5.4.6 Changing PFM - Web Console settings

Use the Windows initialization file (config.xml) to set the environment necessary to operate PFM - Web Console.

The Windows initialization file (config.xml) is stored in installation-folder\conf\.

Note:
The Windows initialization file (config.xml) is loaded when a PFM - Web Console service starts. Restart the PFM - Web Console service to enable the settings you changed in the Windows initialization file. Change only the required information. PFM - Web Console might not operate correctly if you change locations that are not specified.

Items to set in the Windows initialization file are described below.

Organization of this subsection

#1
You must specify this item in bytes. However, if the last byte is used by a multi-byte character, the whole multi-byte character is displayed.

#2
When the interval between automatic update requests exceeds the period limit, then the server and agent determine that the report has ended without a notification and processing is terminated. However, whether the request interval exceeds the time period limit is determined every 10 seconds.
For example, when the time period limit is set to 61,000 milliseconds, the time period ranges from 61,000 to 70,000 milliseconds.

#3
The default config.xml file does not contain settings for realtimeCacheInterval and bookmarkRepository.
To add these settings, see the description of the initialization file (config.xml) in the appendixes of the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference, and add the items to the config.xml file located at installation-folder\conf\.

To add these settings, see the description of the initialization file (config.xml) in the appendixes of the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference, and add the items to the config.xml file located at installation-folder\conf\.

#2
This setting is required if you use Performance Management in a firewall environment. For details, see the description of firewall routing in the appendixes of the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference.

(e) Automatic logout settings

The following table lists and describes the config.xml file items that determine the length of time before users are automatically logged out from PFM - Web Console.

Table 5-22 Automatic logout settings

Content Item Available value Default value
Length of time before automatic logout from PFM - Web Console (seconds) sessionTimeout 0 - 86,400 4,000

(2) Procedure to return a changed Windows initialization file (config.xml) to the default

It is possible that the configuration of the config.xml file is changed when the version upgrade is performed. After the version upgrade, use the following procedure to reflect the edited content of the config.xml file in the new config.xml file.

To return a changed Windows initialization file to the default:

  1. Check the content of installation-folder\conf\config.xml and take note of the edited content.
  2. Backup installation-folder\conf\config.xml.
  3. Overwrite installation-folder\sample\conf\config.xml on the installation-folder\conf\config.xml.
  4. Apply the edited content you checked in step 1 in new-installation-folder\conf\config.xml.

Restart PFM - Web Console when you change the Windows initialization file since the Windows initialization file is updated when PFM - Web Console starts.

Note:
When you wish to return the data of the config.xml file to the previous status, copy the config.xml file in installation-folder\sample\conf\ and overwrite on the above folder.
