Exporting your PCM data for conversion to ConsoleWorks

From TDiWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The commands below should get you started for exporting your PCM data.

$ CONSOLE EDIT
PCM Edit> export PCM_Database_Info.PORT

The CONSOLE EDIT command may require"/Interface=DECWindows" as a qualifier. Otherwise, when you get to the "PCM edit>" prompt, type in "HELP".

Once you have your PCM data, you may then go into the ConsoleWorks interface and under >Admin >Databse, select >Import Port file to bring in your PCM elements.

During the import, it is likely that you will get errors about Regular Expressions. The PCM "version" of Regular Expressions in event patterns is often not compliant with standard POSIX Regular Expressions. The best way to eliminate these problems is to edit the .port file and reimport the corrected file. The most common problem is the "*" character used alone when it should actually be ".*". Beware, there may be other improper use of Regular Expressions in patterns that are not flagged as errors. It is best to look carefully at all PCM Regular Expressions.
