Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide

6.2.2 Acquiring the system hierarchy

You can collect the system hierarchy definitions (configuration definition information) held by JP1/Base on the manager running IM Configuration Management and register them as configuration definition information in the manager's IM Configuration Management database.

Acquire the system hierarchy on the configuration definition information on the IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

The figure below shows the flow of processing when acquiring the system hierarchy with IM Configuration Management.

Figure 6-13 Acquiring the system hierarchy with IM Configuration Management

Acquire the system hierarchy when it has been changed, other than by using IM Configuration Management, as in the following situations:

When IM Configuration Management is deployed in an existing JP1/IM system

When the system hierarchy is altered by executing the jbsrt_distrib command on the manager running IM Configuration Management

The configuration definition information held in the IM Configuration Management database is updated when the system hierarchy is acquired. If you want to save the existing information before it is updated, you must export it in advance on the manager running IM Configuration Management.

After the acquisition, the system hierarchy is displayed as follows in IM Configuration Management:

Any unregistered hosts included in the acquired information are automatically registered in the IM Configuration Management database. No host information is acquired for these hosts, however. Instead, you must collect the information manually on the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.
If duplicated host names exist in the acquired information, an error message appears and the acquired information is not applied in the configuration definition information held in the IM Configuration Management database.
Make sure no hosts with the same host name exist in the configuration definition information.

Acquired information containing duplicated host names is discarded and the IM configuration tree appears grayed on the IM Configuration page.

If the acquired information differs from the information in the IM Configuration Management database, the affected host is represented by an error-status icon in the tree display area of the IM Configuration page.

If the configuration definition information held by JP1/Base on the manager running IM Configuration Management has been deleted, the following message appears: IM configuration does not exist. Do you want to reflect to the IM configuration maintained in server?
Click the Yes button to erase the deleted information from the IM Configuration Management database. Click the No button to keep the deleted information. This will make the system hierarchy appear grayed on the IM Configuration page.

When IM Configuration Management starts, configuration definition information is acquired automatically so that the information held by JP1/Base on the manager running IM Configuration Management can be checked for consistency with the definitions in the IM Configuration Management database.
