Specifying the location of the OpenEdge Management Trend Database
OpenEdge Management allows you to store trend data, which is the monitoring information OpenEdge Management maintains, in either a local or remote OpenEdge Management Trend Database. These options appear in the Trend database location section, shown in Figure 6–3.

If you choose to send trend data to a local database (which is the default), you must specify the trend database location and the port used to connect to that database. If you choose to use a remote database, you must specify the host name and Web server port of the remote OpenEdge Management Web server. The trend database must be locally configured at the remote location. All values you enter for either option are validated.
If you are trending to a remote database and want to establish secure transmission of data, you can choose to use the HTTPS protocol. See Chapter 9, "Setting up Secure Communications for OpenEdge Management," for more information.
Note: The configuration option you select for this step must match the installation decisions you implemented during the OpenEdge Management installation process. For example, you can elect to store trend data in a remote OpenEdge Management Trend Database only if you installed OpenEdge Management on both the local machine and the remote machine. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Installing OpenEdge Management in Windows," or Chapter 4, "Installing OpenEdge Management on UNIX."
To specify the location of your OpenEdge Management Trend Database:
- Scroll to the OpenEdge Management Configuration page's Trend database location section, as shown in Figure 6–3.
- To store trend data locally, follow these steps:
- Select the Store trend data in a local OpenEdge Management database option.
If you enter a path location for the OpenEdge Management Trend Database that is different from the one you specified during installation, you must also copy the OpenEdge Management Trend Database from its previously installed location to its new location. You must use either the- Specify the Trend database location. You can either confirm the explicit path that matches the database location specified during the OpenEdge Management installation process, or you can provide a different path to the OpenEdge Management Trend Database.

command to preserve the schema integrity. For more information about either command, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration. The configuration name of the trending database is OpenEdge Management Trend Database. The name of the physical database must be fathom.- Enter the port number in the Trend database port field.
- To store trend data remotely, follow these steps:
- Select the Store trend data in a remote OpenEdge Management database option.
- Enter the host name of the machine in the Remote OpenEdge Management database hostname field. This is the host name where the remote database is installed. The name can be either a valid IP address or a name; it does not have to be fully qualified.
When you choose to store trend data on a remote OpenEdge Management database, the assumption is that you have already configured the OpenEdge Management Trend Database on the remote system. OpenEdge Management displays a warning message if it cannot verify that the remote database is properly configured.- Enter the HTTP port number in the Remote OpenEdge Management web server port field. This is the port number that the OpenEdge Management Web server uses to connect to the remote OpenEdge Management system.
