IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Change data collector maintenance level using command line - WAS agent

If an application server instance is monitored by the Data Collector version 7.1, and more than one maintenance level for this version is installed on the host (for example, 7.1.0 and 7.1.0.1), you can change the maintenance level. You must perform this change to update the monitoring to a new maintenance level; you can not remove an old maintenance level until all monitored server instances are moved to another level.

To change the data collector maintenance level for server instances:

  1. Run...

      cd /opt/IBM/ITM/bin)
      ./itmcmd config -A yn

    The itmcmd utility prompts you whether you want to change Agent configuration: 

    Agent configuration started...
Edit "ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications" settings? [ 1=Yes, 2=No ]
 (default is: 1):
    Enter 1, or press Enter to accept the default.

  2. The utility prompts you to select the configuration type: 
    Select Configuration Type :
Choose the configuration type:
 
Configuration type description:

    1.Use this option to configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent 
(TEMA) port number or Agent ID. If you modify the Tivoli Monitoring Agent 
port, all Application Servers with data collectors must be restarted to 
complete the reconfiguration.

    2.Use this option to configure the data collector to monitor 
application server instances. You can also use this option to configure the 
data collector to connect to the Managing Server. The option requires that 
either the Application Servers are running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node 
Agent and Deployment Manager are running (WAS ND or XD). The Servers must 
be restarted to complete the configuration.

    3.Use this option to unconfigure the data collector from Application 
Server instances. This option will remove all data collector configuration 
and runtime filesfor these instances. It requires that either the Application 
Servers are running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment 
Manager are running (WAS ND or XD). The Server instances must be restarted 
to complete the configuration. After the unconfiguration, your Application 
Server instances will no longer be monitored.

    4.Use this option to reconfigure your data collectors to use a different 
Managing Server, change Managing Server information, or disable data collector 
communication to the Managing Server. The data collector must be already 
configured to monitor at least one application server instance. You will 
need to restart the application servers monitored by the data collector.

    5.Use this option to upgrade ITCAM for WebSphere 6.1.x data collector 
to ITCAM 7.1; also to upgrade ITCAM for WAS 7.0.x data collector to 
ITCAM 7.1. It requires that either the Application Servers are running 
(WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment Manager are running 
(WAS ND or XD). The Servers must be restarted to complete the configuration.

    6.Use this option to update data collectors with the new maintenance or 
reverting the update.It requires that either the Application Servers are 
running (WAS Base Edition) or the Node Agent and Deployment Manager are 
running (WAS ND or XD). The Servers must be restarted to complete the 
configuration.

    7.Use this option to remove unused data collectors maintenance levels.

  5. The configuration utility prompts you for the WebSphere server instance names. 
    Input WebSphere Server Instance Name 
For example: cells/ITCAMCell/nodes/ITCAMNode/servers/server1
(default is: ):
    Enter the full names of one or several WebSphere server instances for which you need to change the maintenance level. Separate multiple instances with commas (for example, cells/Cell01/nodes/Node01/servers/server1, cells/Cell01/nodes/Node01/servers/server2)

    You can enter several instance names in this step if the instances are federated to the same Deployment manager in Network Deployment. Do not enter several instances with different administrative server names.

  6. The configuration utility prompts you for the host name or IP address of the WebSphere administrative server. 
    The WebSphere administrative server host name or IP address.
Please input Server Admin Host (default is: localhost):
    Enter the WebSphere administrative server fully qualified host name or IP address (for example, 9.123.98.67).

  7. Select the WebSphere administrative server connection type. 
    The WebSphere administrative server connection type.
Please select Server Connection Type [ 1=SOAP, 2=RMI ] (default is: 1):
    Enter 1 for a SOAP connection, or 2 for an RMI connection.

  8. The configuration utility prompts you for the server administrative port number. 
    The WebSphere administrative server port number.
Please input Server Admin Port (default is: 8880):
    Enter the port number.

  9. The configuration utility prompts you whether you want to use the user name and password stored in the client properties file, if WebSphere Global Security is enabled.

Edit 'Select Data Collector Configuration' settings, 
[1=Add, 2=Edit, 3=Del, 4=Next, 5=Exit] (default is: 5):
    If you want to change the data collector maintenance level for more WebSphere application server instances, enter 1 and go to Step 5. Otherwise, press Enter.

  11. If this is the first time server instances are updated to this maintenance level on this host, the configuration utility prompts you whether to preserve customizations in common configuration files. 
    Would you like to preserve customizations :
 
If true then customizations of common configuration files 
will be preserved. Otherwise they will be overwritten with 
files from the selected maintenance.
Preserve customizations to common configuration files 
[ 1=true, 2=false ] (default is: 1):
    Unless you have special requirements, preserve the customizations; enter 1.

  12. The configuration utility prompts you whether to preserve customizations in server instance configuration files. 
    If true then customizations of per-server configuration files 
will be preserved. Otherwise they will be overwritten with 
files from the selected maintenance.
Preserve customizations to per-server configuration files 
[ 1=true, 2=false ] (default is: 1):
    Unless you have special requirements, preserve the customizations; enter 1.

  13. In the next step, you can choose to create a response file to save your configuration settings. You can use the response file to perform a silent configuration with the same parameters. 
    The wizard can save your settings to a response file. A response file
 can be used to perform a silent configuration.
