If you are running the Agent Builder on a Windows system, You can test the WMI attribute group that you created, within Agent Builder.
Procedure

- Optional: Before you start testing, you can set environment variables and configuration properties. See (Attribute group testing).
- 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 queries WMI for data. The WMI Test window collects and displays any data in the agent's cache since it was last started.
- 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 WMI Test window. Clicking OK saves any changes that you made.
