Use the tacmd histstartcollection command
to start the data collection in the warehouse database for specified
attribute group name(s).
Note:
If you want to use the current tacmd tepsLogin values for username, password,
and server hostname, do not enter any of these options for the histstartcollection command. If you specify values
for some, but not all of these options, you are prompted to specify
the username and password if they are missing.
Note:
To start historical collection for a historical collection
group (and therefore the historical collections in the group), use
the tacmd editgroup command to edit the group's
distribution list.
tacmd histstartcollection
{-t|--type} PRODUCTTYPE
{-o|--object} ATTRIBUTEGROUPNAME...
{-n|--temsname} TEMSNAME...
[{-u|--userid} TEPS_USERID]
[{-w|--password} TEPS_PASSWORD]
[{-s|--server} TEPSHOSTNAME]
tacmd histstartcollection
{-a|--collection} COLLECTIONNAME...
{-m|--system} MSN_OR_MSL...
[{-u|--userid} TEPS_USERID]

tacmd histstartcollection
{-a|--collection} COLLECTIONNAME...
{-n|--temsname} TEMS_NAME...
[{-u|--userid} TEPS_USERID]
[{-w|--password} TEPS_PASSWORD]
[{-s|--server} TEPSHOSTNAME]
where:
- -a|--collection
- Specifies the collection group names to be started.
- -m|--system
- Specifies the managed systems or managed system groups names
to be started.
- -s|--server
- Specifies the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server hostname to
log on to. By default, the local hostname is taken.
- -u|--userid
- Specifies the user to authenticate. The software prompts you
for the User ID if you do not specify one. The User ID specified must
have Configure History permission.
- -w|--password
- Specifies the password of the user to authenticate. If not specified,
you are prompted to give the password. The software prompts you for
the password if you do not specify one.
- -t|--type
- Specifies the product code or product name to list its attribute
groups. Use the tacmd histlistproduct command
to determine the codes and names.
- -o|--object
- Specifies the attribute group names for collection to be started.
When multiple attribute groups are specified, each attribute group
must be separated by a space. Use the tacmd histlistattributegroups command to find the correct values to use.
- -n|--temsname
- Specifies the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server names for
collection to be started. If the names are not defined, it will take
the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server name where the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server is connected. If more than one Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server exists in the environment, this
argument is mandatory. When multiple Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Servers are specified, each monitoring
server must be separated by a space.
This example start the historical data collection for the attribute
group “NT Processor":
tacmd histstartcollection -s LEVER2 -t “Windows OS" -o “NT Processor "
-n HUB_LEVER2 -u Administrator -w tivoli123$
