Setting this parameter to true enables Inventory Discovery via SSH to be able to use a user account that has the shared home directory. For example, the home directory is mounted via NFS or Samba, so that the same directory is used when the user logs into different computers.

In order for this feature to work correctly, Universal Discovery Agent cannot be installed to run under a user account that has the home directory that is shared (for example, mounted via NFS or Samba). If it is already installed, uninstall it. For more information, see the How to Completely Uninstall the Universal Discovery Agent section in the Data Flow Management Guide.

To enable this feature, set this parameter value to true. The default value is false.

The file system discovery method. Valid values are perl and lsawk.

• perl (default). Run Perl scripts to discover file systems. If Perl is not installed on the target host, the lsawk discovery method is used as a fallback mechanism.
• lsawk. Run ls + awk commands to discover file system.
