3 Save your changes and close the config.properties file.
Configure the Source and Destination Columns for the Repository Adapter
You must configure where the Repository Adapter puts exported data. The insertCommand statement in the
conf.properties file defines the columns in the output database and the source columns in the
vCenter Operations Manager database and FSDB. You can change the names of the columns in the output
database for your environment.
The sample conf.properties file includes all of the possible source fields. You can change the order of the
source fields or remove fields, but you cannot add source fields. If you change the source fields, you must also
change the output column list.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with the fields in the insertCommand statement in the conf.properties file. See “conf.properties
File,” on page 132.
Procedure
1 Open the conf.properties file in the
vcenter-ops \tools\RepositoryAdapter directory on the

2 Change TestTable to the correct name for your output table.
3 Modify the insertCommand statement to define the columns in the output database and the source columns
in the vCenter Operations Manager database and FSDB.
4 Save your changes and close the conf.properties file.
Set Operation Options for the Repository Adapter
You can set options to configure how much data the Repository Adapter retrieves from the database, how
many times the Repository Adapter tries to reconnect to the database, and the interval between database
reconnection attempts.
