Specifying the PPMI URL and PPMI User ID

PSPPMSRV processes must register with the PPMI servlet using the PPMI URL.

The PSPPMSRV processes use the PPMI URL that is stored in the monitoring system's database to locate the PPMI servlet for registration.

The PSPPMSRV servers periodically read the PPMI value to determine the PPMI URL. When it is set to NONE, the monitoring system is disabled, which means that the PSPPMSRVs do not insert performance data into the monitoring database.

The PPMI user ID is required to authenticate the PSPPMSRV so that it can subscribe to performance data.

To specify the PPMI URL and PPMI user ID:

1. Make sure that you have created a PPMI user ID with the appropriate permissions (as described in the previous section).

2. Select PeopleTools, and then Performance Monitor, and then Administration, and then Global Monitoring Admin.

3. On the Global Administration page, enter the appropriate value in the PPMI URL edit box.

   The format is: http://host[:port]/ppmi/[site]/

   For example: http://server1.example.com/ppmi/ps/.

   Where ps is the name of the PeopleSoft site.

4. Specify the PPMI user ID and password.

5. Click Save.

6. Click Ping Test to ensure that the URL that you entered is valid and the URL is available.

If the PPM URLs are set to LOCAL and you want to change them to the appropriate value in the form of a fully qualified HTTP URL, then, after entering the value, you must restart all agents and the PSPPMSRV process.
