IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Install the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter

The Managing Server's SNMP Adapter can be run on any system that has connectivity to the data collector and the Patrol EM server. The Java runtime version 1.3 or later must be installed on the system and be included in the PATH environment variable.

This is the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter Installation on a Windows platform:

  1. Copy the following files to a directory on the Windows platform:

    • AMTrapReceiver.jar

    • am.conf

    • amSnmpAdapter.bat (Windows)

    These files need to be in the same directory.

  2. Edit the am.conf file to specify the following items:

    • Patrol EM server name

    • Socket number that you configured for the ITCAM for Application Diagnostics path

    • SNMP port number

    # DESCRIPTION: AM BMC Patrol EM Adapter Configuration
    #
    # The configuration entries are as follows:
    #
    # PEM_HOST   > Name of Patrol EM server # PEM_SOCKET > Socket on Patrol EM server to receive ITCAM
    #            > trap data
    # SNMP_PORT  > Port number to listen for incoming SNMP trap on #

  3. Navigate to the directory containing the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter files.

  4. Start the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter by entering the following command at a DOS prompt:

> amSnmpAdapter.bat

The Managing Server's SNMP Adapter will begin listening for SNMP traps on the port specified in the am.conf file. Error messages will be generated and output to standard out if any problems occur in receiving and decoding the ITCAM for Application Diagnostics SNMP traps. The error output can be redirected to a log file if desired by starting the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter with the following command:

> amSnmpAdapter.bat > am.log

This is the Managing Server's SNMP Adapter installation and configuration on a UNIX or Linux platform:

  1. On the UNIX or Linux platform, extract ITCAM for Application Diagnostics SNMP Adapter files from bmc_snmp_adapter.tar:
    tar xvf bmc_snmp_adapter.tar

    Extract the files to the /home/u/NetCmmnd directory. If desired, you may move the files to another directory, but all of ITCAM for Application Diagnostics SNMP Adapter files must be in the same directory.

  2. Edit the am.conf file as described in Step 2.

  3. Login as root, and run the following command:
    ./amSnmpAdapter.sh > am.log &
    This will start ITCAM for Application Diagnostics SNMP Adapter running in the background. The system will output any error messages to the file am.log.
