Cabletron SPECTRUM Appendix 4: Defining IT Service Vision Tables for SPECTRUM
Data
There are a number of methods for defining IT Service Vision tables for SPECTRUM data. For instance,
IT Service Vision supplies table definitions for many common SPECTRUM model types. You can use those table
definitions directly (by adding them from the master data dictionary to the PDB’s data dictionary). Or you can use those
table definitions as templates for a table definition for a different model type.
If a supplied table definition is not available for a model type whose data you want to use,
i. you can create table definitions for the new model type by using the IT Service Vision server’s interactive
interface. After the table definition is created, you can use it as you would use any supplied table definition.
ii.
you can use the IT Service Vision %CSATR2DD macro to create CPDDUTL control statements based on
information that you export from SPECTRUM. When you run %CPDDUTL on the control statements,
%CPDDUTL creates the corresponding table definition for that model type. After the table definition is created,
you can use it as you would any supplied table definition.
This appendix describes a simplified version of the input, syntax, and parameters of the %CSATR2DD macro. If you need more
information about the %CSATR2DD macro, see the Macro Reference documentation for IT Service Vision.
For information on %CPDDUTL, see the Macro Reference documentation for IT Service Vision.
Input Required to Run the %CSATR2DD Macro
To create CPDDUTL control statements, the %CSATR2DD macro requires the statistics data set (which you exported earlier in
this chapter), the model data set (which you exported earlier in this chapter), the model type data set and the attributes data set
(which you would need to export in the same way that you exported the other two data sets).
Using these data sets as input, %CSATR2DD writes CPDDUTL CREATE VARIABLE control statements for each variable in
the statistics data set.
For more information on exporting data from SPECTRUM into SAS data sets, see Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection
Software.
For information on %CPDDUTL, see the Macro Reference documentation for IT Service Vision.
Syntax of the %CSATR2DD Macro
The %CSATR2DD macro has the following keyword syntax
%CSATR2DD( MODTYP=, ATTR=, STAT=, MODEL=,
EXTATTR=, OUTFILE=, FORMATS=NO,
WHICHAID=, WHICHMTH=, WHICHTAB=NEW, WHICHVAR=ALL,
BIGTEMP=, DATSTAMP=YES, MAXNAMES=512);
The important parameters are described below. For information about the others, see the Macro Reference documentation for IT
Service Vision. For the definition of the specgway libref, see Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process, Reduce, and
Report on Your Data.
MODTYP=
This parameter identifies the model type data set that you exported using SPECTRUM. Use a two-level
name in the form libref.datasetname, where the SPECTRUM default datasetname is modtyp whether
you did the export with SDE (SPECTRUM version 4.x) or Gateway (SPECTRUM version 3.x). For
example:
