9.3 Backing up and restoring operation monitoring data
To back up the operation monitoring data, you can use the jpctool db backup command. You must execute the jpctool db backup command on a host where PFM - Manager is installed. You can also execute the command on a host where PFM - Agent or PFM - RM is installed, specifying the -alone or -direct option.
When using Store 2.0, you can perform a partial backup by specifying the -partial option.
To restore the operation monitoring data, use the jpctool db restore command. You must execute the jpctool db restore command on the PFM - Manager, PFM - Agent, or PFM - RM host where the database to be restored is backed up.
However, to execute the jpctool db backup and jpctool db restore commands, the following user permissions are required:
-
In Windows: user with Administrator permissions or Backup Operator permissions
-
In UNIX: root user permissions
Next are a couple cautionary notes on backing up and restoring the operation monitoring data:
- Notes:
-
-
If the data model version of the Store database that is backed up using the jpctool db backup command differs from the version of the Store database to be restored, the Store database cannot be restored.
-
If a service key of the data to be restored differs from that of the data that is backed up using the jpctool db backup command, the Store database cannot be restored.
-
The backup data for the Store database uses the character set of the host where the Store database is running. When you restore a Store database, make sure that the host to which you are restoring the data uses the same character set. If the character sets differ, double-byte characters and single-byte Katakana characters will not be set correctly, preventing the information in reports and event histories from displaying correctly.
