IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Convert files using the KPDXTRA program
The conversion program, KPDXTRA, is called by the persistent data store maintenance procedures when the EXTRACT option is specified for maintenance. This program reads a data set containing the collected historical data and writes out two files for every table that has data collected for it. The processing of this data does not interfere with the continuous collection being performed.
Because the process is automatic, a brief overview of the use of the KPDXTRA program is provided here. For full information about the KPDXTRA program, review the sample JCL distributed with the Tivoli Monitoring product. The sample JCL is found as part of the sample job the KPDXTRA program contained in the sample libraries RKANSAM and TKANSAM.
