User`s guide

After you finish customizing a table and its variables, on the table definition/properties window select
OK
.
It can take a long time for the data dictionary to be updated and the view or views to be recreated, perhaps several
minutes. If you have time to do this now, select OK; otherwise, select Cancel. (The next action describes what to
do later if you select Cancel now.) Then IT Service Vision returns you to the list of tables in your PDB.
After the last table, return to the main menu by selecting File and then End.
4. Build views.
Note: If you canceled out of view update, you will need to update your PDB views in background/batch if you want to
do reporting before the next time that you run the process step. (The process step updates views, as necessary.)
a. Create a file containing these statements.
* Building views;
%CPSTART( pdb=
your_test_pdb , mode=batch, access=write );
%CPCAT; cards4;
build views name=_all_ ;
/* The four semicolons must start in column one */
;;;;
%CPCAT( cat=work.temp.bldviews.source );
%CPDDUTL( entrynam=work.temp.bldviews.source, list=yes );
where your_test_pdb is the name of your PDB, %CPCAT will load a catalog entry with a control statement and
%CPDDUTL will apply that control statement to the PDB.
For more information on the BUILD VIEWS control statement, see the Reference Documentation for IT Service
Vision.
b. Start SAS from your operating system prompt as follows.
UNIX
sas filename -terminal -batch -dmsbatch -fsdevice ascii.vt100
WNT
start /w c:\m612_win\sas -sysin filename -dmsbatch -icon
where filename is the name of the file that contains the above statements.
Or, submit the statements (if the IT Service Vision server software is already running), in the PROGRAM
EDITOR window. Type the set of statements and select Locals and Submit.
5. Log and collect another day’s data.
As necessary, modify the logging and collection software to provide the collected metrics.
For details, see Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection Software
. Remember to keep the polling interval short
enough that at least two full polling intervals occur between process runs.
Wait approximately six hours to one day for additional data to be logged and collected if you have modified the logging
and collection software.
