Abstract
Methods and systems for transferring bulk data, such as workload operation statistics, are disclosed. One method includes communicatively connecting a first computing system to a second computing system that stores bulk data, and determining a subset of the bulk data to be requested. The method further includes forming one or more extraction ranges representing the subset of the bulk data. For each of the one or more extraction ranges, the method includes transmitting a request for data including an identification of the extraction range, and receiving a data block defined by the extraction range and extracted from the bulk data.
Claims20
A method of transferring bulk data comprising:
- communicatively connecting a first computing system to a second computing system, the second computing system storing bulk data;
- determining a subset of the bulk data to be requested by the first computing system;
- forming one or more extraction ranges representing the subset of the bulk data;
- and
- for each of the one or more extraction ranges:
- transmitting a request for data from the first computing system to the second computing system, the request for data including an identification of the extraction range;
- and
- receiving a data block from the second computing system, the data block defined by the extraction range and extracted from the bulk data.
A system for obtaining data from a host computing system, the system comprising:
- an analysis computing system communicatively connected to the host computing system, the analysis computing system including a memory configured to store one or more database files, the analysis computing system configured to:
- communicatively connect the analysis computing system to the host computing system, the host computing system storing bulk data;
- determine a subset of the bulk data to be requested system;
- form one or more extraction ranges representing the subset of the bulk data;
- and
- for each of the one or more extraction ranges:
- transmit a request for data to the host computing system, the request for data including an identification of the extraction range;
- receive a data block from the host computing system, the data block defined by the extraction range and extracted from the bulk data;
- and
- upon receipt of all of the data blocks from the host computing system, store the data blocks in the database file.
A system for obtaining data relating to workload operation statistics comprising:
- a plurality of host computing systems each storing a log file of workload operation statistics of that host computing system;
- an analysis computing system communicatively connected to the plurality of host computing systems, the analysis computing system including a memory configured to store one or more database files, the analysis computing system configured to:
- communicatively connect to each of the plurality of host computing systems, each host computing system storing a log file including workload operation statistics;
- determine a subset of the workload operation statistics to be requested from each of the host computing systems;
- form one or more extraction ranges representing the subset of the workload operation statistics for each host computing system;
- and
- for each of the one or more extraction ranges and each of the host computing systems:
- transmit a request for data to the host computing system, the request for data including an identification of the extraction range;
- receive a data block from the host computing system, the data block defined by the extraction range and extracted from the log file;
- and
- store the data block in a database file at the analysis computing system, the database file thereby containing workload operation statistics for a plurality of host computing systems.
