Setting the PS_SchedMonitor Deployment Configuration Parameters

Use the Deployment Configuration agent properties to discover PeopleSoft Tuxedo configuration files for all domains and search for all Process Scheduler server domains in the path looking for the psprcs.cfg file.
 
* 
NOTE: The PS_SchedServer agent supports PeopleTools 8.4x and above.
See Deployment Scenario Procedures for AppMonitor and SchedMonitor deployment scenarios.
The Deployment Configuration properties must be set in a specific manner before the PS_SchedMonitor Agent can detect the PeopleSoft Scheduler server domains.
To set the deployment configuration properties:
1
Go to the Deployment Configuration set of properties.
2
Choose the list from the PS_Scheduler Agents to Deploy list that you want to update.
3
Click Edit.
A secondary property list appears.
 
* 
NOTE: The default PS_Scheduler Agent to Deploy List name must be changed using the naming convention <AgentName><HostName>. The PS_Scheduler Agent to Deploy List name must be unique to the monitored host in order for the PS_SchedMonitor to discover and populate the Scheduler Domain List.
For Example: the default name is DeploymentConfig. Create a new list with the name PS_SchedMonitor_Scheduler_houqau29, where:
- PS_SchedMonitor_Scheduler is the deployed Agent Name.
- houqau29 is the HostName.
This information is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears on the Foglight Console where the PS_SchedMonitor Agent is deployed.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the DeploymentConfig List name does not follow the above naming convention the following error occurs:
PS_AMON_301 the Domains List Name that is being used is invalid. Edit your ASPs and create a new list name following naming conventions.
The PS_SchedMonitor Agent will continue to run but will not discover Domains under the specified PeopleSoft home directory. 
4
Add an entry to the list by clicking Add Row.
Fill in the dialog box fields.
5
Click Save Changes.
6
Click the PS_Scheduler Agents to Deploy parameter Edit button to edit the newly defined Domain List.
7
Enter the PS_SchedMonitor_Scheduler deployment list name in the PS_SchedMonitor Agents to deploy list box.
8
Double-click on a Scheduler domain to monitor. The edit dialog box appears.
9
Click the Include - True option to enable monitoring of the selected domain.
A PS_Scheduler Agent is deployed to monitor the selected Scheduler domain.
 
* 
NOTE: The PS_Scheduler agent properties are automatically configured from the PS_SchedMonitor agent discover process using the Domain Name, Agent Name, and Domain Path information.
10
Click the Domain edit Save button to save the entry and close the Domain edit dialog box.
11
Close the Domains list dialog box.
12
Click Save.
The PS_SchedMonitor attempts to run on the Foglight Console. If successful, the agent status is listed as running.
13
Choose the list from the PS_SchedServer Agents to Deploy list that you want to update.
 
* 
NOTE: PS_SchedServer Agents can only support PeopleTools version 8.43 and above which utilizes Tuxedo process as part of the supporting process.

Click Edit.
A secondary property list appears.
15
Add an entry to the list by clicking Add Row.
Fill in the dialog box fields.
 
* 
NOTE: The default PS_SchedServer Agents to Deploy List name must be changed using the naming convention <AgentName><HostName>. The Domains List name must be unique to the monitored host in order for the PS_SchedMonitor to discover and populate the Domain List.
For example, the default name is SchedSrvDeploymentConfig.
Create a new list with following name PS_SchedMonitor_SchedSRV_houqau29, where:
- PS_SchedMonitor_SchedSRV is the deployed Agent Name.
- houqau29 is the HostName.
This information is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears on the Foglight Console where the PS_SchedMonitor Agent is deployed.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If the SchedSrvDeploymentConfig list name does not follow the above naming convention the following error occurs:
PS_AMON_301 the Domains List Name that is being used is invalid. Edit your ASPs and create a new list name following naming conventions. The PS_SchedMonitor Agent will continue to run but will not discover Domains under the specified PeopleSoft home directory.

PS_SchedServer Agent

The PS_SchedServer Agent monitors PeopleSoft Scheduler server domain activity and throughput along with resource utilization data to determine your optimal Scheduler server domain configuration. The number of Scheduler servers you install depends on the number of batch jobs and type of activity you have. Knowing resource utilization behavior for a PeopleSoft Scheduler server domain is critical for successful performance.

PS_SchedServer Agent Properties

When an agent connects to the Foglight Management Server, it is provided with sets of properties that it uses to configure its correct running state.
Each agent is provided with a combination of two types of properties: agent properties and shareable properties.
Default versions of these properties are installed with the Foglight for PeopleSoft. However, you can edit the default shareable and agent properties, configure agent properties that apply only to a specific agent instance, and create edited clones of shareable properties that are used by a subset of the agents of a certain type.
For more information about working with agent properties, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.
The PS_SchedServer Agent is shipped with default properties that can be modified to suit your system requirements.
To modify agent properties:
1
Ensure that the navigation panel on the left is open.
To open the navigation panel, click the right-facing arrow on the left .
2
Open the dashboard that lets you navigate to the agent properties by completing one of the following steps:
•
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Administration > Agents > Agent Properties.
In the Agent Properties dashboard, in the Namespace > Type pane, select Legacy > PS_SchedServer.
or
•
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
In the Agent Status dashboard, select the instance of the PS_SchedServer Agent whose properties you want to modify and click Edit Properties.
A list of agent properties appears in the PS_SchedServer pane.
The position of the Properties pane depends on the dashboard you used to access agent properties. If you used the Agent Properties dashboard, the Properties pane appears to the right of the Namespace > Type pane in the display area. If you used the Agent Status dashboard, the Properties pane appears across the display area.

Setting the PS_SchedServer Connection Details

The PS_SchedServer Agent must be configured with the Connection Details and domains information before the agent can start.
The Connection Details agent properties allow you to specify the environment variable to which the agent should connect and discover PeopleSoft domain information. The connection information consists of a PeopleSoft Domain Config File, PeopleSoft Home Directory, and Tuxedo Home Directory (TUXDIR).
The PS_SchedServer Agent uses the Connection Details agent properties to discover the PeopleSoft Tuxedo configuration files for all domains and searches for all application server domains in the path looking for the psappsrv.cfg file. The Domain List is populated with all discovered domains.
To set the connection details:
1
Go to the Connection Details set of properties.
2
Enter the path to the PeopleSoft application domain configuration file in the PeopleSoft Domain Config File box.
3
Enter the PeopleSoft Home path for the PeopleSoft environment in the PeopleSoft Home Directory box.
4
Enter the Tuxedo path where the PeopleSoft environment executes the BBL process in the Tuxedo Home Directory (TUXDIR) box.
5
Click Save.
Once the PeopleSoft Connection Details agent properties are properly configured, the Foglight server gathers data from the PeopleSoft agent.
6
Go to the Setting the PS_SchedServer Data Management Properties section.
