6.1 Linking with Symfoware Server

Before creating and applying a collection policy (refer to Chapter 13, "Creating and Applying Collection Policies"), the following preparations and verifications are required on the Symfoware side.

1. The commands used to display performance (rdbsar, rdbspcinf and rdbinf) must be able to be used (i.e., the RDB system must be operating).

Refer to the Symfoware Server RDB Administrator's Guide for details.

If the RDB system configuration of Symfoware Server is changed after a collection policy has been created and applied (refer to Chapter 13, "Creating and Applying Collection Policies"), create and apply the collection policy again to ensure that collection matches the system configuration of Symfoware Server.

Note that after the collection policy has been created and applied again, it must be updated in the Console window. Collect the configuration information using the Agent Settings window with reference to Section 9.2.3.1.2, "Agents".

If a collection policy is created while there is no default RDB system on the Symfoware Server, an error message (such as qdg13315u) may be output.

These error messages are output to confirm the configuration of the RDB system. There is no problem so long as the collection policy creation command has terminated normally.
