To update an instance environment:

  1. Check the name of the instance.
    Execute the jpcconf inst list command with the service key that indicates PFM - RM for Platform specified.
    jpcconf inst list -key RMPlatform
    For example, if the set instance name is inst1, the command displays inst1.

  2. If any services of PFM - RM for Platform are running in the instance environment that you want to update, stop all of them.
    For details about how to stop services, see the chapter that describes starting and stopping Performance Management in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
    If a service of the instance environment that is to be updated is running during execution of the jpcconf inst setup command, a confirmation message is displayed to enable you to stop the service. When you stop the service, the update processing resumes. If you do not stop the service, the update processing is canceled.

  3. Execute the jpcconf inst setup command with the service key that indicates PFM - RM for Platform and the instance name specified.
    For example, to update an instance environment whose instance name is inst1, execute the following command:
    jpcconf inst setup -key RMPlatform -inst inst1
