How-to Guides

WINDOWS OS:

1. Open Command Prompt:

   • Press Win+R → enter cmd → press Enter, or

   • Enter cmd in the Search box of the Taskbar;

2. Change the directory where the migVisor Metadata Collector is located
   (for example: cd C:\Users\User_Name\Desktop\migVisor_MetadataCollector);

3. Start mMC by running the following command:  java -Djava.library.path=./bin -jar ./migvisor-ui.jar > ./commandline_trace_%date%.txt

LINUX OS:

1. Open Terminal (Use the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut to open Terminal in Ubuntu);

2. Change the directory where the migVisor Metadata Collector is located
   (for example: cd Downloads/migVisor_MetadataCollector);

3. Enter the following command to run the mMC: java -Djava.library.path=./bin -jar ./migvisor-ui.jar > ./commandline_trace_$(date +%d-%m:%H-%M).txt

Instead of using the mentioned “>” operator, you can also use “>>” one (during running the mMC). The difference between them is the following:

• “>” overwrites the already existing file or creates a new file provided the mentioned file’s name doesn’t exist in the directory.

• “>>” operator appends an already available file or creates a new file provided the mentioned file’s name doesn’t exist in the directory.
