8.3.1 Collecting profiles

In profile collection, profile information is collected after profile lists are collected from agents.

Two methods are available for collecting JP1/Base profiles from agents, depending on how you want to collect the profiles. These two methods are explained below.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Batch-collecting profiles

(2) Collecting profiles from hosts individually

(1) Batch-collecting profiles

This subsection explains how to batch-collect JP1/Base profiles from all hosts defined in the system hierarchy. To batch-collect profiles, use the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

Profiles cannot be batch-collected in the following cases:

• A configuration file exists for which another user has acquired exclusive editing rights.
• Another user is batch-collecting profiles.
• Another user is batch-applying the edited content of the configuration file.

To batch-collect profiles:

1. In the IM Configuration Management window, click the Host List or IM Configuration tab.
   The Host List page or IM Configuration page opens.
   
2. From the menu bar, choose Operation and then Batch Collect Profiles.
   Batch collection of profiles is executed. The execution result is output to the Log window.
   When a message confirming batch collection of profiles is issued, click Yes. Profile collection is executed and the collected profiles are saved in the manager on which IM Configuration Management is running.
   

In the Display/Edit Profiles window, you can check the status of profiles after the execution of batch collection. If there are any profiles that could not be collected, Configuration file contents in the node information display area becomes inactive and the status of the profile(s) is displayed in Status.

On the IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window, you can check the status of hosts after the batch collection of profiles is executed. If there are any profiles that could not be collected, an icon indicating an error status is displayed as the host icon in the tree pane of the IM Configuration page. You can view the details by clicking the Basic Information button in the node information display area of the IM Configuration page.

(2) Collecting profiles from hosts individually

This subsection explains how to collect JP1/Base profiles from hosts individually.

This function targets hosts on which JP1/Base Version 9 is running. To collect profiles from hosts individually, use the Display/Edit Profiles window.

If a configuration file exists for which another user has acquired exclusive editing rights, profiles cannot be collected from hosts individually.

To collect profiles from hosts individually:

1. In the IM Configuration Management window, click the IM Configuration tab.
   The IM Configuration page opens.
   
2. In the tree pane, select the host from which to collect a profile.
3. Use either of the following methods to open the Display/Edit Profiles window:
   
   • From the menu bar, choose Display and then Display Profiles.
   • From the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse, choose Display Profiles.
4. From the tree pane, select a JP1 product name (JP1/Base), and use either of the following methods to acquire exclusive editing rights:
   
   • From the menu bar, choose Edit and then Exclusive Editing Settings.
   • From the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse, choose Exclusive Editing Settings.
   You can then acquire exclusive editing rights to the JP1 product (JP1/Base of the target host).
   
5. Click the Configuration File button.
   The Configuration File page opens.
   If the configuration file has never been edited, clicking the Configuration File button automatically collects the configuration file.
   
6. From the tree pane, select the profile to be collected and use either of the following methods to collect the profile.
   
   • From the menu bar, choose Operation and then Collect Profiles.
   • From the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse, choose Collect Profiles.
   When a message confirming collection of the target profile from the agent is issued, click Yes. Profiles are collected and saved in the manager on which IM Configuration Management is running.
