Perform the Query
Lets you perform the query from this computer or from a
remote server.
Perform the Query from this Computer
Click this option to run the
query from this computer.
This option will access the Inventory database on
the specified database server and export the
data in to a comma separated value (CSV) file.
Perform the Query on a Remote Server
Click this option to run the data export tool
from any server that has Workstation Inventory components
installed.
Accessing the Inventory database from a
server is recommended if you are exporting
data from a large database or if you have
specified complex queries for filtering
the workstations.
After you choose this option, you will
be prompted to save the data export
settings to a configuration file (.EXP).
From the server console:
- Run DBEXPORT.NCF on NetWare®
servers or DBEXPORT.BAT on Windows* NT*/2000
servers. Type
DBEXPORT configuration_filename.EXP csv_filename.CSV
where configuration_filename.EXP is an existing file that
contains the data export settings.
The data exported from the database will be stored in the
csv_filename.CSV file.
The corresponding .CFG file for the .EXP file should
be in the same folder as the .EXP file. The .CFG
file contains the list of the database attributes to be exported.
- Choose the Inventory sites.
- To export the data from all database sites
satisfying the filter conditions specified for the
workstations, type 0.
- To select sites, type the numbers corresponding to the site names
in the displayed list.
- To select multiple site databases, separate the site numbers
corresponding to the site names by commas.
The number of workstations displayed indicates the status of the
data export.
To view the exported data, open the .CSV file in Microsoft* Excel,
or any other CSV-supported viewer.
