2.15.2 Defining the Collect Maintenance Information Tool

The process of each command provided by the Collect Maintenance Information tool is NOT canceled because those commands do not display nay message box and they do not display any inquiry during their processing.

If a problem has occurred, you can set certain commands of the Collect Maintenance Information tool by linking with the command generation function of Event Monitoring or Process Monitoring. Once set, the inspection data can be collected automatically during problem.

Examples

Set a command as an action in the function which automatically executes the action when an event (a message) has occurred. If you have set certain commands of the Collect Maintenance Information tool in this command, they are executed automatically when an event has occurred and you can collect the inspection data.
For the action definition details, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager User's Guide.
Using the Systemwalker's Process Monitoring function, you can set certain commands of the Collect Maintenance Information tool to execute during process error detection. Once set, the inspection data is collected immediately when a problem is detected.
1. Edit the process monitoring definition file (mppmon.ini) as follows.
  The Customize Notification command is executed during problem detection.
```
[Notification]
UserOriginal=ON
```
2. Edit the Customize Notification command ("mppmonsnd.bat" (Windows) or "mppmonsnd.sh" (UNIX)) of the Process Monitoring function as follows.
  Set the Collect Maintenance Information tool command (swcolinf).
  [Windows]
```
swcolinf [/i function-name] /o storage-directory [/c comment]
```
  [UNIX]
```
swcolinf [-i function-name] -o storage-directory [-c comment]
```
  For the swcolinf command details, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
For details including the process monitoring definition file and customize notification commands, see "2.15.1.3 Changing the Definition Information of Process Monitoring Function".

When you collect the maintenance information by executing the Collect Maintenance Information tool, you can control the generation of such information for each folder. Three generations of information collection is initially set. You can change the generation count by using its command as follows.

Definition procedure

Execute the command from the command line as follows.

The system administrator (the user belonging to the Administrators group or the superuser) must issue the commands.

[Windows]

Systemwalker Operation Manager installation directory \mpwalker.jm\mpcmtool\swcolinf\swcolinf.exe /w number-of-generations

[UNIX]

/opt/FJSVftlo/swcolinf/swcolinf -w number-of-generations

number-of-generations:: Specifies the number of generations of information to be controlled, using an integer of 1 to 10.

If you do not control the generation of information, set it to 1.

For more information on how to use the command, refer to the Systemwalker Operation Manager Reference Guide.
