Create PAL data sets from APM

This task describes how to create and export a .zip file of application related data and monitoring tools configuration (such as actions, transactions, load, traffic, RUM topology, and SiteScope monitors) from Application Performance Management (previously known as Business Service Management or BSM) to Performance Center.

You export the data for a specific application and for a selected time range. If the time range you select is greater than one hour, Application Performance Management (APM) calculates the busiest hour within the selected time range (based on the number of actions) and exports the data for that one hour period only. The data is exported to a number of different files, contained in a .zip file with the default name of <selected application name>_<selected start date and time>_<selected end date and time>.zip.

For more details on creating data sets from APM, see the APM Application Administration Guide.

Note: This task is part of a higher-level task. For details, see Create a testing environment using PAL.
