[WarrantyOutput_[yyyyMMddhhmmss].csv
(C:\WarrantyOutputFileName.csv)
The parameter is optional.
Connection string to the output warranty database. Will contain warranty information after CLI execution.
("Data Source=[host];Database=[Warranty dbname];Integrated Security=true;")
The parameter is optional.
The /Ocs command creates a database with the name given as above. The location of the database is %USERPROFILE%
\[Warranty dbname].mdf, while the log file is
%USERPROFILE%\[Waranty dbname]_log.ldf.
The %USERPROFILE% variable is typically C:
\Users\[username]\ on a Windows 10 system.
Once the database is created, the /Ocs command creates two additional tables:
Dell_Asset and Dell_AssetEntitlement. These tables are used to store warranty data that is cleared first, and then populated from your /
InputFile or /InputCfgMgrConnectionString servicetags.
NOTE: Once the database has been created, you can change the location of your [warranty dbname].mdf and
[Warranty dbname]_log.ldf files using either the SQL command, alter database , or SQL Server Management
Studio.
NOTE: If the database already exists and the Dell_Asset and Dell_AssetEntitlement tables do not exist, then you must create the tables.
