Using the Export Tool
To be able 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” on page 46
• ”Preparing a batch file” on page 49
• ”Running the Export Tool” on page 51
Preparing a command file
To be able 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 is saved in files.
