IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Scheduling basic automatic history conversions
Use itmcmd history to schedule automatic conversions by the UNIX cron facility. To schedule a basic automatic conversion, enter the following at the command line:
./itmcmd history -A n prod_code
where n is a number from 1-24. This number specifies the number of times per day the data conversion program runs, rounded up to the nearest divisor of 24. The product code is also required.
For example, the following command means to run history conversion every three hours:
itmcmd history -A 7 ux
