Hi all,

CSY will be soon providing the Software Inventory Utility (SIU) tool via
Jazz.  This tool consists of a CI script, a database reading program file,
the source to this program, and a simple file that maps account names to
vendor company names.  SIU scans your system looking at all databases,
groups, directories, and accounts and attempts to categorize your
inventory of files.

The goals for this tool are twofold: 1) help customers who are planning
on migrating off of MPE better understand what are the important files
they need to consider.  E.g. they may have long forgotten that they are
using some obscure Image DB or something like that.  2) it should be useful
to system managers staying on MPE.

SIU is available (unlinked for now) on Jazz at:

 http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/siu/index.html


I am anxious for more eyeballs to exercise the tool and find bugs, or
offer enhancement suggestions before our "public" release expected to
be mid Feb. Also, thanks to those of you who have offered great help for
several iterations already!

If you encounter a problem with the script or program, first please
tell me.  Second, do a
  :showvar _sw_@   and cut/paste me the output.

(Hint: you can do this :showvar against another job/session that is
running the script, which I've done several times and its been
useful.)

Last, show me the contents of the SWINVLOG error/progress file.

Hint: you may want to execute the SWINVEN script from a job or with
output redirected, since it can take a long time, and may produce lots
of output.  And, remember that are many output level combinations!

Please enter: swinven ?  to get the online help.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

 regards,
 Jeff Vance, CSY
