IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Create application traps in Managing Server Visualization Engine to see ITCAM agents data in RPT version 7 and 8

The problem: IBM Rational Performance Tester (RPT) can process and analyze transaction data from ITCAM agents for WebSphere Applications and J2EE through a web service. ITCAM agents for WebSphere Applications and J2EE support RPT version 7.x and 8.x. To see ITCAM agents data in RPT, you can create application traps with method trace data action in Managing Server Visualization Engine (MSVE).

The solution: To configure the Managing Server to work with RPT:

  1. For information about RPT and how to install it, see the following Web site: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rpthelp/v8r0m0/index.jsp

  2. If you have installed the Managing Server with an existing WAS 6.1, enable WAS global security manually by completing the following steps:

    1. Log on to the WAS administrative console.

    2. Open Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > Application security.

    3. Select Enable Application Security.

    4. Click Apply.

    5. Save your changes.

    For embedded installations of WAS and for all existing WASs except version 6.1, WAS global security is automatically enabled during Managing Server installation.

  3. Enable method signature tracing.

In RPT to import transaction data from the Managing Server to RPT:

  1. Start IBM Rational Performance Tester - Full Eclipse, from the File menu select Import.

  2. In the Import window, select Response Time Breakdown Data and click Next.

  3. In the monitoring server Host field, enter the VE user name and password.

  4. In Web Service Port, select Use port and enter the VE port number, click Next.

  5. In the Constraints panel, specify the period of time for which you wish to import data, click Next.

  6. In the Trap window, select a trap to see method trace data.
