Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management - Agent Option for Platform Description, User's Guide and Reference

2.4.1 Changing the storage location of performance data

Performance data collected by PFM - Agent for Platform is managed in the Store database of the Agent Store service of PFM - Agent for Platform. The following explains how to change the storage location for performance data.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command to change settings

(2) Editing the jpcsto.ini file to change settings (for Store version 1.0 only)

(1) Using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command to change settings

The Store database uses the following folders to manage the collected performance data. These folders can be changed by using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command. If you need the performance data collected before the Store database storage location is changed, execute the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command with the -move option specified. For details about the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference.

• Save destination folder
• Backup destination folder
• Partial backup destination folder^#
• Export destination folder
• Import destination folder^#

#: This folder can be set only when the Store version is 2.0.

The following table describes the options of the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command, including the values that can be specified.

Table 2-5 Options of the command that changes the performance data storage location

Item	Option	Specifiable value (Store 1.0)#	Specifiable value (Store 2.0)#	Default
Save destination folder	sd	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	Folder name of 1-214 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store
Backup destination folder	bd	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	Folder name of 1-211 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\backup
Partial backup destination folder	pbd	--	Folder name of 1-214 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\partial
Maximum backup generation number	bs	1 to 9	1 to 9	5
Export destination folder	dd	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\dump
Import destination folder	id	--	Folder name of 1-222 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\import

Legend:

--: This item cannot be set.

#

The folder name must be an absolute path name or a relative path name from the default Store database folder (installation-folder\agtt\store).

(2) Editing the jpcsto.ini file to change settings (for Store version 1.0 only)

If the Store version is 1.0, you can directly edit the jpcsto.ini file to change the settings of the above items.

(a) Setting items in jpcsto.ini

The following table lists the label names for which information can be edited in the jpcsto.ini file, and other information such as the values that can be specified.

Table 2-6 Performance-data storage location settings (under [Data Section] in jpcsto.ini)

Item	Label name	Specifiable value (Store 1.0)#1	Default
Save destination folder	Store Dir#2	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store
Backup destination folder	Backup Dir#2	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\backup
Maximum backup generation number	Backup Save	1 to 9	5
Export destination folder	Dump Dir#2	Folder name of 1-127 bytes	installation-folder\agtt\store\dump

#1

• The folder name must be an absolute path name or a relative path name from the default Store database folder (installation-folder\agtt\store).
• Characters that can be specified are alphanumeric characters, symbols, and spaces, excluding the characters listed below:
  ;, ,, *, ?, ', ", <, >, |
  
• If the specified value is invalid, the Agent Store service cannot start.

#2

You cannot specify the same folders for Store Dir, Backup Dir, and Dump Dir.

(b) Before editing the jpcsto.ini file

• When changing the Store database folder, make sure that the folder after the change has already been created.
• When the Store database folder is changed, performance data collected before the change can no longer be used. If the performance data collected before the change is needed, carry the data over as follows:
  
  1. Use the jpctool db backup (jpcctrl backup) command to back up the performance data stored in the Store database.
  2. Change the Store database folder as shown in (c) Editing the jpcsto.ini file.
  3. Use the jpctool db restore (jpcresto) command to restore the backed up data into the new folder.

(c) Editing the jpcsto.ini file

To edit the jpcsto.ini file:

1. Stop the PFM - Agent service.
   If PFM - Agent programs and services are active on the local host, stop them all.
   
2. Use a text editor, for example, to open the jpcsto.ini file.
3. Change the storage destination folder for performance data, for example.
   Modify the shaded areas below as needed.
   

   

   Note

   • Do not insert a space at the beginning of the line or before or after the equal sign (=).
   • (.) in each label value indicates the default storage destination folder (installation-folder\agtt\store) for the Store database of the Agent Store service. To change the storage destination, specify a relative path from the storage destination folder, or specify an absolute path.
   • The jpcsto.ini file also describes definition information in addition to the database storage destination folder. Therefore, do not change the values other than those in the [Data Section] section. If you change the values other than those in the [Data Section] section, Performance Management might not operate normally.
4. Save and close the jpcsto.ini file.
5. Start the Performance Management programs and services.

Note:

When you use this procedure to change the Store database folder, the performance data files are not deleted from the previous folder. If these files are no longer necessary, delete only the following files:

• All files with the .DB extension
• All files with the .IDX extension
