Installing OpenEdge Management for the first time
There are several factors to consider before you install OpenEdge Management for the first time. For example, you should analyze what you need to monitor before you begin the installation. You also need to decide where to install OpenEdge Management components.
To prepare to install OpenEdge Management:
The resources can include local network-based services and the following local and remote resources: database, CPU, memory, file system, disk, AppServer™, NameServer, and WebSpeedŽ Transaction server.- Determine the names and locations of the resources you need to monitor.
The OpenEdge Management Trend Database stores the monitoring information that OpenEdge Management collects. During configuration, you can choose whether to save monitoring information locally, remotely, or not at all. Before installation, you should decide if you want to save this data and where you want to save it. OpenEdge Management automatically creates the OpenEdge Management Trend Database if you have an OpenEdgeŽ Enterprise RDBMS, an OpenEdgeŽ Workgroup RDBMS, or an OpenEdgeŽ Personal database installed on the same machine where you are installing OpenEdge Management. If you decide to save monitoring information remotely, the remote machine must have both a database (Enterprise, Workgroup, or Personal) and OpenEdge Management installed. In other words, you cannot just copy a trending database to a remote machine. The local instance of OpenEdge Management needs to communicate with a remote instance of OpenEdge Management to use the remote trending database.- Determine whether to save monitoring information to the OpenEdge Management Trend Database and, if saving the monitoring information, where to locate the database.
The more resources you monitor, the more system resources OpenEdge Management uses. If you plan to monitor a large number of database servers and network services in your configuration, you might want to consider configuring additional OpenEdge Management instances, both locally and remotely. See the "CPU and memory requirements" section for more information.- Determine how monitoring might affect system performance.
Based on the decisions you made in Steps 1 through 4, you can install OpenEdge Management locally on the machine with the monitored resources or on a separate or standalone machine. See the "Product support" section for more information.- Determine where to install OpenEdge Management.
