Test Java application attribute groups
You can test the Java application attribute group that you created, within Agent Builder.
Restriction: Unlike most other attribute groups, you cannot test the Java application attribute group while it is being created. You can test the attribute group when it is added to the agent and the agent is saved. Saving the agent causes the Java code to be generated for the attribute group.
Procedure
- Select an attribute group on the Agent Editor Data Source Definition page after agent creation and click Test .
For more information about the Agent Editor, see The Tivoli Monitoring Agent Editor After you click Test in one of the previous two steps, the Test Java Client window Figure 1 is displayed.

- Optional: Set environment variables, configuration properties, and Java information before you start testing. See (Attribute group testing). For more about default Java runtime configuration properties, see (Java API configuration).
- Click Start Agent. A window indicates that the Agent is starting.
- To simulate a request from Tivoli Enterprise Portal or SOAP for agent data, click Collect Data. The agent monitors the Java Client for data. The Test Java Client window displays any data that is returned.
- Optional: Click Check Results if the returned data is not as you expected. The Data Collection Status window opens and shows you more information about the data. The data that is collected and displayed by the Data collection Status window is described in Performance Object Status node
- Stop the agent by clicking Stop Agent.
- Click OK or Cancel to exit the Test Java Client window. Clicking OK saves any changes that you made.
