Data export considerations

Data exports take effect only after the support IMC components have been installed and deployed. For

example, the alarm export function takes effect only after the basic network management components
are installed and deployed.
Alarm exporting removes the recovered and acknowledged alarms from IMC. It does not remove

unacknowledged or unrecovered alarms.
Events can be exported only when its corresponding alarms have been exported.
An example of the process for exporting By Quantity:

When the Threshold parameter is configured for 8000 entries and the Export but the last is
configured for 500 entries, when the number of entries reaches 8000, all but the most current 500

entries events are exported.

An example of the process for exporting By Time:

When the Threshold parameter is configured for 60 days and the Export but those in last is

configured for 30, when the number of days reaches 60 days, events for all but the last 30 days are
exported.

Data exports by default occur at 02:00:00 every morning. Make sure that the system server has

adequate resources at 02:00:00 to process exports. To modify the export time, contact H3C Technical

Support.

To begin data exporting immediately, click the Export Immediately link.

A command executed after the data export runs in the background service mode. Thus, you cannot open

any window with this command, which automatically exits once it has finished.
