About Siebel ARM Post-Processing Tool

The Siebel ARM post-processing tool parses the files created by the Siebel ARM feature and generates extensible markup language (XML) analytic results or comma-separated value (CSV) results. Run the Siebel ARM post-processing tool manually at the command-line. For details on how to run the Siebel ARM post-processing tool, see Converting Siebel ARM Files.

This command-line utility resides in the bin subdirectory (BIN) of the Siebel Server root directory as the executable program sarmanalyzer.exe on Microsoft Windows or sarmanalyzer on UNIX.

Monitoring the Siebel application can result in large Siebel ARM files. In some cases, the Siebel ARM post-processing tool cannot allocate enough memory to convert extremely large binary Siebel ARM files. In this situation, use the -p flag with the Siebel ARM post-processing tool to split the Siebel ARM file into smaller files. For information on this flag, see Table 8.
