Configuring the System Load application group

The system load logging facility comprises the System Load application group, a system load application, and the System Load folder. The System Load application group contains the storage management information that Content Manager OnDemand uses to maintain the data written to the system load logging facility. When you initialize the system, the application group is not assigned to a storage set. Because the application group is not assigned to a storage set, the system does not maintain a permanent copy of the system load data.

Before you begin defining reports to Content Manager OnDemand, loading data on the system, or allowing users to access the system, you should configure the System Load application group to maintain a permanent copy of the data that is written to the system load logging facility. You can do this by first defining a storage set that specifies a client node in storage managed by Tivoli® Storage Manager and then by updating the System Load application group and assigning it to the storage set.

If your system does not use Tivoli Storage Manager, you should assign the System Load application group to a cache-only storage set and change the length of time that Content Manager OnDemand maintains the system load data to the maximum permitted value.

If you define table space file systems to Content Manager OnDemand, you should store the system load data in table spaces.
