Directories and files (location, naming, and format)

The DataMart bulk resources directory has the following structure:

$PVM_BULK_HOME

(for example, this inventory FTP directory is /opt/datamart/importExportBulk) root directory for the bulk collector file sets, which is created when you install Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager DataMart. It is the location where the Bulk Collector pushes its profile directories (and file sets inside the profile directories). This is also the source profile directory for the pollinv command. It defaults to $PVM_HOME/importExportBulk.

bulk_N

all files related to a profile are stored in this directory (where N = the bulk collector number (ID) that you specified during Bulk Collector installation). All subelements created into the database using the current inventory profile are assigned to this collector.

Do

temporary directory used by the Bulk Collector when transferring files to Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager DataMart. When the transfer is complete, the Bulk Collector moves the files from this directory to the done directory. This directory is created by the Bulk Collector.

Done

source file sets directory for the inventory polling process (pollprofile command). Each resources file set is composed of two types of files (element and subelement). An optional file containing the inventory command arguments (args) can be appended to the file set. After each successful inventory command is run by the pollprofile command, the associated file set is deleted from this directory. This directory and its file sets are created by the Bulk Collector.

Dm

source file set directory for the inventory process (launched by the pollprofile command). Each inventory launched using this profile get its source files from this directory, and uses this directory as its working space. This is the case whether the inventory is launched automatically (pollprofile) or manually (by using the Inventory Tool or CLI). After each inventory (manual or automatic), the last file set used is not deleted. Since this directory working directory for the inventory command, it creates its working files and working directories at <profilename>/grouping, <profilename>/ groupingWait, <profilename>/inventory, <profilename>/synchro, profilename>/synchroWait. These directories are created by the pollinv command.
