A.6 Testing the Automation Setup
To test your Automation setup, execute a FireInspector Automation API
script or program on the remote computer (DCOM client) that will be
connecting to the FireInspector host computer (DCOM server).
CATC Client Application
CATC provides a CATC Client application, FireDrive.exe, on the
FireInspector installation diskettes. FireDrive is a simple utility that
provides an alternative means of performing common tasks. This utility can
be run from the diskettes or loaded onto the hard drive of the PC.
The following are included on the diskettes:
• FireDrive.exe - A simple application for running the script files.
This application can be run in place of Visual Basic, C++ or
HTML-based applications.
• FireDrive project source code - A sample C++ project that can be
used to execute FireInspector commands. You can build the sample
FireDrive C++ application with Visual C++.
Testing Automation with FireDrive.exe
To test your automation setup, use FireDrive.exe to connect to the
FireInspector host computer from a remote PC and remotely load a trace file
on the host computer.
Note
If the FireInspector host computer is running the Microsoft®
Windows® 98 operating system, open the FireInspector application
on the host computer before following the steps below. Windows 98
has security issues that can be bypassed by first opening the
FireInspector software.
To test Automation using FireDrive.exe, perform the following steps:
Step 1
On the remote (DCOM client) computer, double-click
FireDrive.exe on the Installation diskette.
