2.4.1 Changing the performance data storage destination

The performance data collected by PFM - Agent for Service Response is managed in the Store database of the Agent Store service of PFM - Agent for Service Response. The following explains how to change the storage location for performance data.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command to change settings
(2) Editing the jpcsto.ini file to change settings (for Store version 1.0 only)

(1) Using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command to change settings

The Store database uses the following folders to manage the collected performance data. These folders can be changed by using the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command. If you need the performance data collected before the Store database storage location is changed, execute the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command with the -move option specified. For details about the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference.

The following table describes the options of the jpcconf db define (jpcdbctrl config) command, including the values that can be specified.

Table 2-3 Options of the command that changes the performance data storage location

Item Option Specifiable value (Store 1.0)# Specifiable value (Store 2.0)# Default
Save destination folder sd Folder name of 1-127 bytes Folder name of 1-214 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store
Backup destination folder bd Folder name of 1-127 bytes Folder name of 1-211 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\backup
Partial backup destination folder pbd -- Folder name of 1-214 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\partial
Maximum backup generation number bs 1 to 9 1 to 9 5
Export destination folder dd Folder name of 1-127 bytes Folder name of 1-127 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\dump
Import destination folder id -- Folder name of 1-222 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\import

Legend:

The folder name must be an absolute path name or a relative path name from the default Store database folder (installation-folder\agtv\store).

(2) Editing the jpcsto.ini file to change settings (for Store version 1.0 only)

If the Store version is 1.0, you can directly edit the jpcsto.ini file to change the settings of the above items.

(a) Setting items in jpcsto.ini

The following table lists the label names for which information can be edited in the jpcsto.ini file, and other information such as the values that can be specified.

Table 2-4 Performance-data storage location settings (under [Data Section] in jpcsto.ini)

Item Label name Specifiable value
(Store 1.0)#1
Default
Save destination folder Store Dir#2 Folder name of 1-127 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store
Backup destination folder Backup Dir#2 Folder name of 1-127 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\backup
Maximum backup generation number Backup Save 1 to 9 5
Export destination folder Dump Dir#2 Folder name of 1-127 bytes installation-folder\agtv\store\dump

#1
  • The folder name must be an absolute path name or a relative path name from the default Store database folder (installation-folder\agtv\store).
  • Characters that can be specified are alphanumeric characters, symbols, and spaces, excluding the characters listed below:
    ;, ,, *, ?, ', ", <, >, |
  • If the specified value is invalid, the Agent Store service cannot start.

(b) Before editing the jpcsto.ini file
(c) Editing the jpcsto.ini file

To edit the jpcsto.ini file:

  1. Stop the PFM - Agent services.
    If PFM - Agent programs and services are running at the local host, stop all of them.
  2. Use a program such as a text editor to open the jpcsto.ini file.
  3. Make necessary changes (for example, change performance data storage folders).
    Correct the shaded information shown below, as necessary.

    [Figure]

    Notes:
    • Do not enter any space characters at the beginning of a line, or before or after an equal sign (=).
    • A period (.) in a label value indicates the default storage folder for the Agent Store service's Store database (installation-folder\agtv\store). To change the storage folder, specify a path relative to this folder, or specify the absolute path.
    • To change the Store database storage location, you must already have created the folder that you specify here.
    • The jpcsto.ini file contains not only the database storage folder, but also definition information. Make sure that you do not change any values other than in the [Data Section] section. If a value outside the [Data Section] section is changed, Performance Management may not function normally.
  4. Save the jpcsto.ini file and then close it.
  5. Start the Performance Management programs and services.

Note:
When you use this procedure to change the Store database folder, the performance data files are not deleted from the previous folder. If these files are no longer necessary, delete only the following files:
  • All files with the .DB extension
  • All files with the .IDX extension
