IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Windows: Scripts Execution Authentication
The problem: By default, the installer grants the right of executing Managing Server control scripts to all the members of the group Administrators on Windows platforms. It allows any of them to start and stop the Managing Server by double-clicking the shortcuts on Desktop or by running the scripts in a KShell console. However, if two or more users run the scripts in an improper order, the lock file may fail.
The solution: Before starting the server, it is required to make sure that there are no pid files under the /tmp directory that was created by other users during previous operations. As another option, the right of executing these scripts can be restricted to one user by changing the ownership and mode of these files with chown and chmod commands.
For the Application Monitor component running on WAS, it is recommended that the same Windows account is used to operate the Managing Server.
