Introduction 
The Doctor Report is one of the most important tools that system 
operators and support engineers can use to evaluate the configuration 
and operation of a DBDS. Output from the Doctor Report appears on 
the screen of the DNCS and is written to an output file for later 
analysis. 
The Doctor Report was developed to generate a snapshot of system 
configuration. The following list contains some of the system 
configuration information reported by the Doctor Report: 
 
Installed software versions 
 
DNCS and Application Server disk partition utilization 
 
Status of DNCS and Application Server processes 
 
Summary of supported DHCT types 
 
Summary of sources, source definitions, segments, and sessions 
 
Summary of PPV services and events 
 
Data carousel/pump status and rates 
 
Configuration data for remote sites 
 
Common configuration errors that may lead to problems later 
Important:  We strongly recommend that system operators run the
