5.4.2 Specifying settings for saving Performance Management's performance data from SLM (working with Performance Management)
When PFM - Web Console is started from SLM and you use it to monitor the performance data collected by Performance Management, if the performance data is not stored in Performance Management's Store database, detailed performance data cannot be checked.
You can use PFM - Web Console or SLM - Manager's system definition file to specify the settings needed to store performance data in the Store database.
This subsection explains the procedure for editing SLM - Manager's system definition file and storing performance data in the Store database.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Before you start
Verify that setup of SLM - Manager has been completed. For details about the setup method, see 5.1.6 Setting up SLM - Manager.
Verify that SLM - Manager has terminated. For details about the termination method, see 2.1.4 Terminating SLM - Manager.
(2) Procedure
To specify the settings for saving Performance Management's performance data from SLM:
In SLM - Manager's system definition file (jp1itslm.properties), set the pfmLoggingData property to true.
Edit SLM - Manager's system definition file. The system definition file is stored at the following location:
SLM-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\jp1itslm.properties
The settings for storing performance data in Performance Management's Store database have now been specified.
(3) Supplementary information
The following table shows the relationship between settings in SLM and Performance Management and how performance data is stored.

#: The setting specified in PFM - Web Console is applied to each monitoring agent of Performance Management.
