Installing the Export Tool on a UNIX Computer

To install the Export Tool on a UNIX computer:

1.

Create a directory on your UNIX computer.

In later s, you will install the Export Tool on the new directory.

2.

Mount the Export Tool installation media.

3.

Do one of the following:
• If

you

are

using Solaris, locate the archive file export.tar in the directory

/program/monitor/solaris in your CD-ROM disc, and then copy export.tar to the new

directory that you created earlier.

• If you are using HP-UX, locate the archive file export.tar in the directory

/program/monitor/HP-UX in your CD-ROM disc, and then copy export.tar to the new

directory that you created earlier.

4.

Decompress export.tar on your computer.

The Export Tool is installed. Also, a new directory named export is created.

Notes:

• The

export directory contains a couple of files, which include runWin.bat. It is recommended

that you delete runWin.bat because this file is no longer needed.

• The

Export

Tool program is a Java class file and is located in the export/lib directory.

Using the Export Tool

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 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.
