5.3.3 Setting up the users who will be using Performance Management (PFM authentication mode)
When you link SLM with Performance Management, you must grant the SLM users the operation permissions for the JP1 resource groups corresponding to Performance Management's business groups. You can register JP1 resource groups in JP1/Base's JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box. For details, see the section that describes setup of JP1 users in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Before you start
Verify that Performance Management has been installed and set up. For details about how to install and set up Performance Management, see the SLM/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
Verify that the PFM authentication mode has been set up as Performance Management's user authentication mode. If you are using the JP1 authentication mode, see 5.3.4 Setting up the users who will be using Performance Management (JP1 authentication mode).
Verify that the SLM users who will be using Performance Management have been registered. For details about setup of SLM users, see 5.2.2 Setting up JP1 users in JP1/Base.
Check the correspondence between SLM's service groups and Performance Management's business groups, and verify the user names of SLM's JP1 users (service group administrators or service users) to which permissions for the business groups are to be granted.
(2) Procedure
PFM - Web Console is used to set up Performance Management users' accounts. For details, see the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
To set up JP1 users, use JP1/Base's JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box or a JP1/Base command. This subsection explains the procedure that uses the JP1/Base Environment Settings dialog box. For details, see the section that describes setup of JP1 users in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
To set up the users who will be using Performance Management:
Log in to PFM - Web Console as a user who has a user account with administrator user permissions, and then create a performance management user account that is authorized to monitor the target business group.
- Tip
For the user name of the user account to be created, specify the name of an SLM service group administrator or service user.
Start JP1/Base as a user with Administrators permissions, and then select the JP1 user with the same name as for the user account created in step 1.
For the selected JP1 user, add the JP1 resource group that corresponds to the business group to be monitored.
- Note
The correspondence between JP1 resource group names and business groups is defined in the business group definition file that is created in 5.3.5 Defining business groups in Performance Management.
For the selected JP1 user, add the JP1_PFM_Operator permission.
The following table describes the types of SLM users, permissions to be granted to each user, and operations that can be performed on Performance Management:
