Event Meaning
The UBA application connects to the
database.
This event causes a message similar to the
following example to display: DB_CONNECT
Connecting to <sid> as <user> If you see
this database connection message without
prior errors, the UBA application passed the
syntax check.
7. Run the bulk inventory profile. The UBA application handles the inventory and
metrics according to the instructions provided in the technology pack design
file or files. The UBA application inserts the created elements, subelements, and
metrics into the database. However, the UBA application does not handle the
grouping of these elements and subelements. To handle the grouping of the
elements and subelements that were inserted into the database, UBA
technology packs supply a bulk inventory profile. This bulk inventory profile is
automatically created when the pack is installed. Bulk inventory profiles use
the following name syntax: bulk_N where:
Syntax item Meaning
bulk_ Identifies as a bulk inventory profile for a
UBA technology pack.
N Specifies the collector number (for example,
100) that the user specified when you
configure this UBA Bulk Collector.
You must use the Inventory Tool to run a bulk inventory profile. To run the
bulk inventory profiles for this technology pack, perform the following steps:
a. In the command window where you loaded the DataMart environment,
change your working directory to $PVMHOME/bin (/opt/datamart/bin,by
default) on the DataMart server.
b. Start the DataMart GUI:
$ pvm
c. Click Inventory Tool in the Resource tab. The Inventory Tool window
appears. This window displays a list of the existing inventory profiles on
the Configuration tab. The names of the inventory profiles to run are
bulk_N1 and bulk_N2, where N1 and N2 are the collector numbers that are
configured for this pack.
d. On the Configuration tab, click the bulk inventory profiles for this
technology pack and then select Run Profile from the Action menu. The
Live Information tab displays messages about the status of the profiles. For
more information about running an inventory profile, see Configuring and
Operating DataMart.
e. Every time the UBA technology pack design file creates new elements,
subelements, and metrics, you must perform the previous steps to group
the elements and subelements. One way to accomplish this task regularly is
to create a cron entry that uses the inventory command. The following
example shows the cron entries that periodically perform the grouping
operation for the bulk inventory profiles that are called bulk_100 and
bulk_101:
0****./opt/datamart/dataMart.env && inventory -name bulk_100
-action pregrouping -reload -noX
0****./opt/datamart/dataMart.env && inventory -name bulk_100
-action grouping -reload -noX
