Data Export

Data Export extracts archived events and statistics data from SPECTRUM DDM

(Distributed Data Manager) databases and current data for object entities stored in

SpectroSERVER databases. Data Export converts extracted data to the output format

that you specify — either ASCII, SAS, Oracle, or SQL. Data Export connects to a

single SpectroSERVER in a distributed server environment and can extract data from

any of the landscapes registered with that SpectroSERVER. The data can then be

imported into a report generator, database, spreadsheet, or statistics-analysis

application of your choice.

Corrected Data Export Anomalies in

SPECTRUM 6.5

1 Statistical exports no longer fail in SQL databases because of an

incorrect echo statement in the scripts.

Note:

Consider the following when you use SPECTRUM Data Export:

1 On the Solaris platform, if scheduled exports are not

occurring at their specified time it may be necessary to

stop and restart your cron daemon. Contact your

system administrator for more details regarding cron on

your workstation.

2 Oracle exports will not import all of the data to the

Oracle database if the table space is inadequate. Make

sure that the Oracle database contains enough table

space to import all Oracle data.

3 The SPECTRUM 6.0 version of Data Export is

supported by a SPECTRUM 5.0 Rev 1 SpectroSERVER.

However, Statistics and Events exports with ranges of

Week and Month will only get the first day’s data.
