How to Display Registration Information About Products Not Yet Registered

Using the dry run function of the regadm register command enables you to display service tag information about products that are not yet registered. This function can be useful for system administrators who want to know what information will be sent to My Oracle Support prior to actually registering. Service tags enable automatic discovery of the products that are installed on your system. When you use the register -d command option, the service tag data that is to be transmitted to the Oracle Product Registration System is merely displayed.

To use the dry run command option you must be on a system that has network connectivity.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

2. Type the regadm register command with the dry run command option, as follows:

   # regadm register -d

   The output of the command is displayed in XML file format.
