Historical Data
The Historical Data section (Figure 2-4) enables you to specify the types of
events and/or statistics data to export from your choice of the SPECTRUM
models included in your choice of the landscapes specified in the Preferred
Landscapes list (see Describing General Information Section Fields and
Buttons on Page 2-6). It also enables you to specify the historical period from
which to export data, the previous day, week, or month, or a more precise
range (e. g., a 12-hour period from two weeks ago).
For events and statistics output files, you can specify whether to overwrite
data in or append data to existing files, data sets, or tables, or for ASCII data
only, create new files with the date and time the file was created concatenated
to the file name.
Figure 2-4 shows a Historical Data section of the Data Export window when
the ASCII output format has been specified. This section changes, however,
when other output formats have been specified:
• When the SAS output format has been specified, the Data Set field
replaces the Output File field.
• When an SQL output format has been specified, the Table Name field
replaces the Output File field.
See Setting Historical Data Parameters on Page 3-9 for information specifying
historical data parameters.
