15.Ensure that the bulk input files can be read.

To verify that the UBA application can read the bulk input files, follow these steps:

15-a. Place a bulk input file at the source input location.

—(Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 and later) The source input location for bulk input files is specified using the URI parameter from the pack XSD file, which you can view using the Topology Editor.

—(Tivoli Netcool/Proviso pre-v4.4.3 only) using the URI parameter from the template

The source input location for bulk input files is specified file, which you added to the dc.cfg file in a previous step.

Within the configured file retrieval interval (typically, five minutes), the UBA application retrieves the bulk input file and copies it to the following directory:

DATA_CHANNEL_HOME/UBA.<channel>.<collector>/<instance>/do/

where:

Variable Meaning

DATA_CHANNEL_HOME	Is /opt/datachannel, by default.
<channel>	Specifies the channel number (for example, 1) that you
	specified when configuring this DataChannel.
<collector>	Specifies the collector number (for example, 100) that you
	specified when configuring this UBA bulk collector.
<instance> (Tivoli Netcool/Proviso v4.4.3 and later)	Specifies the string for the INSTANCES parameter in the
	pack XSD file. Typically, this string represents the name of
	the pack and is read-only. You can view the string specified
	for INSTANCES by using the Topology Editor.
<instance> (Tivoli Netcool/Proviso pre-v4.4.3 only)	Specifies the string for the INSTANCES parameter in the
	pack template file. You were instructed to copy this
	parameter to the dc.cfg file in a previous step.

The UBA application then processes the bulk input file according to the instructions in the Bulk Adaptor Design File.

Note: The first time that the UBA processes a bulk input file, it passes a metric to the CME. The CME rejects this metric as a BAD_METRIC because the metric does not have an associated grouped subelement prior to the time this metric is recorded. This is expected behavior. The CME accepts metrics from the bulk input files after the inventory is run.

15-b. Ensure that the UBA application can successfully read the bulk input file that you copied into the source input location, by issuing a tail command similar to the following example:

tail -f DATA_CHANNEL_HOME/log/proviso.log grep UBA.<channel>.<collector>- more

The following table identifies the success messages that you should look for.
