Running the batch file

To save monitoring data in files, launch Export Tool by running the batch file.

c:\WINDOWS> cd c:\export        
c:\export> runWin.bat          

Dots (...) appear on the screen until the system finishes exporting data. If an internal error occurs, an exclamation mark (!) appears, and then Export Tool restarts automatically.

Example of command prompt outputs from Export Tool:

Loading ExportTool...
Export tool start [Version 80-xx-xx/xx]
command file = c:\export\command.txt
[ 2] ip 158.214.135.57:1099   
[ 3] dkcsn 123456          
[ 4] login User = expusr, Passwd = [****************]    
   :
   :
[ 6] group Port                        
   :
   :
[20] apply                             
Start gathering port data              
Target = 16, Total = 16
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
...........................!           
.................................      
End gathering port data                

It might take time after "Loading Export Tool" is displayed before "Export tool start [Version 80-xx-xx/xx]" is displayed in the command prompt. The time depends on the connection environment between the computer executing Export Tool and the SVP. The following table shows the approximate time period.

By default, the system compresses monitoring data files into a ZIP-format archive file. When you want to view the monitoring data, you can decompress and extract the CSV files from the ZIP archive. If the operating system on your computer does not include a way to extract files from a ZIP archive, you need to obtain software to view the data.

You can change the default method of exporting files to an uncompressed format. However, the resulting files could be significantly larger and take longer to compile. For more information, see option.
