EXTRACT command

Edit online

The EXTRACT command causes an extract job to be started for the data store file named on the command. The job converts the table data in the data store file to delimited text format in new files, and then signals the originating Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to resume use of the data store file.

Important: The content in this section was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated.

For each table extracted from the data store file, two new files are created. One file contains the converted data and one file contains a record describing the format of each row in the first file.

Syntax

EXTRACT       FILE=DSN:dsname

where

dsname: Specifies the physical data set name of the file to have its data extracted.

EXTRACT logic

The logic for this command is similar to the BACKUP logic, except that the only option specified is an EXTRACT run with no initialization performed on the data set.
