You manage business
measures models through
the WebSphere® Business Monitor administrative
console. Managing
includes importing a business measures model into WebSphere Business Monitor and unloading all the versions
of a previously imported business measures model.
You can perform the following actions on a business measures model through
the WebSphere Business Monitor administrative
console:
- Import a business measures model:
You can import a business measures model that
has been exported by the Business Measures editor to
the Repository database and the model execution engine. Before you can import
a business measures model file, you must prepare
the databases to receive the imported model data by creating the required
database tables. This is done by running the Data Definition Language (DDL)
script files that have been generated by the Schema Generator in the WebSphere Business Monitor administrative console.
The
imported business measures model file can
be either for a new business measures model or
for a new version of an existing business measures model.
Refer to the Usage Scenarios of the WebSphere Business Monitor for
details about the steps you must follow before you can import a business measures model.
Important: In order to import
business
measures models successfully
to
WebSphere Business Monitor that has been installed
in a secured
WebSphere Application
Server environment
with enabled global security feature, you have to add the following properties
with their values to the file
soap.client.props in the location
<WAS_Home_Dir>\profiles\<Server_Name>\properties\ directory
using any text editor:
- com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled=true
- com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=<UserName> (Where <UserName> is the user
name of an authorized user that has access on the WebSphere Application
Server in
security mode).
- com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=<Password> (Where <Password> is the password
of the authorized user).
For more details about this feature, you can refer to the section named
Configuring
security with scripting in the
WebSphere Application
Server documentation.
- Unload a business measures model:
You can unload a previously imported business measures model.
The unload action will remove all versions of this model.
The unloaded
model information is deleted from both the model execution engine and the
Repository database. You
can select to delete the model information from only the execution engine
and keep the model data in the Repository database for dashboard reporting.
Important: You must restart the WebSphere Application
Server after
importing a new version of an existing business measures model,
or after unloading a specific model that will be imported again.
Important: On the AIX® platform, the import of the business measures model could
fail if CPU Guard is enabled. Depending on your system, you may want to disable
CPU Guard before importing a business measures model.
