Configuring Resource Management

How to:

Reference:

At run time, Resource Management collects usage monitoring data in a log file. At predetermined times, such as during server startup or a user request, the log data collected is archived to a permanent repository. Before collecting the data, Resource Management must be configured.

To configure Resource Management, after the server is installed, you must:

  1. Consider security authorization for RM files and libraries.

    There are two levels of security to consider:

  2. Enable Resource Management from the Web Console.
  3. Type your license key and select a repository type. Resource Management can be configured to create Usage Monitoring tables in a FOCUS repository or in a relational repository. The repository holds data on resource usage.
  4. Configure the repository.

Procedure: How to Configure Resource Management Using a FOCUS or Relational Repository

To enable Resource Management, you must have a valid license key. After typing the key, you can specify the type of repository to be used for Usage Monitoring. The Usage Monitoring tables are then created. This procedure shows how to create Usage Monitoring tables in a FOCUS or relational repository using a license code for both Resource Analyzer and Resource Governor.

Before performing the following steps, make sure the server is running.

  1. On a Windows system, from the Programs Menu, select iWay Software (or Information Builders, if you have a WebFOCUS server installation), then the server type, and click Web Console.

    If you are using an operating system other than Windows, enter

    http://ipaddress:port

    where:

    ipaddress

    Identifies the server where Resource Analyzer or Resource Governor is to be configured.

    port

    Is the port number for that server.

    Note: On the Program Menu under iWay Software, the server types can include iWay Full Function Server, or iWay DataMigrator Server. On the Program Menu under Information Builders, the server type can include a WebFOCUS Server. Resource Analyzer can be configured on any of these servers.

    The Web Console opens, as shown in the following image.

  2. Click the Resource Management link on the toolbar.

    The Resource Management page opens, as shown in the following image.

  3. Right-click Configure Resource Management in the navigation pane and select Configure.
  4. Type the license key from the packing slip. There are different keys, one for Resource Analyzer, one for Resource Governor, and one if both products are licensed.
  5. Click Continue.

    The Resource Management Configuration pane opens.

    For a FOCUS Repository:

    1. Select FOCUS from the Repository drop-down menu.
    2. Type a Server Name. This field defaults to the host server name and the port number being used by the server. It is recommended that this value is not changed.
    3. Click Configure.

    For a Relational Repository:

    1. Select Relational from the Repository drop-down menu.
    2. Type a Server Name. This field defaults to the host server name and the port number being used by the server. It is recommended that this value is not changed.
    3. Select a Data Adapter and the appropriate connection name from the drop-down menu.

      Note: If no certified Resource Management adapter has been configured, the only option in the drop-down menu will be FOCUS.

      The current list of certified relational engines is:

      • DB2
      • Oracle
      • Informix
      • Sybase
      • Teradata
      • Ingres
      • MS SQL Server
      • RDB
      • MySQL
      • PostgreSQL
    4. Set Create Repository to Yes, unless the repository has already been created using the native Data Definition Language (DDL) of the Data Adapter or you are configuring a many-to-one environment.

      For more information, see Using DDL Statements to Create the Internal Tables. For more information on many-to-one, see Configuring Many-to-One Monitoring.

    5. Provide an Owner/Schema. By default, the tables are created for the specified owner/schema in the default database, and the owner/schema must be authorized to create tables in the database.
    6. For servers running on z/OS, HFS, or PDS deployment where DB2 has been selected as the data adapter, provide a DB2 DBSPACE.
    7. Click Configure.

    The Resource Management: Resource Analyzer/Governor page opens, and the navigation pane on the left appears, as shown in the following image.
