(dlmrmcenv)
If you are managing HDLM by using Global Link Manager, this utility
registers a managed host's user account information on a remote

The DLMgetras Utility for Collecting HDLM Error Information
This utility collects information that is needed to analyze HDLM errors that
have occurred: information such as integrated trace files, trace files,
definition files, and OS information.
Whenever the host is restarted, some of the information that is collected by
the DLMgetras utility will be cleared. As a result, whenever an error occurs,
immediately execute this utility to avoid losing any valuable information.
Format
Execute this utility from the remote management client, in the following
format:
DLMgetras {-s host-name -u user-name -p password [folder-to-which-
collected-information-is-output] [-eventlogtime yyyy/mm/dd | -
