You define business groups so that you can group managed hosts in Performance Management. You must also establish the correspondences between the defined business groups and the JP1 resource groups.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Before you start
-
In Performance Management, perform the setup required for using business groups. Also, see 5.3.2 Business groups to check the concept of business group creation and determine the range of managed hosts to be included in the business groups. For details about the settings, see the description of business group setup and operations in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
-
Verify the names of the JP1 resource groups that were added in 5.3.3 Setting up the users who will be using Performance Management (PFM authentication mode) or 5.3.4 Setting up the users who will be using Performance Management (JP1 authentication mode) to establish the correspondences to the business groups.
(2) Procedure
This subsection provides an overview of the business group creation procedure. For details about the settings, see the description of business group setup and operations in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.
To create business groups:
-
Create a business group definition file.
In the business group definition file, specify each business group name and the JP1 resource group and host name that correspond to each business group name.
-
Check the validity of the business group definition file, and then import it to Performance Management.
When the command terminates normally, business group creation is complete.
