Using the Export Tool

To be able to export monitoring data, you must prepare a command file and a
batch file. This section explains how to prepare a command file and a batch file,

and then explains how to run the Export Tool.

Preparing a Command File

To be able to run the Export Tool, you must write scripts for exporting
monitoring data. When writing scripts, you need to write several
subcommands in a command file. When you run the Export Tool, the

subcommands in the command file execute sequentially and then the
monitoring data are saved in files.

Figure 7-1 gives an example of a command file:

svpip 158.214.135.57 ; Specifies IP address of SVP
login expusr passwd ; Logs user into SVP
show ; Outputs storing period to standard output
group PhyPG Long ; Specifies type of data to be exported and type of
; storing period
group RemoteCopy ; Specifies type of data to be exported
short-range 200610010850:200610010910
; Specifies term of data to be exported for data stored
; in short range
long-range 200609301430:200610011430
; Specifies term of data to be exported for data stored
; in long range
outpath out ; Specifies directory in which files will be saved
option compress ; Specifies whether to compress files
apply ; Executes processing for saving monitoring data in files

Example of a Command File

In the above scripts, the semicolon (;) indicates the beginning of a comment.

Characters from a semicolon to the end of the line are regarded as a comment.

The scripts in this command file are explained as follows:

svpip 158.214.135.57

This script specifies that you are logging into the SVP whose IP address is

158.214.135.57

. You must log into the SVP when using the Export Tool.

The

svpip

subcommand specifies the IP address of the SVP. You must

include the

svpip

subcommand in your command file. For detailed

information about the

svpip

subcommand, see svpip Subcommand.
