that shipped with Waveset.

To access the installed and inventory utilities, follow these steps:

1. Open a command window and change directories to $WSHOME/bin.

2. At the prompt, execute the following command:

   ./lh assessment

3. At the prompt, type one of the following commands:

   • installed [option] [option]...

   • inventory [option] [option]...

The following tables describe the options that you can use with the installed and inventory utilities.
