HP-UX Workload Manager Toolkits User's Guide

HP-UX WLM Oracle Database Toolkit: Providing Database Metrics to WLM
Supported installations
Chapter 2 23
Unsupported combinations
Oracle8i includes Database Resource Manager. When used with WLM,
Database Resource Manager can produce unexpected results in terms of
resource allocation and user-access priorities—however, there are no
data integrity issues. Nevertheless, HP recommends that you not use
Database Resource Manager and HP-UX Workload Manager on the
same system at the same time.
Required software
ODBTK uses /opt/perl/bin/perl.
If you already have perl version 4.0.1.8 (or newer) installed in a location
other than /opt/perl/bin/ and you prefer to use your perl, either:
• Ensure there is a symbolic link from /opt/perl/bin/perl to your perl
or
• Invoke wlmoradc and smooth with your installed perl.
The following examples illustrate this idea for perl installed in
/usr/contrib/bin/ instead of /opt/perl/bin/, with the invocations on the
command line:
# /usr/contrib/bin/perl /opt/wlm/lbin/coll/wlmoradc arguments
# /usr/contrib/bin/perl /opt/wlm/lbin/coll/smooth arguments
The next examples perform the same functions as the previous lines,
but with the invocations inside the WLM configuration file using the
coll_argv keyword:
coll_argv = /usr/contrib/bin/perl /opt/wlm/lbin/coll/wlmoradc arguments ;
coll_argv = /usr/contrib/bin/perl /opt/wlm/lbin/coll/smooth arguments ;
Use the coll_stderr keyword in your WLM configuration to catch perl
incompatibilities, ODBTK errors, and errors in your data collectors.
