Collection Validation
Important:The product name for this user guide has changed from Foundation and Cloudscape to Business Service Discovery and Migration Planning.
The Collection Validation feature is the primary troubleshooting tool for issues relating to data collection for Discovery or Performance collection.
The Collection Validation feature is available on the RN150 Virtual Appliance. It offers you an in-depth review of what data collection activities are performed against a device, and details about any operations that are not successful. The Collection Validation feature is a compliment to the existing Credential Test feature on the RN150, and a crucial part of troubleshooting during the Discovery stage of an engagement.
Currently, the Collection Validation feature is only available for the SSH Collection Module, for Linux/UNIX devices using SSH, and for the Windows Collection module, using the WMI and SMB protocols for collection from Windows servers and workstations.
