The Chromeleon System Status Report (SSR) utility program, which was introduced with Chromeleon 6.8, provides a convenient way to collect and package a comprehensive “snapshot” of a specific Chromeleon installation for troubleshooting or general documentation purposes. Options let you include or exclude database installation qualification (DBIQ) and datasource performance qualification (DSPQ) reports, instrument configuration reports, drivers and services, symbol tables, log files, audit trails, and even specific sequences and/or directories. The System Status Report gets packaged as a single file that can be stored and/or emailed directly from the utility program (an encryption option is provided). The size of the System Status Report files you generate varies, depending on which items you choose to include. On-line Help files that describe the various program options are included with the utility. The System Status Report utility is included with Chromeleon Release 6.8, which supports all of the reporting options. The utility can also be used with Chromeleon Releases 6.7, 6.6, and 6.5, though certain reporting options will not be available. Support for specific options goes as far back as the following Chromeleon releases:
- DBIQ: 6.8
- DSPQ: 6.7 SP4, 6.8
- Server Configuration History: 6.8
- Audit Trails, Generic Drivers, Symbol Tables: 6.5 SP10, 6.6 SP6, 6.7
The System Status Report utility works under Windows XP and Windows 2000, but is not compatible with earlier Windows releases.
