Chapter 8 Using the CSS Scripting Language Script Upgrade Considerations Script Upgrade Considerations When you upgrade to a new version of CSS software, all script files that you have modified in the previous software version's /script directory need to be copied to the new software version's /script directory or else the scripts remain in the old /script directory and the CSS will not find them. Follow these steps before upgrading your CSS software: 1. Use the archive script command in SuperUser mode to archive each script file. For details on archiving a script, refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS Software. 2. Upgrade your CSS software. For details on upgrading the CSS software version, refer to Appendix A, Upgrading Your CSS Software. 3. Use the restore script command in SuperUser mode to restore the scripts to the /script subdirectory of the new software version. For details for restoring a script, refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS Software. Using the showtech Script To gather information designed to assist the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) in analyzing your CSS, use the showtech script. The output of the script displays a set of CSS status and configurations settings that the TAC can use for problem resolution. Use the output-capturing capabilities of your application connected to the CSS to save the script output for analysis. You can also save the script output to the file log/showtech.out by entering y at the prompt as shown below. You can then copy the output file and send it to the TAC if necessary. To run the script, enter: # script play showtech Save output to disk [y/n]? y Output will be saved to log/showtech.out Please wait... If you enter n, then the output appears on your screen.
