What is the K2 blackpearl Configuration Analysis Tool?

The K2 blackpearl Configuration Analysis Tool is an automated system analysis tool that will be available post installation if errors are detected. Owing to the complex nature of target environments and the large number of possible environments where a K2 blackpearl installation may take place, the tool's primary role is to provide visual representation of the component that has encountered an error catering to most possible scenarios. This enables the individual performing the installation to troubleshoot the error at the time of installation.

How and when to run the tool

The Configuration Analysis tool is available only after a K2 blackpearl installation takes place. It is available under the following circumstances:

1. The Configuration Manager has detected an error and runs the tool after the installation completes
2. A user (no specific user rights are required to run the tool from the desktop), from the Start Menu runs the Configuration Analysis tool

K2 Server or Custom Installation vs Client Tools Only Installations

K2 Server and custom installations (no Designers installed) include servers and services that will require configuration and may encounter errors related to permissions, configuration and dependencies. These are the type of errors that the configuration tool was intended to detect and assist in resolving. If the installation only consisted of the Client Components, then the Analysis Tool although available will not detect any components that will require a configuration analysis.
