About SDDC Parameter Configuration

The StartDate, EndDate, and MatchingFiles parameters, which appear in several Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector (SDDC) configuration file sections, have common configuration details as shown in the following table.

Common Parameters Configuration Details

Common Parameters	Configuration Details
StartDate, EndDate	Set these parameters to specify collection of data between the two dates. If StartDate and EndDate are set, then do not set the MaxNumFiles parameter. Configure the dates in the following format: `dd-Month_Acronym-yyyy` where: dd is the integer of the date ranging from 01 to 31. Month_Acronym is the three-letter month acronym as follows: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. yyyy is the integer of the year. Another valid configuration selection for the StartDate and EndDate parameters is NONE. If NONE is entered for StartDate and a valid date is entered for EndDate, then files prior to the end date are collected. If NONE is entered for EndDate and a valid date is entered forStartDate, then files from the start date to the current date are collected.
MatchingFiles	Set this parameter to collect multiple file formats using a comma-delimited list. Wildcard characters are also applicable. For example, to collect files containing `siebmtsh` in the filename with the extension .dmp and files of the type siebmtshmw5409.dmp, enter: `MatchingFiles=siebmtsh*.dmp,siebmtshmw5409.dmp`
