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

Format of record explanations

This chapter describes PFM - Agent for Platform records in alphabetical order. The explanation of each record consists of the following items:

Function

Provides an overview and notes on the performance data stored in each record.

Default values and values that can be specified

The default values of the performance data collection conditions that are set in each record and the values that the user can specify in place of the default values are shown in a table. The table below explains the meaning of the items described in Default values and values that can be specified. For details about the items shown in this table, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

Table 5-1 Default values and changeable values

Item Meaning Modifiable

Collection Interval Performance data collection interval (seconds). Yes: Can be modified
No: Cannot be modified

Collection Offset^#¹ Offset value for starting the collection of performance data (seconds). For details about the offset value, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
For details about the start time of performance data collection, see the chapter explaining the functions of Performance Management in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Log Indicates whether to register the collected performance data in the Store database:
Yes: Recorded. However, the data is not recorded if Collection Interval=0.
No: Not recorded.

LOGIF Condition for determining whether to register the collected performance data in the Store database.

Sync Collection With^#2 Indicates whether to collect performance data synchronously with the record displayed in the Description record property. For details, see the chapter explaining management of operation monitoring data in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

#1

A value of between 0 and 32,767 seconds (the value within the range specified for Collection Interval). Use this item to distribute the collection load, because executing data collection all at once results in processing load concentration. Note that the data collection duration to be recorded is the same as the Collection Interval, regardless of the value specified for Collection Offset.

#2

If Sync Collection With is displayed, neither Collection Interval nor Collection Offset is displayed.

ODBC key fields

Shows the ODBC key fields required to use an SQL statement in PFM - Manager or PFM - Base to utilize the record data stored in the Store database. Some ODBC key fields are common to all records while others are unique to some records. Only those ODBC key fields that are unique to each record are shown for each record. Only multi-instance records have unique ODBC key fields.

For details about the ODBC key fields common to all records, see List of ODBC key fieldsin this chapter. For details about how to use ODBC key fields, see the chapter explaining operation analysis linked with an ODBC-compatible application program in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

For details about lifetime, see the chapter explaining the functions of Performance Management in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Record size

Indicates the size of performance data that is stored in each record in a single collection operation.

Fields

PFM - View name
Indicates the field name (PFM - View name) that is displayed in PFM - Web Console.

Explanation
The performance data stored in each field is explained below.
A hash mark (#) in a table indicates that the value in the field is the latest monitored value returned by the OS during collection.
The following methods are used for collecting performance data for the individual fields:
