Analyzer Spreadsheet Converter

The CMF Analyzer Spreadsheet Converter automatically converts CMF Analyzer report data into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

The spreadsheets can be used for interactive, detailed analysis, creating graphs, or producing specialized reports. The Spreadsheet Converter can be installed on an unlimited number of PCs and used by any number of people in your organization.

The Spreadsheet Converter detects if you are using a language other than English, and displays the instruction screen in the same language as your copy of Excel, if possible.

Important

The Spreadsheet Converter is compatible only with Microsoft Excel 2000 and later, and does not need any additional hardware that is not part of the minimum requirements for running Excel.

The Spreadsheet Converter is a conversion tool only, designed to make viewing or manipulating the data in the CMF Analyzer or CMFMON reports easier. It only converts CMF Analyzer reports. BMC Software does not sell or support Microsoft Excel. Any questions about using Excel should be directed to Microsoft Corporation.

Maintenance and support

Since the Spreadsheet Converter is distributed as a mainframe file, it is maintained using standard SMP tools.

Maintenance

Updates to the Spreadsheet Converter will be distributed by way of the usual BMC Software Candidate and PUT mechanisms.

Emergency fixes can be sent by standard BMC Software maintenance procedures. Whenever a Spreadsheet Converter PTF is sent, the HOLDDATA file will alert you to the availability of an updated version that needs to be downloaded again. Use the same procedures for downloading as described in Installing-the-Spreadsheet-Converter-on-your-PC.

Customer Support

In order to work on an incident for the Spreadsheet Converter, BMC Software Customer Support personnel need a copy of the reports that were being converted.

It will also help if you send a copy of the resulting spreadsheet.

Since the report and spreadsheet files reside on your PC it should be possible to send them in either by e-mail, or by putting them on a diskette and mailing it in.
