Configuring the Repository Adapter 11
You can use the Repository adapter to export metrics from vCenter Operations Manager on a schedule that
you set. The destination can be a relational database or a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

Repository Adapter Requirements and Limitations
The Repository adapter has certain requirements and limitations.
Connection Requirements
You must configure a connection to the vCenter Operations Manager relational database for the Repository
adapter.
You do not configure a connection to the FSDB. The Repository adapter uses the local RMI configuration
(rmi.properties file) to connect to the Analytics service and retrieve FSDB data.
Database Requirements
If you plan to use the Repository adapter to export data to an output database rather than a CSV file, you must
create a table on the destination database server. You must also configure the source database and destination
database columns. The
vcenter-ops
\tools\RepositoryAdapter\conf directory contains several sample
creation scripts.
