Virtualization For Reports; Log Report Details And Exceptions - HPE XP7 User Manual

Virtualization for reports

PA maintains a temporary buffer in a folder called the Virtualizer folder for the report data that is being
generated. This is useful if the report is for viewing large number of LDEVs. In such cases, PA uses
certain amount of the management station's disk space to temporarily store the data till the entire report
gets generated. Once the report is completely generated, delete the cached report file from the Virtualizer
folder to release the disk space for other activities.
When the first report is created, PA creates a folder called the Virtualizer folder in the HPSS folder. If
you want to change the location of the Virtualizer folder, edit the following line in the Cache path for
Reports module section, which is located at the end of the ServerParameters.Properties file:
# Cache path for Reports module
#
ReportFileVirtualizerPath=.\\Virtualizer\\
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that '\\' is retained when mentioning the path for the Virtualizer folder.

Log report details and exceptions

When a report is generated, manually or through the schedule, report details and exceptions are logged
in the pa.log and Log4J API files respectively. By default, only error conditions are logged.
To set the level of tracing:
1. Stop the PA service from Start > Programs > HPE XP7 Performance Advisor > Stop services.
2. Navigate to the following location: <install directory>:\HPSS\pa\tomcat\webapps\pa
\WEB-INF\ and open the Log4J.properties file using a text editor.
3. Remove the comment by deleting the # for the line log4j.rootLogger=ALL,
DEFAULT_CONSOLE, DEFAULT_LOG, DEFAULT_SOCKET under Debug Mode, and save the
changes.
4. Restart the PA service from Start > Programs > HPE XP7 Performance Advisor > Restart
services.
You can access the pa.log file from the following location: <install directory>:\HPSS\pa
\tomcat\log\
