TDC Data Performance Collector

[Paul Whapshott]

I have just installed and using this free product but am having problems with extracting data collected as below;

$ TDC COLLECT/START=09:19/INTER=10/COUNT=30 ALL

This produces a TDC$COLLECTION.TDC$DAT

I then attempt to extract with the following command;
$ TDC EXTRACT/CONVERT/FORMAT=FILE /COLLECTION_FILE=TDC$COLLECTION.TDC$DAT;/OUT=TDC.OUT

The following is then output with no TDC.OUT file produced ;
%TDC-E-STATUS, ERROR message from TDC API at 22-FEB-2008 09:30:47.46
[Snapshot: 0; State: Reading snapshot]
=============== begin ===============
File: TDC_APIPROCCTL.C

Any ideas?

Thanks

According to the help, /FORMAT=FILE is not supported:

/FORMAT: format_type - selects a conversion format (currently LIST, CSV, or TLC

To create reports and graphs from TDC data you may use the ECP package.

Thanks,

I do get the same error even when specifying file=csv.

I played a little and noticed, that e.g. the following will work:


TDC EXTRACT/CONVERT=(SYS,MEM)/FORMAT=CSV/OUTPUT=TDC$SYSMEM.CSV/col=SAP01_20080215.TDC$DAT;1

Issuing a plain /CONVERT produces the error.
