2.3 List of functions

The following figure shows the functions of component programs used for system operation monitoring by JP1/IM - Manager.

Figure 2-8 Functions provided by the component products

[Figure]

JP1/IM - Manager is linked with the prerequisite product JP1/Base, and operates using the core functionality provided by JP1/Base. JP1/Base also runs on the agents in the JP1/IM - Manager system. JP1/IM - Manager thus has an inseparable relationship with JP1/Base.

The functions in the figure above are summarized below.
