Error Reporting

9.4C

The Data Manager supports HTTP capabilities that allow GPF information to be posted to a web server. When transferring the GPF information, this data is compressed and encrypted to provide secure communications with the target web server. In addition, the Sunbelt CGI utility named 'suncgi' must be installed at the target web server to process the HTTP communications data as received from the Data Manager.

A command line option named '-ht' exists for the Data Manager. When the '-ht' command line option is executed, a test HTTP message is posted to web server configured for the Data Manager. In this case, a file named 'test.txt' is transferred to the web server. This command line option is used to verify that the HTTP communications is working as expected. The ADMIN_SRVNAME keyword string is placed in the 'test.txt' file along with a date and time to give an accord identification for the test data.

The following keywords are optional. When used, they can be placed in the [Environment] section of the Data Manager '.ini' configuration file. These keywords can be used to configure for situations that may require special setup to access a web server that is used to collect the GPF data using the HTTP interface.

Keyword	Meaning
ADMIN_HTTP_ADDR={i/p address}[:{port}]	This keyword is optional. If it is not specified, the default 'www.sunbelt-plb.com' URL is used to access the Web Server. This keyword is only needed to specify the URL/IP address for special configurations where the default URL can not be used. For example, this keyword may be required when a proxy server is used by an end-user. The default port number is 80. However, the optional {port} can be specified with a ':' character delimiter to set a port number other than the default.
ADMIN_HTTP_COMMAND={command}	This keyword is optional. If this keyword is not specified, the default command 'http://www.sunbelt-plb.com/cgi-bin/suncgi.exe' is used to access the Web Server for transferring the GPF data. Normally, this keyword is not required to access the Sunbelt Web Server. This keyword is only need for special situations where the default command can not be used.
ADMIN_REPORT_GPF=[ON\|OFF]	This keyword is used to enable the GPF logging support. If this keyword is not specified, the default is the same as OFF.
