Systems Performance and the MDB

All Unicenter management functions use the MDB to store information about managed objects, their properties, relationships, and the methods by which they are managed. Examples of managed objects are hardware devices, software applications, databases, and processes.

MDB

You can use the Systems Performance tools to publish performance, configuration, and asset data to the MDB.

The Performance Domain Server automatically publishes to the MDB historical performance data that it has obtained from the PDG. Systems Performance tables exist in the MDB schema for this information. Although the data is published to the MDB automatically, the content and granularity are configurable. In addition, the Domain Server enables the publishing of asset and configuration information to the MDB.

You can also use command-line utilities to retrieve performance data from either the PDG or one or more cubes and publish it to the MDB. For more information, see the Inside Systems Performance manual.
