Prepare a server to use ARM

This topic describes how to prepare the server to use an Application Response Management (ARM) agent.

WebSphere Application Server does not ship an ARM agent. However, it supports the use of agents adhering to ARM 4.0 and ARM 2.0 standards.

To use an ARM agent, import specific JAR files into the appropriate directory on the server.

Tasks

1. Add the ARM library to the application server configuration.

   1. Start the administrative console.

   2. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application Servers > server > Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java virtual machine > Custom properties > New.

   3. For the Name field, enter java.library.path.

   4. For the Value field, enter /QSYS.LIB/QSHELL.LIB:/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB:/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB:/QSYS.LIB/QWLM.LIB.

   5. Click OK.

   6. Save the changes.

2. Grant access to the native code. From the command line, run these commands:

   The default profile under which the HTTP server and the WebSphere HTTP plugin run:

   GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS2/LIBARM4) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) USER(QTMHHTTP) AUT(*EXECUTE)QTMHHTTP
   

   The default profile under which WAS runs:

   GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS2/LIBARM4) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) USER(QEJBSVR) AUT(*EXECUTE)QEJBSVR
