app2container remote analyze command
Run this command from a worker machine to analyze the specified application on the target application server, and generate a report. The target application server is specified by its IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
Note
If the command fails, an error message is displayed in the console, followed by additional messaging to help you troubleshoot.
When you ran the init command, if you chose to automatically upload logs to App2Container support if an error occurs, App2Container notifies you of the success of the automatic upload of your application support bundle.
Otherwise, App2Container messaging directs you to upload application artifacts by running the upload-support-bundle command for additional support.
Syntax
app2container remote analyze --application-idid--targetIP/FQDN[--help]
Parameters and options
Parameters
- --application-id
id -
The application ID (required). After you run the remote inventory command, you can find the application ID in the
inventory.jsonfile in one of the following locations:-
Linux:
<workspace>/remote/<target server IP or FQDN>/inventory.json -
Windows:
<workspace>\remote\<target server IP or FQDN>\.app2container-config\inventory.json
-
- --target
IP/FQDN -
Specifies the IP address or FQDN of the application server targeted for the inventory (required).
Options
- --help
-
Displays the command help.
Output
The remote analyze command creates files and directories on the worker machine for the specified application on the target application server. Each application has its own directory, named for the application ID. Output varies slightly, depending on your application language and the application server operating system.
The application directory contains analysis output and editable application configuration files. The files are stored in subdirectories that match the application structure on the application server.
An analysis.json file is created for the application that is
specified in the --application-id parameter. The file contains information
about the application found during analysis, and configurable fields for container
settings. See Configuring application containers,
and choose the platform that your application container runs on for more information
about configurable fields, and for an example of what the file looks like.
For .NET applications and Windows services, App2Container detects connection strings and
produces the report.txt file. The report location is specified in
the analysis.json file, in the reportPath attribute of
the analysisInfo section. You can use this report to identify the changes
that you need to make in application configuration files to connect your application
container to new database endpoints, if needed. The report also contains the locations
of other configuration files that might need changes.
Examples
Choose the operating system platform tab for the application server or worker machine where you run the command.
