APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the output returned by running the collector command with
  -help, there is an AidInventory parameter listed, which does not
  exist.
  
  The command is:
  c:\tmp>c:\ibm\websphere60\appserver\profiles\AppSrv01\bin\collec
  tor -help
  
  The parameters seen are: Inventory, JarOutName, Compression,
  CaseSensitive, AutoCollect, ManifestFile, mfVersion,
  mfMainClass, LogFile, PropertyFile, ScratchFile, Version, Debug,
  Help and Verbosity.
  
  The help display of the collector needs to be cleaned up to
  remove the mention of AidInventory. This is how it looks like
  currently:
  
  ****
  -Inventory  <file-spec>
          Where <file-spec> is a file specifying the data to
  collect.
          If the Collector is being executed as an executable jar
  then the default inventory file will be searched within the jar
  file with the name of "default.inventory". If being executed as
  a class file then the default is to prompt the user. An
  inventory file is required for operation. For help with the
  inventory file, use the -AidInventory option.

  The collector tool's help information incorrectly mentions an
  option called -AidInventory that is nonfunctional. The help
  display of the collector needs to be cleaned up to remove the
  mention of AidInventory. This is how it looks like
  currently:
  
  ****
  -Inventory  <file-spec>
  Where <file-spec> is a file specifying the data to
  collect.
  If the Collector is being executed as an executable jar
  then the default inventory file will be searched within the jar
  file with the name of "default.inventory". If being executed as
  a class file then the default is to prompt the user. An
  inventory file is required for operation. For help with the
  inventory file, use the -AidInventory option.

Problem conclusion

• The -AidInventory comment has been removed and the collector's
  help should display the following under -Inventory:
  
  ****
  -Inventory  <file-spec>
  Where <file-spec> is a file specifying the data to
  collect.  If the Collector is being executed as an executable
  jar then the default inventory file will be searched within the
  jar file with the name of "default.inventory". If being
  executed as a class file then the default is to prompt the
  user. An inventory file is required for operation.
