6.2.4 Registering and unregistering application elements

Agent cannot recognize user business processes running separately and other applications operating on a server. For this reason, this software supports a function that enables applications to be created manually. Application elements are elements displayed in the Correlation window.

You can manually create application elements and associate them with DBMS (Data Base), file system, and raw device, etc. You can also select several elements and register an application. Select the elements that you want to associate, and then select [Creation] - [Create application] from the pop-up menu. The following Creating Application dialog appears:

For Name of Application, specify an application name related to the selected element (required).

For Administrator information, specify a manager name for this application (optional). The specified manager name is reflected in property manager information about the element.

For Control URL, specify the URL for starting Management Software of this application or a command execution method (optional).

For Memo information, enter memo information (optional). The memo information entered here is reflected in element property memo information.

These settings (except Name of Application) can be changed with the change button which exists in the property of the application element.

You can delete a registered application. Select the application to have to be deleted, and then select [Delete] - [Delete application] on the pop-up menu.

You can also add a link between an application and an element. Dragging the element and dropping it on the application displays the dialog shown below. Selecting <OK> button in this dialog adds a link between the application and element.

Conversely, to delete the link between an application and an element, select the link, and then select [Delete] - [Related deletion with an application] from the pop-up menu. You can delete several links from the same application.

Note

If information about associated elements (e.g., DBMS (database) or file system) cannot be obtained when reread information is registered after application registration, the application icon is displayed in the warning color. Each element that uses old database information and cannot obtain the current information is displayed in gray.
In such cases, check for why the information could not be obtained (e.g., whether DBMS is operating normally and whether the file system configuration of the server node containing access paths and other configurations are correct). The elements of this status can be associated with the application.
If an element is unnecessary because of a change in operation or other reason, delete the link to it or the related application.
If an admin server name or an IP address is changed, application information is not inherited. In such cases, register the application element again.
