For Datical DB versions 5.9 and higher, you can use the hammer debug export command to "scrub" sensitive information such as hosts, ports, and credentials from your files before sending them to Datical Support. The hammer debug export command will create a new zip file in your <ProjectName>/Reports/debug directory that contains the files you specify to include. The files in the zip will have the actual values for hosts, ports, usernames and password hashes (password hashes are only relevant if you use the less secure Stored Credentials option) replaced by the scrubber with more generic strings (tokens). This is to avoid emailing files that contain the actual values as they may be sensitive information.
The hammer debug export command provides a simple way to archive the needed files into a zip file that you then send to Datical Support:
- You can specify which files to include in the zip.
- The command must be run from the command line (not from the Datical desktop client/GUI).
- The "scrubber" will only handle files that are located somewhere within your <ProjectName> directory structure for that project. If there are relevant files located outside of the project's directory structure (for example the daticaldb.log file for operations performed in the Datical desktop client/Eclipse GUI), you can copy that log into the project directory structure prior to running the hammer debug export command.
- You can add a new step near the end of your automation jobs so that the
hammer debug exportcommand creates the zip of "scrubbed" files automatically for each job.

All files must be in the project file hierarchy. If you want to add a file from outside the project, copy it to the file hierarchy. Place it in the root <ProjectName> directory, or in the <ProjectName>/Log subdirectory, or other subdirectory.
