30 Performance Control Export Tool
Here is an example of a text file imported into spreadsheet software:
Figure 17 Sample text file
NOTE:
• When you run the Export Tool, text files are usually compressed in a ZIP-format archive file. To be able
to open a text file, you must decompress the ZIP file to extract the text files.
• Text files are in CSV (comma-separated value) format, in which values are delimited by commas. Many
spreadsheet applications can be used to open CSV files.
• Do not run multiple instances of the Export Tool simultaneously. If you run multiple instances, the SVP
may be overloaded and a timeout error may occur.
Files to be exported
The Export Tool enables you to save monitoring data in the Auto LUN XP pane into files (see Table 3
through Table 10). The Export Tool also enables you to save monitoring data about remote copy
operations into files (see Table 11 through Table 18). The Export Tool usually compresses monitoring data
in ZIP files. When you want to use a text editor or spreadsheet software to view or edit the monitoring
data, you usually need to decompress the ZIP files to extract CSV files. However, if you want the Export
Tool to save monitoring data in CSV files instead of ZIP files, you can force the Export Tool to do so.
