2.18.5 Settings during upgrading

(1) Changing the location of the event acquisition filter

If you had been using an event acquisition filter (for compatibility) with an old version of JP1/IM - Manager or JP1/IM - Central Console, you can change the location of the event acquisition filter from Event Console Service to Event Base Service by executing the jcochafmode command. If you change the location of the event acquisition filter to Event Base Service, the filter can be used not only for monitoring JP1 events but also for monitoring the status of automated actions and monitored objects. You can also define detailed filter conditions. Note that if you want to continue using the pre-upgrade event acquisition filter, there is no need to change the filter location.

Important note

Once you change the location of the event acquisition filter, you can no longer restore the previous event acquisition filter. Carefully consider the location of the event acquisition filter before you execute the jcochafmode command.

To change the location of the event acquisition filter:

1. Terminate JP1/IM - Manager.

2. Execute the jcochafmode command to change the location of the filter.

3. Start JP1/IM - Manager.

(2) Executing the Central Scope upgrade command

If you have upgraded JP1/IM - Central Scope from version 8 or earlier, apply the procedure below to execute the upgrade command. Until you execute the upgrade command, JP1/IM - Central Scope will run in the mode that is compatible with the old version of JP1/IM - Central Scope (no new functions can be used).

To execute the Central Scope upgrade command:

1. Terminate JP1/IM - Manager.

2. Check the available disk capacity.

   To execute the jp1csverup command in the next step, you will need sufficient free space for the monitoring object database. The monitoring object database includes all the data in the following directory:

   /var/opt/jp1scope/database/jcsdb/

3. Execute the jp1csverup command.

4. Execute the jbssetcnf command.

   Whether the following functions are enabled or disabled depends on the settings of the old version of JP1/IM - Central Scope:

   • Completed-action linkage function

   • Monitoring of the maximum number of status change events

   To enable these functions, execute the jbssetcnf command using the files shown in the table below as arguments.

   Table 2‒5: Setting files for enabling functions

   File name	Description
   action_complete_on.conf	File for enabling the completed-action linkage function
   evhist_warn_event_on.conf	File for enabling the JP1 event issuance function when the number of status change events for the monitored object exceeds the maximum value (100)

5. Start JP1/IM - Manager.

6. Use JP1/IM - View to connect to JP1/IM - Manager (JP1/IM - Central Scope) to check for any problems.

• About the jp1csverup command

  See jp1csverup (UNIX only) in 1. Commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

(3) Updating the automated action definition file

If you have upgraded JP1/IM - Central Console from version 08-01 or earlier, apply the procedure below to update the automated action definition file.

If you want to continue using the automated action definition file for version 08-01 or earlier as is, there is no need to perform this procedure.

To update the automated action definition file:

1. Terminate JP1/IM - Manager.

2. Execute the following jcadefconv command to update the automated action definition file:

   jcadefconv -i action-definition-file-name-before-conversion -o action-definition-file-name-after-conversion

3. Start JP1/IM - Manager.

• About the automated action function

  See 5. Command Execution by Automated Action in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

• About the jcadefconv command

  See jcadefconv in 1. Commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

(4) Displaying the source host

When you upgrade JP1/IM - Manager from version 9, source hosts are not set in the file that defines which items are displayed for event conditions. As a result, even if you enable mapping for source hosts, the list box in the Event conditions section does not display Source host in the Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window. If you want to display Source host in the list box in the Event conditions section in the Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window, you need to add E.JP1_SOURCEHOST in the file that defines which items are displayed for event conditions.

For details about the Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window, see 2.31.1 Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager GUI Reference.

For details about the file that defines which items are displayed for event conditions, see File that defines which items are displayed for event conditions (attr_list.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.
