Running the Export Tool

To run the Export Tool and save monitoring data in files, you need to execute your batch file. To execute

your batch file, you need to enter the name of the batch file at the command prompt and then press the

Enter key (see

Figure 22

for reference). If you are using a Windows computer, you can double-click the

batch file to execute the batch file.

Figure 22

An example of executing a batch file (on a Windows computer)

When the Export Tool starts exporting monitoring data, dots (...) are issued to the standard output (for

example, the command prompt). The dots increment as export processing continues (see

Figure 23

). If an

internal error occurs, the exclamation mark (!) is issued to the standard output and the Export Tool

attempts to restart exporting data. If the export processing restarts, dots reappear and increment until

export processing finishes.

Sample command prompt outputs when the Export Tool runs

When the Export Tool finishes successfully, monitoring data is usually compressed in ZIP-format archive

files. If you want to obtain CSV files, you need to decompress ZIP files and extract CSV files out of the ZIP

files. If the operating system on your computer does not include a feature for decompressing ZIP files, you

need to obtain software for decompressing files.
For a complete list of files to be saved by the Export Tool, see ”

Files to be exported

” on page 30.

Notes

When an internal error shown in

Table 19

occurs during export processing, the exclamation mark (!)

appears and then retries export processing. By default, the Export Tool can retry processing up to three

times. If export processing does not finish after three retries or if an internal error occurs other than

those in

Table 19

, the Export Tool does not retry the processing. In this case, you need to quit the

command prompt and then run the Export Tool again. Note, however, that you can change the

maximum number of retries by using the retry subcommand. For detailed information about the
retry

subcommand, see

The retry subcommand

” on page 56.

If the error persists, contact your HP account support representative.
