IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Enable method signature tracing

Before performing the following procedure, be informed that turning on method signature tracing will increase performance overhead and that increasing method signature length will increase hard disk consumption.

To enable method signature tracing and (optionally) modify method signature length:

  1. Before you can enable method signature tracing, the data collector connecting to the Managing Server needs to be installed and configured. See one of the following publications:

    • IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere: Distributed data collector Installation and Customization Guide

    • IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere (z/OS): data collector Customization Guide

    • IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for J2EE: data collector Installation and Customization Guide

  2. In the DC_home/runtime/app_server_version.node_name.server_name/custom/toolkit_custom.properties file, uncomment the following line by removing the number sign (#) at the beginning of the line: 
    am.camtoolkit.gpe.customxml.L3=DC_home/itcamdc/etc/method_entry_exit.xml

  3. Set the following property to true: 
    com.ibm.tivoli.itcam.toolkit.ai.methodentryexittrace=true

  4. (Required only if you are integrating the Managing Server with IBM Rational Performance Tester) The method signature length is defined in the Archive Agent's properties by the TEXTSTRING_LENGTH entry, with a default value of 60. Increase or decrease the length, as needed, in the Archive Agent's properties files (such as aa.properties, aa1.properties and aa2.properties).

  5. (Required only if you are integrating the Managing Server with IBM Rational Performance Tester) If you want to see the method signature from the ITCAM for Application Diagnostics Managing Server (for example, from a drill-down view), the following line needs to be added to the Publish Server properties files (such as ps1.properties and ps2.properties): 
    display_method_signature=true

Method signature tracing is only active when the monitoring is set to MOD Level 3.
