4.2.3 Exporting maintenance command logs

Use this task to export provisioning log commands and their responses to a database. The exported files are copied to a remote server. This is a server other than the single remote server supported by APDE. The files are then deleted from the local system after the transfer is complete. Files exported to the file management area can be viewed and imported on the local system.

Note:

The export file is in CSV format.

1. Select SDS, and then Maintenance, and then Command Log.
2. Click Export.
3. Choose the filtering operators to filter and control command log exportation functionality.
   The fields are described in Table 4-5.

   Table 4-5 Exporting Command Log Filtering Operators

   Operator	Description
   None	No filter
   System ID	View exported logs by System ID
   CID	View exported logs by CID
   Log Text	View exported logs by Log Text

4. Enter the maximum number of records to display.
5. Enter the export logs value for last number of hours.
6. Set the export frequency to determine to select how often the data is written to the export directory. The export frequency gives you a way to limit the size of the export to a configurable number of hours prior to the start of the export. This helps you control system resources that are used for the export function.
7. Enter a periodic export task name.
8. Enter a name for this export file.
9. Enter a periodic export task description.
10. Select the directory in which the export file or files will be placed. Exported files are automatically overwritten in the Data Export Server Directory if the remote server is set up. The files are then deleted from the local system after the transfer. Files exported to the File Management Directory can be viewed and imported on the local system.
    The Remote Server is configured through Multiple Export Server on the Administration -> Remote Servers -> Data Export page..

    See Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) User's Guide for information about Multiple Export Server and Filename Prefix. Filename Prefix is an optional export filename prefix that pre-pends the generated export filename.

11. Select the minute of each hour when the data is written to the export directory.
12. Select the time of day when the data is written to the export directory.
13. Select the day of week when the data is written to the export directory.
14. Click OK.
