3.5.4 Acquiring IM management node related information
When you set up the Intelligent Integrated Management Base or when you change the structure of IM management nodes by adding a host or changing a resource group, you have to acquire IM management node related information by executing the jddcreatetree command or integrated operation viewer. For details about how to use integrated operation viewer, see 3.6.4 IM management node creation and execution function.
When an agent configuration of JP1/Base is used, only the local host and the hosts under it, which show up in the configuration definition information that is displayed by the jbsrt_get command, are acquired as IM management node related information, regardless of whether IM Configuration Management is enabled or disabled. For details about the jbsrt_get command, see the JP1/Base User's Guide. When a remote monitoring configuration is used, IM management node related information is acquired only when IM Configuration Management is enabled.
Note that, when a base manager is defined, the system hierarchy must be synchronized prior to acquiring IM management node related information.
When you perform an IM management node related information retrieval, IM management node-related files are created. For details about the IM management node-related files, see 3.5.3 IM management node-related files.
The following figure shows how to acquire IM management node related information.

System Configuration Information Collection
System Configuration Information Collection allows you to collect system configuration information managed by linked products by using adapter commands and plug-ins. For details about adapter commands and plug-ins, see Chapter 4. User-created Plug-ins in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

IM Management Node Link Generation
IM Management Node Link Generation allows you to generate links between configurations based on the collected system configuration information.

IM Management Node Tree Generation
Based on system configuration information as well as information provided in the system node definition file (imdd_systemnode.conf) and the category name definition file for IM management nodes (imdd_category_name.conf), IM Management Node Tree Generation generates tree information necessary to display IM management nodes as a sunburst chart or tree chart. For details about the system node definition file, see System node definition file (imdd_systemnode.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference. For details about the category name definition file for IM management nodes, see Category name definition file for IM management nodes (imdd_category_name.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
