Event
The UBA application connects to the database.
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.
— (443 only) The source input location for Bulk input files is specified using the URI parameter from the
pack's XSD file, which you can view using the Topology Editor.
— (Pre-443 only) The source input location for Bulk input files is specified using the URI parameter from
the template file, which you added to the
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
where:
Variable
DATA_CHANNEL_HOME
<channel>
<collector>
<instance> (443 only)
<instance> (pre-443 only)
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 sub-element 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 you copied into the source
input location by issuing a
452
/UBA.<channel>.<collector>/<instance>/do/
utility command similar to the following:
