Change the Managing Server that a data collector is connected to
The question: How to change the Managing Server which a data collector is connected to?
The answer: Perform the following steps:
- Log in to the WAS administrative console.
- Modify the MS_AM_home variable to reflect the path of the new Managing Server and save your changes.
If the Managing Server is on UNIX, the path that you enter needs to start with two forward-slashes (//). For example, //opt/IBM/itcam/WebSphere/MS.
- Stop the instance of WAS or WebSphere Portal Server to be used by the data collector.
- In the DC_home/etc directory, edit the datacollector.properties file. Change all the IP references in that file to the new IP address.
- In the DC_home/etc directory, there will be about 4 system generated files for your server. Delete those system generated files. These will have the following format: nodename.servername.datacollector.properties.
- Tar the files in the DC_home/logs directory into a tar file.
- Start the instance of WAS or WebSphere Portal Server to be used by the data collector.
