4.1 Setting up the Operations-Manager Console

To use the Operations-Manager function, you must run the program at both the managing host and the managed hosts. Note that only an administrator can start the Operations-Manager Console.

• Managing host: Start the Operations-Manager Console.

  Start the Operations-Manager Console at the managing host. It enables you to view transmission logs of the remote and local JP1/FTP servers and to register, update, and view definition information items.

  How to start the Operations-Manager Console

  From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs, JP1_File Transmission Server_FTP, and then Manager Console.

  Figure 4‒1: Operations-Manager Console window

  1. Choosing Host List from the Edit menu: See 4.1.1 Adding managed hosts.

  2. Choosing Display Log Count from the View menu:

     Set the number of logs to be displayed in the Log Information window. When the Display Log Count dialog box appears, specify the number of logs that you wish to display, in the range from 1 to 10,000.

  3. Tree window:

     This window displays a list of the managed hosts and corresponding information. The view switch tabs enable you to switch between displaying by hosts and displaying by functions.

     If there are too many managed hosts to fit in the tree window, information about four hosts before and after the selected host is displayed.

  4. List window:

     This window provides a listing of the information selected in the tree window. You can use the view switch tabs to change the display for each function.

  5. Details window:

     This window displays details of the information selected in the list window. Note that nothing is displayed for the Environment Definition utility.

• Managed host: Start the Operations-Manager Agent.

  Start the Operations-Manager Agent on each host where the Operations-Manager Agent is to be run.

  How to start the Operations-Manager Agent

  To start a manager agent that is to be managed by the Operations-Manager Console, start the JP1/File Transmission Server/FTP Agent service. For details about how to start the service, see 2.3 Starting and stopping services.

Notes

• If you use the Operations-Manager function, you can use only alphabetic characters, numbers, and hyphens for the host name.

• The Operations-Manager functions are supported even if the JP1/FTP versions for the Operations-Manager Console and the Operations-Manager Agent are different.

• In an environment in which IP address translation is performed between Operation-Manager Console and Operation-Manager Agent, the Operations-Manager function cannot be used.

• IPv6 cannot be used for connections between Operations-Manager Console and Operations-Manager Agent.

• You cannot use the Operations-Manager function to establish a connection between an environment using version 10-00 or earlier and a pre-10-00 version environment if the environments have different language settings (for example, a Japanese language environment and an English language environment).

• On the side of Operations-Manager Agent, the IP address of the physical host (the host returned by the hostname command) must be an IP address to which Operations-Manager Console can connect. In an environment where there are multiple IP addresses on the side of Operations-Manager Agent, the intended IP address might not be used. In such cases, by registering following definition information in advance (as described below), you can specify the IP address you want to use. The registered information will be applied to the JP1/File Transmission Server/FTP Agent service that starts after the settings are configured.

  1. Create a definition file with the following path name:

  JP1/FTP-installation-directory\manager\agent\jvmoptions.txt

  2. Specify the following information:

  -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=IP-address-on-the-side-of-JP1/File-Transmission-Server/FTP-Agent
