PDS V2 activation

Edit online

Review information about installing and activating PDS V2 for your historical collection.

PDS V2 is installed as part of OMNIMON Base V7.5.0. Additional maintenance is required for Configuration Manager, PARMGEN, and some individual OMEGAMON products.

Note: If you are setting up collection of your historical data for the first time, see PDS V2 for the first-time OMEGAMON user.

PDS V2 is fully activated by default. Unless steps are taken to postpone PDS V2 activation, all supported components will switch to PDS V2 when the runtime environment is refreshed.

If you are using PDS V1 and you need to delay your transition to PDS V2, you can disable activation and enable it when you are ready. If you have products in your environment that do not support PDS V2, you must disable PDS V2 activation for those products. You can implement an incremental rollout by activating PDS V2 for specific monitoring agents and then the monitoring server; it is recommended that the monitoring server be the last component activated for PDS V2.
Warning: When you switch from PDS V1 to PDS V2, near-term historical data that is in your PDS V1 is not migrated to PDS V2. It is possible that a day or two of data will be lost. You might consider the timing of your switch to PDS V2. For more information, see Considerations when switching from PDS V1 to PDS V2.
Activating the use of PDS V2 for historical collection occurs automatically after the initial startup of the monitoring server or monitoring agent after PDS V2 maintenance is applied.
Important: You can control the activation of PDS V2 for the monitoring server and each monitoring agent separately. Unless manual steps are taken to postpone PDS V2 activation, the switch from PDS V1 to PDS V2 occurs automatically.
If you currently use PDS V1 and choose to temporarily opt out of using PDS V2, see the following procedures:
Before proceeding, make sure to review Differences between PDS V1 and PDS V2.
Warning: You must opt out of PDS V2 activation before the initial startup of the monitoring server or monitoring agent. After switching to PDS V2, you cannot revert to PDS V1 without data loss.
