Extract Data to a File

To perform further analysis, you can extract event data to a comma-delimited file for processing by external analysis or reporting tools. You can extract the data to a data set or z/OS UNIX file.

To extract data

  1. (Optional) Define a sequential data set with the following attributes to extract the network data into this data set:

    RECFM: VB

    Record length: 502

  2. Enter /IPHIST at the prompt.

    The TCP/IP : History Data panel appears.

  3. Enter EX - Extract All TCP/IP Events to Dataset at the prompt.

    The Extract Events panel appears.

  4. Enter the name of the data set for file to which to extract the data in the Dataset or HFS File field.

    The TCP/IP management region extracts all records from IPLOG in the events database (NDB) to the specified data set or file. On completion, a notification is sent using Broadcast Services.

  5. Transfer the data set or file to your PC or LAN, and save it with a .CSV extension.
  6. Use this .CSV file as input to your preferred PC application, and import this file as a comma-delimited format file.
  7. Analyze your data by applying facilities such as graphs and charts, tables, and macros.

Note: From WebCenter, you can download the data in CSV or PCAP format directly to your PC.
