This chapter describes the records for PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications in alphabetical order. Each record explanation contains the following subsections:
- Organization of this page
Function
Provides an overview of the performance data that is stored in the record and includes important information to be noted.
Default and changeable values
Consists of a table of the default values for the performance data under the collection conditions that are defined for the record, and indicates whether the values can be changed by the user. The table below lists and describes the items that are presented in Default and changeable values. For details about each item described in this table, see the chapter that describes management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
|
Item |
Description |
Changeable |
|---|---|---|
|
Collection Interval |
Performance data collection interval (in seconds) |
Y: Changeable N: Not changeable |
|
Collection Offset#1 |
Offset value for starting performance data collection (in seconds). For details about the offset value, see the chapter that describes management of operation monitoring data in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide. For details about the start time for performance data collection, see the chapter that describes the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide. |

|
Log |
Whether collected performance data is stored in the Store database: Yes: Store (however, if Collection Interval=0 is set, collected performance data is not stored). No: Do not store. |
|

LOGIF |
Conditions for storing collected performance data in the Store database |
|
|
Over 10 Sec Collection Time#2 |
Whether the system configuration might require 10 sec or more to collect records. Yes: Might require 10 sec or more. No: Requires less than 10 sec. |
|
|
Realtime Report Data Collection Mode#2 |
Specifies the real-time report display mode: Reschedule: Reschedule mode Temporary Log: Temporary log mode Specify the temporary log mode (Temporary Log) for records for which Yes is set for Over 10 Sec Collection Time. |
- #1
-
The value range is 0-32,767 seconds (within the value range specified for Collection Interval). This is used to distribute the collection processing workload, because data collection is concentrated when multiple data items are collected. The data collection time that is recorded is the same as for the Collection Interval regardless of the value of Collection Offset.
If you change the value of Collection Offset, you should take into account the collection processing workload.
- #2
-
Displayed for the history collection priority function.
ODBC key fields
Shows the primary keys that are required in order to use the record data stored in the Store database with PFM - Manager or PFM - Base. Some ODBC key fields are common to all records, and some are specific to each record. This section presents the ODBC key fields that are specific to each record. Only the multi-instance records have specific ODBC key fields.
For details about the ODBC key fields common to all records, see List of ODBC key fields. For details about how to use the ODBC key fields, see the chapter that describes linkage to an ODBC-compatible application program in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
Lifetime
Indicates the period during which consistency is guaranteed for the performance data that is collected in the record. For details about the lifetime, see the chapter that describes the functions of Performance Management in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
Record size
Indicates the amount of performance data that can be collected and stored in each record at one time.
Fields
Provides a table that describes the fields of each record. The table contains the following items:
-
