Monitor model version properties

Use this page to view the general properties for a specific version of a monitor model. These values are applicable only for the selected version of the monitor model.

To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Monitor Models > model_version.

General properties

Use these properties to configure a specific version of a monitor model.

Model

Displays the selected monitor model ID.

Version

Displays the specific version of the selected monitor model.

Application

Displays the application associated with the selected model version.

CEI distribution mode

Displays the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) distribution mode for this model version.

The CEI distribution mode is a combination of the state of the monitor model and the transport type.
  • The possible states of a monitor model are:
    • Active
    • Active (no new MC instances)
    • Inactive (event queue recoverable)
    • Inactive
  • The transport types are:
    • Queue-based event delivery. This method uses Java Messaging Service (JMS) to deliver events from CEI to the monitor model.
    • Table-based event delivery (formerly known as queue bypass). This method uses a database table to deliver events from CEI to the monitor model. With table-based event delivery, the work can be distributed among multiple cluster members. For most environments, this method improves performance and simplifies the system configuration.
    Note: The Inactive distribution mode is the same for both transport types.

If the distribution mode is in transition, this field displays both the initial and target modes.

Active MC instances

Displays the number of active monitoring context instances currently being processed by this version of the monitor model. If you have deployed a new version of a monitor model, when this number reaches zero for the older version of the model, you can undeploy the older version without any associated data loss.

Deployment

Displays the version configuration steps and their status. A check mark indicates that the step has been completed. An X indicates that an error has occurred. To complete a step, select the appropriate link under Version Properties.

Version properties

Use these properties to configure a specific version of a monitor model.

Manage schema

Runs the schema scripts locally or exports them to a .zip file so they can be run later or remotely.

Manage Cognos Cubes

Publishes a cube package, exports a cube package, or deletes a cube package and displays information about the last fine-grained security update, if applicable

Enable Data Movement Service

Runs the Data Movement Service (DMS) scripts locally or exports them to a .zip file so they can be run later or remotely.

Change CEI distribution mode

Changes the CEI distribution mode.

The combination of the monitor model state and transport type results in the following possible distribution modes:
Table 1. Distribution modes
State Definition Queue-based Table-based
Active Events are processed and new monitoring context instances can be created as a result. Active (Queue-based event delivery) Active (Table-based event delivery)
Active (no new MC instances) Events for existing monitoring context instances are processed, but events that would create new root monitoring context instances are ignored. Active (Queue-based event delivery, no new MC instances) Active (Table-based event delivery, no new MC instances)
Inactive (event queue recoverable) Events are saved for a future monitor model version to process. The events are not processed by the current monitor model version. Inactive (Queue-based event delivery, event queue recoverable) Inactive (Table-based event delivery, event queue recoverable)
Inactive Events are not distributed to this monitor model version. Inactive Inactive
See "Monitor model versions" for more information.

Change runtime configuration

Defines the general and error handling configuration for this model version.

View model

Displays the monitor model XML file.

Purge model version

Purges the version of the model when the undeployment of a monitor model fails.

Manage monitor data

Use these properties to manage the data for a specific version of a monitor model.

Export instance data

Filters the instance data to be exported. You can filter based on creation or termination date and time, and then specify the directory to which you are exporting the instance data.

Purge and archive instance data

Specifies the end date and time for purging instances. You can also indicate that you want to archive the purged instances and in which directory to store them on the server.
