Installing or Updating Performance Collection Software
Starting with MPE/iX release B.40.00 (4.0) and MPE V release G.23.00
(23), the Performance Collection Software is installed as part of the
normal operating system update process.
Installation Instructions for first time installations
1. Consider Security and Accounting requirements.
Performance Collection Software program files are installed in the
SCOPE.SYS group. This group requires a minimum capability set of
"CAP=IA,BA,PH,DS,MR,PM". Access to the SCOPE.SYS group will
normally allow any user to execute programs, but only users logged
on to the group (or users with SM capability) will have any other
access to its files.
The SCOPE.SYS user will be created with normal user capabilities
and the SCOPE.SYS group as the home group.
Since the SCOPE.SYS group requires PM capability, and since system
passwords may be added to job streams in this group, you should
add unique passwords to the SCOPE.SYS group and SCOPE.SYS user.
For example:
:ALTGROUP SCOPE;PASS=grppass
:ALTUSER SCOPE;PASS=userpass
2. Add your system identifier to the PARM file.
The system identifier is used to identify log files created on
this system. The first ten characters of this identifier are used
as a title by the HP LaserRX/MPE Analysis software. You should
edit the file PARM.SCOPE.SYS to include a unique system identifier
for each of your systems.
A system identification record may occur anywhere in the file but
there should be only one such record. Any standard text editor
may be used to edit the PARM file as long as the final result is a
standard ASCII file with records less than or equal to 100
characters wide.
Example:
:EDITOR
TEXT PARM.SCOPE.SYS
ADD .1
ID=HARVEY
//
KEEP PARM.SCOPE.SYS,unn
You may check the validity of the PARM file if desired:
:RUN UTILITY.SCOPE.SYS
PARMFILE PARM.SCOPE.SYS
(any errors and the parm file contents will be listed)
EXIT
3. Add any required passwords to the SCOPEJOB.SCOPE.SYS job stream
file. It should log on as MANAGER.SYS,SCOPE or any other user
which has SM capability. The performance log files will be
created in the logon group for this job.
4. Start the data collection.
:STREAM SCOPEJOB.SCOPE.SYS
5. Arrange to have the data collection started each time the system
is rebooted. The easiest way to do this is to add the following
line to the SYSSTART.PUB.SYS file.
:STREAM SCOPEJOB.SCOPE.SYS
Update Instructions
These instructions are for installations where previous versions of the
Performance Collection Software or HP LaserRX/MPE host software were
installed.
* If the previous release was B.00.00 or later then no further
action is required in order to complete the update process.
* If the previous release was A.00.00 - A.99.99 then your existing
log files must be converted to the "B" release format before they
can be used. At a minimum you must convert the raw log files
before you start the data collection. Extracted files may be
converted any time before they are used.
Steps for updating from the "A" to the "B" release software:
1. Store all raw and extracted log files to tape.
:STORE @.SCOPE.SYS;*T
2. Run the UTILITY program to convert the raw log files.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,SCOPE
:RUN UTILITY.SCOPE.SYS
CONVERT LOGGLOB
EXIT
3. You may convert any extracted log files at this time or wait until
later if desired. To convert extracted log files, run the UTILITY
program and execute the CONVERT command for each one. For
example:
:RUN UTILITY.SCOPE.SYS
CONVERT file1
CONVERT file2
4. Examine the SCOPEJOB.SCOPE.SYS job stream and insure it has a
CONTINUE command prior to running the SCOPE or SCOPEXL program.
This insures the rest of the job stream will be processed even if
the collection software terminates abnormally.
For MPE/iX systems:
:
!CONTINUE
!RUN SCOPEXL.SCOPE.SYS
:
For MPE V systems:
:
!CONTINUE
!RUN SCOPE.SCOPE.SYS
:
5. Restart the performance collection software.
:STREAM SCOPEJOB.SCOPE.SYS
