SYNOPSIS
extract-dir-path logfile] trace-level] public-key
DESCRIPTION
To use this command, users must have administrative privileges.
All Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV) and Independent Software Vendors
(ISV) use the DesCompiler tool provided by EMT to create extracts.
These extracts include information about errors generated on an HP-UX
11iv3 system. Users can use the command to upload the extracts created
by HP, ISVs, and IHVs to the Common Error Repository (CER). However,
to upload these extracts, the IHVs and the ISVs must be registered with
EMT.
Options

located. The
directory must contain an index.txt file with the names
of the extracts that must be uploaded to the CER.
The option is mandatory.
Specifies the key that the
command will use to decrypt the extract files. Configu‐
ration and post-installation scripts that invoke the
command must pass the correct decryption key.
IHVs and ISVs can obtain the encryption and the decryp‐
tion keys by registering with EMT.
The option is optional and is case-sensitive.
