This software is a configuration collector tool.
One of SCC's unique features is its ability to send snapshot files to a server running the SCC server software. The server generates summaries of the SCC-data and provides an interface to search/compare operations on the snapshots and logbooks via a web-interface.
The logbook generated by SCC proves to be helpful in case a system suddenly stops working or behaves incorrectly. By examining entries of the logbooks and considering the consequences, the actual cause of the problem can be identified easily than by recalling the changes performed manually.
Another significant use of SCC is to compare configuration data of two systems. Often, systems that are supposed to be identical show different behavior. Comparing parts of the snapshot of the two systems can indicate the cause of the difference in their behavior.
SCC proves to be an essential software that can help in maintaining the system configuration and detecting any accidental side-effects of changes made to the system configuration.
