BSM uses TQL queries to select CIs from the RTSM and maintains them in the CI Resolver Cache. The CI Resolver compares attributes of discovered CIs held in the CI Resolver Cache with event attributes and event resolver hints to relate each event that BSM receives to a CI in the RTSM.
The out-of-the-box query that BSM uses to query the RTSM is probably broader than you require. You can improve performance by narrowing the scope of the out-of-the-box query so that it loads into your CI Resolver Cache only the CIs that are relevant to your managed environment and to which you expect to map events. If you do not expect to match certain CI types, there is no need to include these CI type in the CI Resolver TQL. For example, if you are only managing Oracle databases, you should exclude databases of other types.
You modify TQL queries using the RTSM Modeling Studio, which provides a graphical representation of the query. You can add or remove information from the query so that it selects only those CIs from the RTSM that you decide are important for your managed environment.
Generally, the procedure for modifying a query is as follows:
Start the Modeling Studio: Administration > RTSM Administration > Modeling > Modeling Studio.
Note: If necessary, see the RTSM online help to familiarize yourself with the features of the Modeling Studio.
Select Queries from the drop-down list in the Resources pane.
Select the TQL query file:
<HPBSM_Root_Directory>/opr/examples/ciresolver/OprSample_CIResoluton_tql.xml
Click the Import button in the left View browsing pane.
Select Views from the drop-down list in the Resources pane.
Select the View file:
<HPBSM_Root_Directory>/opr/examples/ciresolver/OprSample_CIResoluton_view.xml
Click the Import button in the left View browsing pane.
Modify the query to select only the CIs that you need.
Use the count button, which shows the CIs and CI types per node, to evaluate if your changes reduce the number of CIs.
