Appendix F.1 Version compatibility of the system configuration

This section describes the system configuration of Performance Management to be combined when versions are mixed in the system configuration of Performance Management.

Organization of this subsection

(1) When PFM - Manager is 09-00 or later

(2) When PFM - Manager is 08-00 or later and 08-11 or earlier

(3) When PFM - Manager is 07-00 or 07-10

(4) When PFM - Manager is 06-70

(1) When PFM - Manager is 09-00 or later

With system configurations that use PFM - Manager 09-00 or later, you can monitor all versions of PFM - Agent and PFM - RM. However, PFM - Web Console 08-00 or later^# is required as a monitoring console server. Likewise, you cannot connect to certain versions of PFM - View.

#:

When operating PFM - RM, see F.4 Version compatibility of system configurations when operating PFM - RM.

In regards to agent events, events beginning with the message text KAV indicate the events issued when PFM - Base 09-00 or later is installed on an event-issuing agent host.

If you want to use the following functions, PFM - Web Console 09-00 or later must be installed on the same host as PFM - Manager or PFM - Base.

Use the jpcspm command to start or stop the PFM - Web Console services

Use the jpctool service list command to display the operating status of PFM - Web Console services

(2) When PFM - Manager is 08-00 or later and 08-11 or earlier

For a system configuration using PFM - Manager 08-00 or later and 08-11 or earlier, you can monitor all versions of PFM - Agent. Additionally, 08-00 or later of PFM - Web Console or 07-00 of PFM - View is required as a monitoring console. Version 08-00 or later of PFM - Manager cannot connect to 06-70 or earlier of PFM - View. The version available depends on the function you want to use.

PFM - View does not support the health check function. This function is supported by PFM - Web Console 08-11 or later. For details on the available versions, see the chapter in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide that describes how to detect problems in Performance Management.

PFM - View does not support the distribution of agent-specific properties as a batch. This function is supported by PFM - Web Console 08-11 or later.

The functionality for binding multiple alarm tables is supported by PFM - Manager 08-11 or later and PFM - Web Console 08-11 or later. This function is also supported by PFM - Agent 08-00 or later, and PFM - Base 08-11 or later on the same host as PFM - Agent.

When PFM - Agent is used in a Linux environment where UTF-8 encoding is specified in the LANG environment variable, you can only use double-byte characters in the following items if the connection-target PFM - Manager for the PFM - Agent and the PFM - Base on the same host as the PFM - Agent are version 08-11 or later.

Settings in alarm tables and alarm definitions

Filter condition expressions included in report definitions

Conditional expressions for field-level drilldown reports included in report definitions

LOGIF conditional expressions for specifying the collection conditions for performance data

Conditional expressions used by the ODBC driver to extract performance data

With version 08-00 of PFM - Manager or PFM - Base, use only 7-bit ASCII characters. Other characters might not display correctly in PFM - Web Console or PFM - View, or might cause the programs to not work correctly.

The following figure illustrates the system configuration that can be connected when PFM - Manager is 08-00 or later and 08-50 or earlier.

(3) When PFM - Manager is 07-00 or 07-10

In a system configuration using 07-00 or 07-10 of PFM - Manager, 07-00 or earlier of PFM - Agent can be monitored. 08-00 or later of PFM - Agent cannot be monitored.

Additionally, 07-00 of PFM - View is required as a monitoring console. Version 07-00 or later of PFM - Manager cannot connect to 08-00 or later of PFM - Web Console.

The following figure shows the system configurations that can be connected when PFM - Manager is 07-00 or 07-10.

(4) When PFM - Manager is 06-70

In a system configuration using 06-70 of PFM - Manager, only 06-70 of PFM - Agent can be monitored. Version 07-00 or later of PFM - Agent cannot be monitored.

Additionally, 07-00 or earlier of PFM - View is required. Version 06-70 or later of PFM - Manager cannot connect to 08-00 or later of PFM - Web Console.

The following figure shows the system configurations that can be connected when PFM - Manager is 06-70.
