IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Enable Configuration Management Database Discovery Library integration and executing the feature

ITCAM for Application Diagnostics has a feature that can extract relevant resources and relationships from ITCAM for Application Diagnostics's database to be retrieved and stored by the CMDB, which is the central source of information in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). This feature produces XML files from the monitoring information contained within ITCAM for Application Diagnostics's database. The CMDB Discovery Library can then store these XML files in its warehouse of IdML book files.

Only CICS/IMS related transaction information is exported into the CMDB.

The CMDB documents that are referred to in this section are located at the following Web site: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v10r1/index.jsp?toc=/com.ibm.ccmdb.doc/ccmdb_ic.xml

To enable and use this feature:

  1. Ensure that the server where the Managing Server is installed has write access to the file system that contains the CMDB Discovery Library repositories of IdML book files.

  2. (optional) Copy the MS_home\etc\cmdb\TCAMfWAS.zip file to a new directory.

  3. Extract the file into the current directory.

  4. Modify the adapter.properties file to reflect the settings for your Managing Server. See the comments in the file for instructions for modifying the file.

  5. Modify the script in that directory (dlAdapter.bat) to point to the location of the database JDBC drivers (.jar files) for your Managing Server.

  6. Modify dlAdapter.bat to have the correct Java path for the Java files on your Managing Server.

  7. From the directory that contains the dlAdapter.bat file, run the following command: 
    dlAdapter.bat [-verbose|-extremelyVerbose] [configFile]

    The configFile is the full path and filename of the modified adapter.properties configuration file. If you changed the name of the file or saved it to another directory, enter a value for this option.

    The -verbose option indicates a detailed tracing level (for debugging). It is the equivalent of DEBUG_MID. Do not use this option without the guidance of Level 3 IBM Software Support.

    The -extremelyVerbose option indicates a detailed tracing level that requires large amounts of disk space. It is the equivalent of DEBUG_MAX. Do not use this option without the guidance of Level 3 IBM Software Support.

    1. If you run the script without any options, clickon the file from Windows Explorer to run it.

    2. The monitoring information must first be available in ITCAM for Application Diagnostics's database before the Discovery Library Adapter can produce the XML files.

    3. The resulting file only contains information about the following request types:

      - 24 == REQUEST_TYPE_GPS_INVOKE
      - 25 == REQUEST_TYPE_GPS_RECEIVE
      - 26 == REQUEST_TYPE_GPS_PUT
      - 27 == REQUEST_TYPE_GPS_GET

  8. Load the XML files from a shared directory into the CMDB server using the bulk load program. See the Configuration Discovery and Tracking User's guide for information about using the bulk load program.

  9. Extract the contents of MS_home\etc\ITCAMSIMRegistration.zip into the CMDB_home/bin directory on the CMDB server.

  10. Register the System Integration Module (SIM) on the CMDB server. See the instructions in ITCAMSIMRegistration.README file from the unpackaged .zip file.

  11. Associate the SIM with a Management Software Systems (MSS):

    1. Use a web browser on any host to access the CMDB portal.

    2. Click the small Log In item in the upper right-hand corner and log in.

    3. Click the small ISC item in the upper right-hand toolbar. A welcome window is displayed.

    4. Under heading ITSM System Administration select Configure System Integration Module. A table of Integration Modules (IM's) is shown.

    5. Select the radio button next to table row ITCAM for WAS System Integration Module, then click the Manage SIM to MSS Associations button above the table. A table of MSS's is shown

    6. Select the radio button next to the table row with the following attributes 
      ManufacturerName=IBM
      ProductName=IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager 
    for Websphere+ProductVersion=6.1

    7. Click the Associate SIM to MSS button above the table.

  12. View status using the SIM:

    1. Click the small ISC item in the upper right-hand toolbar. A welcome window is displayed.

    2. Under heading Availability Management select Determine Business Impact. A search wizard window is displayed.

    3. In the Available Types drop list, select Business Process, then click the Search button. A table of business processes is displayed.

    4. Select the /cyanea_one/testware/dsStateful display name from business processes table and click the Next button. A table containing the status for the data collector is displayed.
