Section 2, Task 4: Set Up Your Production Job Prerequisite 2: You have IT Service Vision prototypes and your collector's prototypes for the production job

The prerequisite files for moving your PDB into production status are:

1. the shell script prototypes that IT Service Vision supplies.

   There are examples of batch processing scripts for your IT Service Vision PDB in the IT Service Vision Showroom. These scripts automate the logging of data from your collector as well as the processing of and reporting on the data.

   There are complete instructions in the Showroom for automating the logging, processing, and reporting on data from the following collectors:

   There are simple examples of batch processing scripts that automate the logging of data from the following collectors in the IT Service Vision Showroom Script Examples.

   There is also an example script that automates the running of these scripts on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis in the IT Service Vision Showroom Script Examples.

   To create batch scripts that automate the logging of data from other collectors, see your collector vendor's documentation.

   Note: Any mention of the pr_script later in this document refers to the processing and reducing script for your collector.

2. the batch/background files that you generated in Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process, Reduce, and Report on Data and revised in Section 2, Task 3: Customize Your Report Definitions.
   
   
   1. Edit the start, process, and reduce code into a single file in the following order:
      
      
      • the code that starts IT Service Vision and processes the data into the PDB.
        
        
      • the code that reduces the data in the PDB.

      This combined file is your collector's version of the IT Service Vision prototype pr_script file.

   2. Edit the code for generating the reports into a single file in any order.

      This combined file is your collector's version of the reporting macros that are included in the IT Service Vision prototype file named csdaily. Note that csdaily also includes other statements tat you will need.
