JP1 Version 12 JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide


13.7.3 JP1/IM - Manager system environment

You can change the JP1/IM - Manager system environment via the GUI or by using a profile (system profile). The changes are managed by JP1/IM - Manager on the manager.

The following describes settings related to the JP1/IM - Manager system environment that can be changed by the user. Consider changing the settings as required.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Considerations for the JP1/IM - Manager system environment

Consider the event buffer and permission for connection from the jcochstat command.

(a) Event buffer

The event buffer is an area of memory used by JP1/IM - Manager (Central Console) to store JP1 events extracted from the event service of JP1/Base.

Set the maximum number of events that can be extracted from the event service and buffered on the manager. You can set the number in the range from 10 to 2,000 (events).

If the event buffer size is too small, some JP1 events might be missing from the Monitor Events page and Severe Events page of the Event Console window.

On the other hand, if the event buffer size is too large, the Event Console window might take a long time to display when you start JP1/IM - View.

When setting the event buffer size, estimate the memory requirements of the Central Console and make sure that sufficient resources are available on the machine. For the equations you can use to estimate memory requirements, see the JP1/IM - Manager Release Notes.

(b) Connection permission from the jcochstat command

Using the jcochstat command, you can change the response status of JP1 events in the event database or integrated monitoring database. This allows you to change the response status of JP1 events from other applications, but it might impair JP1/IM operation management.

For this reason, you can set JP1/IM - Manager to prohibit response status changes by the jcochstat command to the event database or integrated monitoring database on the manager. We recommend that you prohibit changes by the jcochstat command if there is no need for other applications to change the response status of JP1 events.

(c) Setting the range of events to be collected at login

When you log in to JP1/IM - Manager, the events ranging from the event that occurred at a specified point of time to the most recent event are collected from the integrated monitoring database. You can specify whether to set the range the events to be collected at login separately on the Monitor Events and Severe Events pages. On the Severe Events page, you can also specify exclusion of processed severe events in the event collection from the integrated monitoring database.

About customizing the JP1/IM - Manager system environment:
  • Customizing the JP1/IM - Manager system environment via the GUI (recommended procedure)

    See 3.11 System Environment Settings window in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager GUI Reference.

  • Customizing the JP1/IM - Manager system environment in a definition file

    In normal circumstances, customize the settings in the System Environment Settings window rather than in a definition file.

    See System profile (.system) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

(2) Notes

If the system profile contains any errors, such as an attribute value that is out of range, JP1/IM - Manager might not work properly.
