OCS Inventory AG Agent dumping inventary-informations through command line

Hello,

if I click the tray icon and click show inventory-information that works and that's good so far. I'd like however a commannd line / parameter switch to write these informations into a file but can't find anything. How to do this?

Edit: Ok, OCSInventory.exe /local="C:\" works but it creates a .ocs file. If I try OCSInventory.exe /xml="C:\" no file is generated. What am I doing wrong?

When I use

/XML /LOCAL=.

only .ocs file is created

when I use /XML=.

after approx. 1-2 minutes an .xml file is created

when I use

/XML=. /LOCAL=.

both .ocs and .xml files are created

It works fine on my workstation, but the xml file is generated after 2 or 3 minutes.

Yes, I noticed it takes approx. 10 seconds for the .ocs file so I waited for the .xml but unfortunately no .xml file is generated :\

The setup I downloaded is "OCSNG-Windows-Agent-2.3.0.0.zip" and after setup I'm executing like this after:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\OCS Inventory Agent"

C:\Program Files (x86)\OCS Inventory Agent>OCSInventory.exe /xml="C:\" /force

So, maybe there is something wrong? Otherwise realy weird because a .ocs is generated. Maybe there's a way to convert the .ocs into .xml?

Hi,

I have tested on may Workstation. The /XML option works fine in the 2.1.1.1 agent version, but it doesn't work in 2.3.0.

It seems to me that it is a bug in the Windows agent version 2.3.0.

Regards,
Bexounet.
