• The Export Tool program is a Java class file and is located in the export\lib directory.
Installing the Export Tool on a UNIX computer
1. Create a directory on your UNIX computer.
In later steps, you will install the Export Tool on the new directory.
2. Insert the Program Products CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Do either of the following:
• If you are using Solaris, locate the archive file
export.tar in the directory
/export_tool/solaris in your CD-ROM disc, and copy export.tar to the new directory you
created earlier.
• If you are using HP-UX, locate the archive file
export.tar in the directory /export_tool/hp-ux
in your CD-ROM disc, and copy
export.tar to the new directory you created earlier.
4. Decompress
export.tar on your computer.
The Export Tool is installed. Also, a new directory named
export is created.
NOTE:
•The
export directory contains a couple of files, which include runWin.bat. HP recommends
deleting
runWin.bat because this file is no longer needed.
• The Export Tool program is a Java class file and is located in the
export/lib directory.
Using the Export Tool
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
To run the Export Tool, you must write scripts for exporting monitoring data. When writing scripts, you
must write several subcommands in a command file. When you run the Export Tool, subcommands in the
command file execute sequentially, and monitoring data is saved in files.
Here is a sample command file:
