5.4.1 Setting up the linkage between ITSLM and Performance Management (working with Performance Management)

(1) Before you start

• Verify that ITSLM - Manager, PFM - Manager, and PFM - Web Console have been installed and set up.

• Verify that ITSLM - Manager is terminated. For details about how to terminate ITSLM - Manager, see 2.1.4 Terminating ITSLM - Manager.

• Verify that a host name, not the IP address, is specified in the managerHost property in the system definition file (jp1itslm.properties) of ITSLM - Manager. If an IP address is specified, change it to the host name.

(2) Procedure

To set up the linkage between ITSLM and Performance Management:

1. In the system definition file (jp1itslm.properties) of ITSLM - Manager, specify the following properties:

   • pfmManagerHost (PFM - Manager's host name)

   • pfmManagerPort (PFM - Manager's port number^{#1, #2})

   • pfmWebConsoleURL (URL of PFM - Web Console that is to be started from ITSLM)

   • pfmReceivePort (Port number used by ITSLM - Manager to receive performance data^#2)

   #1: This port is used by the PFM - Manager service's View Server.

   #2: For details, see the description of network setup for linking with ITSLM in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

   Edit the system definition file of ITSLM - Manager. The system definition file is stored at the following location:

   ITSLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\jp1itslm.properties

2. If a firewall has been set up between ITSLM and Performance Management, set the firewall to open the ports that correspond to the following properties specified in step 1:

   • pfmManagerPort

   • pfmReceivePort

   Note that the port specified in the pfmReceivePort property is used for communications between ITSLM - Manager and monitoring agents. Therefore, configure the firewall between ITSLM - Manager and the monitoring agents so that the port specified in pfmReceivePort is open.

   Also check the following:

   Check if the firewall between ITSLM - Manager and PFM - Manager is configured so that the port specified for the pfmManagerPort property is open. If the port is not open, configure the firewall so that the port is open.

   Check if the ephemeral ports used for communication between ITSLM - Manager and PFM - Manager are open. If they are not open, configure the firewall so that the ephemeral ports are open or configure the firewall to allow communication from the following program:

   ITSLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\bin\system\jslmmadaptor.exe

   The following figure shows the correspondence between firewall locations and ports to be opened.

   

The setup needed in ITSLM to link with Performance Management is now complete.
