1.2.2 Starting services on the monitoring console server

(1) Manually starting services on the monitoring console server

The following two methods can be used to start the PFM - Web Console services on the monitoring console server. Note that the instructions for starting services from the Control Panel apply only to Windows systems.

• Starting by using a command

• Starting from the Control Panel (Windows only)

(2) Enabling or disabling the automatic service start feature for the monitoring console server (Windows)

With the default installation settings, the PFM - Web Console services are set to start automatically when the system starts. For this reason, no operation is necessary after starting the system.

To disable and enable the automatic start feature:

1. Log on to the monitoring console server (the host that has PFM - Web Console installed).

2. Choose Services in Windows.

3. In the Services dialog box, select the PFM - Web Console service, and from the pulldown menu choose Properties.

4. In the Properties dialog box for the PFM - Web Console service, set Startup type.

   To cancel the automatic start, select Manual.

   To reset the automatic start, select Automatic.

5. Click the OK button.

   The Properties dialog box of the PFM - Web Console service is closed.

6. Choose the PFM - Web Service service, and from the pulldown menu choose Properties.

7. In the Properties dialog box for the PFM - Web Service, set Startup type.

   To cancel the automatic start, select Manual.

   To reset the automatic start, select Automatic.

8. Click the OK button.

   Important

   • Make sure that the startup types of the PFM - Web Console services and the PFM - Web Service services are the same.

   • Do not change the settings of the service account. Changing the settings might cause service operation errors.

(3) Enabling or disabling the automatic service start feature for the monitoring console server (UNIX)

With the default installation settings, services are not set to start automatically when the system starts.

To set start services to start automatically at system startup, store in the installation folder for PFM - Web Console the script file for starting services automatically (jpcw_start). To disable the automatic service start feature, delete the jpcw_start file.

Note:

At startup, Performance Management is subject to the LANG environment variable set in the environment where it operates. Use the following example as a reference for editing the script file for starting services automatically (jpcw_start) to set the LANG environment variable for Performance Management.

Example settings:

LANG=LANG-environment-variable-to-set^#

export LANG^#

nohup /opt/jp1pcwebcon/tools/jpcwstart

#: A line to be added to the script file.

For details on the LANG environment variable values you can use with Performance Management, see the chapters on installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide and the manuals for PFM - Agent or PFM - RM.

Important

• In the following environment you cannot configure the automatic service stop feature independently.

  - CentOS 7 or later

  - Linux 7 or later

  - Oracle Linux 7 or later

  - SUSE Linux 12 or later

  If you enable automatic service stop, you must also enable automatic service start. Similarly, you disable automatic service start, you must also disable automatic service stop.

• When the automatic service start and stop features are enabled in the following environment and the jpcwstart command is used to start services, the services will not stop automatically when the OS shuts down.

  - CentOS 7 or later

  - Linux 7 or later

  - Oracle Linux 7 or later

  - SUSE Linux 12 or later

  If you want the services to stop automatically, use the systemctl command to restart all Performance Management services. Alternatively, use the jpcwstop command to manually stop the services that were started by the jpcwstart command.

  The following example uses the systemctl command to restart the services:

  > systemctl stop jp1_webcon

  > systemctl start jp1_webcon

• In the following environment where only the automatic service start feature is enabled, shutting down the OS causes a message to be output to syslog. This message says that the PFM - Web Console services could not stop successfully. This message cannot be suppressed. If you enable the automatic service stop feature as well, this message is no longer output.

  - CentOS 7 or later

  - Linux 7 or later

  - Oracle Linux 7 or later

  - SUSE Linux 12 or later

To set automatic start of services:

1. Log on to the host where you want to start services automatically.

2. Execute the following command to move to the /opt/jp1pcwebcon directory:

   cd /opt/jp1pcwebcon

3. Set the script file for starting services automatically for PFM - Web Console.

   • Name of the .model file of the service automatic start script: jpcw_start.model

   • Name of the script file for starting services automatically: jpcw_start

   Copy the .model file of the service automatic start script as the script file for starting services automatically, and add execution permission. Execute the commands as follows:

   cp -p jpcw_start.model jpcw_start
   chmod 555 jpcw_start

To disable automatic start of services, perform the procedure below.

Important

Assume that automatic start has been enabled in your environment and that you disable automatic start and then want to go back to enabling it again. In this case, you have to carry out the automatic service start setup procedure.

1. Delete the jpcw_start file that was stored when the automatic service start feature was set.

2. If you have enabled automatic service stop, disable it (applicable to the following environment).

   Disable automatic service stop by following the procedure described in 1.3.2(3) Enabling or disabling the automatic service stop feature for the monitoring console server (UNIX).

   • CentOS 7 or later

   • Linux 7 or later

   • Oracle Linux 7 or later

   • SUSE Linux 12 or later
