2.7.3 Using business groups defined in JP1/IM
You can use business groups defined in JP1/IM by exporting business group definition information from JP1/IM, and then validating and importing the information in Performance Management. You also need to add the JP1 permission levels that allow JP1 users to use Performance Management.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Exporting business group definition information from JP1/IM
Use the jcfexport command to export the business group information defined in JP1/IM. For details, see the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
(2) Checking the business group definition information
Check the validity of the business group definition information you exported. You can use the jpcconf bgdef check command to validate business group definition information exported from JP1/IM.
-
Log on to the host where PFM - Manager is installed.
-
Execute the jpcconf bgdef check command.
In this example, we check the validity of the business group definition information exported to the /tmp/imbg01 directory.
Execute the command as follows:
jpcconf bgdef check -im /tmp/imbg01
If any errors are found in the business group definition information, the system generates an error message for the first error it finds, indicating the detail of the error and the line number in the file. Fix any errors in the JP1/IM business group settings by referring to the message contents.
For details on the jpcconf bgdef check command, see the chapter on commands in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
(3) Importing business group definition information
Import the business group information you exported from JP1/IM into Performance Management. In this example, we import the business group definition information exported to the /tmp/imbg01 directory.
- Important
-
When you execute the jpcconf bgdef import -im command in the procedure below, all business group information defined in Performance Management is deleted. This means that after the import process, only the business groups exported from JP1/IM and then imported to Performance Management can be used.
-
Log on to the host where PFM - Manager is installed.
-
Make sure that the PFM - Manager services are running.
Use the jpctool service list command to find out whether the PFM - Manager services are running. If the services are not running, start the services now.
-
Execute the jpcconf bgdef import command.
Execute the command as follows:
jpcconf bgdef import -im /tmp/imbg01
If PFM - Manager is running on a logical host, execute the command with the logical host name specified in the -lhost option.
For details on the jpcconf bgdef import command, see the chapter on commands in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
(4) Setting operating permissions for JP1 users
In JP1/IM, business groups are associated with a JP1 resource group, and you need to add the JP1 permission level JP1_PFM_Operator to the JP1 resource group associated with the business group. This permission allows JP1 users to operate Performance Management.
For details on how to assign operating permissions to JP1 users, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.
