RESTORING DATA COLLECTION CONDITIONS

Generating Reports

The system tables and data for the date(s) you’re interested in should now be in the correct locations on the hard disk. To generate the reports you want, follow the instructions under the heading “How to Generate Reports” in Section 7.

Now that you have the historical reports, you have to restore the hard disk to its previous condition. Otherwise, CMS cannot effectively store new data when it resumes managing calls. To do this, you erase the historical data from the hard disk–they remain saved on the diskette–and restore the current system tables to the proper file.

Erasing the Historical Data from the Hard Disk

To erase the historical data from the hard disk, do the following:

1To get to the cmsrept directory, type

c d \ c m s

and then type

cd cmsrept

2To erase a data file, type

erase c:dyymmdd.cms

where yymmdd is the date of the data file to be erased.

NOTE: You can also use the “delete” command, as follows:

delete c:dyymmdd.cms

(in place of “erase”).

Restoring the Current System Tables

To restore the current system tables to their appropriate place in the cms directory, do the following:

1To get to the cmsmgmt directory, type

c d \ c m s

and then type

cd cmsmgmt

2To restore the system tables, type

copy temp systbls.cms

You should now have the historical reports you wanted, and CMS should be ready to store new data.
