IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Convert history files to delimited flat files on HP NonStop Kernel Systems
If you selected the option to collect and store data to a data warehouse, that option is mutually exclusive with running the file conversion programs described in this chapter. To use these conversion procedures, you must have specified Off for the Warehouse option on the History Collection Configuration window of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
The history files collected using the rules established in the History Configuration program can be converted to delimited flat files for use in a variety of popular applications to manipulate the data and create reports and graphs. Use the krarloff rolloff program to manually invoke file conversion. For best results, schedule conversion to run every day.
Support is provided for IBM Tivoli Monitoring for WebSphere MQ Configuration and for IBM Tivoli Monitoring for WebSphere MQ Monitoring running on the HP NonStop Kernel operating system (formerly Tandem). For information specific to IBM Tivoli Monitoring for WebSphere MQ Monitoring relating to historical data collection, see the Customizing Monitoring Options topic found in your version of the product documentation.
- Conversion process on HP NonStop Kernel Systems
When setting up the process that converts the history files you have collected to delimited flat files, schedule the process manually by running the krarloff rolloff program. Run history file conversion every 24 hours.
