IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Add the KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable
The KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable must be added to the appropriate file (*ENV file on Windows).
The KDE_TRANSPORT variable supersedes and overrides the KDC_FAMILIES variable. If a KDC_FAMILIES variable exists in the file, merge the KDC_FAMILIES settings with the KDE_TRANSPORT settings. Copy the KDC_FAMILIES settings that you want to keep to the new KDE_TRANSPORT variable.
Use the following procedure to add the KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable to the appropriate file:Add the KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable to the ENV file for the component.
For example, the ENV file for the Windows OS agent is named KNTENV, where NT is the product code for the Windows OS agent. For a list of product codes, see IBM Tivoli product, platform, and component codes.
Edit the ENV file:
- In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, right-click the component that you want to change, point to Advanced, and select Edit ENV File.
- Add a line similar to the following example:
KDE_TRANSPORT=IP.PIPE PORT:1918 COUNT:N SKIP:N IP use:n SNA use:n IP.SPIPE use:nwhere N is the number of ports to reserve (COUNT:N) or the number of ports to skip (SKIP:N). This example uses the IP.PIPE protocol. It also applies to IP.SPIPE.
- Search the file for a KDC_FAMILIES environment variable. If a KDC_FAMILIES variable exists in the file, merge its settings with the new KDE_TRANSPORT variable. The KDE_TRANSPORT variable supersedes and overrides the KDC_FAMILIES variable.
- Save the file.
- Recycle the component. (Right-click the component and select Recycle.)
