4. Go to the /program/monitor/UNIX directory on the CD-ROM, and copy the export.tar
file to the new directory you just created.
5. Decompress the export.tar file on your computer. The Export Tool is installed into the
installation directory.

file is no longer needed.
Using the Export Tool
After installing the Export Tool, you must prepare a command file and a batch file before you can
export any monitoring data. This section explains how to prepare a command file and a batch
file, and then how to run the Export Tool.
Preparing a command file
To run the Export Tool, you must write scripts for exporting monitoring data. When writing scripts,
you need to write several subcommands in a command file. When you run the Export Tool, the
subcommands in the command file execute sequentially and then the monitoring data is saved in
files.
