IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Control the size of event attachments
By default, the maximum size of each file attached to an event acknowledgement is 10 MB, and 1 MB for the size of information segments sent across the network. Environment variables are provided that enable you to change the maximum at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or at the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The event attachment settings that are changed at the desktop client override those for the portal server.
Complete the steps for editing the environment settings of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
Procedure
- Edit the Tivoli Enterprise Portal environment file:
- Start Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services:
Click Start → Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services.
Change to the install_dir/bin directory and enter: ./itmcmd manage.
- Right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal – Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal – Browser, and click Reconfigure. The Configure Application Instance window is displayed for the desktop client (also used for Java WebStart); the Configure Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser window is displayed for the browser client.
- Double-click cnp.attachment.total.maxsize and enter the maximum size in bytes for individual files that get attached to an event acknowledgemen (such as 2500000 for 2.5 MB), and select In Use.
- To change the segment size (the default 1000000 is 1 MB, thus a 5 MB attachment would be transmitted in 5 x 1 MB segments), double-click cnp.attachment.segment.maxsize and enter a new segment size in bytes, and select In Use.
- Click OK to save your changes. Your changes will take effect the next time a user logs on to the portal server. Users already logged on will see no change until they exit, then log on again.
- Edit the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server environment file:
- Open the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server environment file for editing:
In Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services, right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and click Advanced → Edit ENV File .
Change to the install_dir/config directory and open cq.ini in a text editor.
- Delete the # pound symbol at the beginning of the two KFW_ATTACHMENT lines and edit the settings as needed.
KFW_ATTACHMENT_MAX=10000000 is 10 MB. Specify the new maximum file attachment size.
KFW_ATTACHMENT_SEGMENT_MAX=1000000 is 1 MB. Specify the new maximum size for file segments that the attachment file is broken into for transmission.
- Save and close the environment file.
- Click Yes when a message asks if you want to recycle the service; or click No if you prefer to have your changes take effect later by recycling the portal server.
