ManagementDB / ProfileDB

You can use the ManagementDB / ProfileDB page to create and configure a Management database source connection and multiple Profile database connections to collect performance-related data of your enterprise for various HP BSM applications such as Business Process Monitor (BPM), Real User Monitor (RUM), and HP SiteScope. You can schedule SHR to collect data from the data repositories at specific intervals. In addition, you can view the status of the connection and data collection.
