To enable AZScan to work, you have to give it two files from the iSeries system being reviewed. These files are produced using two very simple commands which generate the required input files. These two files are the copied to the PC running AZScan by floppy disk, ftp or any other available means.

The first command generates the 'System Profile File'.

WRKSYSVAL SYSVAL(*ALL)

Press F4 for prompt, change ouput* to *print.

Examine the default output printer and you will see it there,

Use Navigator to drag the output file (system profile file) to your desktop.

If you examine the system profile file, it will look something like this:

DSPUSRPRF USRPRF(*All) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/USERLIST2)

Examining the User Profile File will show a listing which looks like this:

• 1041029021706CXLSASP DAVID    *USER   *SYSVAL 1040413073938 *NO *YES *NONE
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER1 *PGMR   *SYSVAL 1040513073938 *NO *YES *NONE
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER2 *SECADM *SYSVAL 1040313073938 *NO *NO
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER3 *PGMR   *SYSVAL 1040413073938 *NO *YES *NO *NONE
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER4 *SECOFR *SYSVAL 1040318134548 *NO *NO
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER5 *SYSOPR *SYSVAL 1020413012415 *NO *NO
• 1041029021706CXLSASP MANAGER6 *USER   *SYSVAL 1040313073938 *NO *YES *NONE
• 1041029021706CXLSASP QBRMS    *USER   *SYSVAL 1040413073938 *NO *YES *NONE
• 1041029021706CXLSASP QCLUMGT  *USER   *SYSVAL 1040313012415 *NO *YES *YES
• 1041029021706CXLSASP QCLUSTER *USER   *SYSVAL 1040813012415 *NO *YES

It is important that the files are transfered to the PC using simple FTP and you do not use IBM commands such as CRYTOIMPF or use Client Access data transfer with tab delimited set. (These will reformat the output files).
