Common environment variables

The table in this section lists the environment variables that are common to all components.

Common environment variables

Variable Value type Purpose
KDC_DEBUG Y or N Default is N. Diagnosing RPC communications or connectivity problems between the following components:

The portal server and the monitoring server.

An agent and the monitoring server.

A remote monitoring server and the hub monitoring server.

KDE_DEBUG Y or N Default is N. Diagnosing general communication problems, including TCP and SSL setup and connections, local interface discovery, host name resolution, and so on.
KBS_DEBUG Y or N Default is N. Consolidates KDC_DEBUG, KDE_DEBUG, and KDH_DEBUG, into one environment variable to simplify the process of collecting diagnostic information.
KDE_TRANSPORT Change the default port settings for a monitoring agent.
KDC_FAMILIES Change the default port settings for a monitoring agent.
KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED Enable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=NO (default)

Do not enable FIPS 140-2 cryptographic support.

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=YES

Enable FIPS 140-2 cryptographic support.

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=SP800-131a

Enable the NIST SP800-131a security.

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=SuiteB-128

Enable the SuiteB 128-bit level of security.

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=SuiteB-192

Enable the SuiteB 192-bit level of security.

KDEB_INTERFACELIST Contains interface addresses in the order for which these interface addresses should be discovered and used.
KDH_DEBUG Y or N Default is N. Diagnosing connectivity problems with the integrated web server.
KBB_RAS1 Trace specification string
Default tracing level:
KBB_RAS1=ERROR

Diagnosing client request problems:
KBB_RAS1=ERROR (UNIT:ctsql IN ER)
(UNIT:ctdata IN ER)

Diagnosing client or Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server interaction problems:
KBB_RAS1=ERROR (UNIT:ctsql IN ER)
(UNIT:ctdata IN ER) (UNIT:ctcmw IN ER)
(UNIT:kv4 IN ER)

Diagnosing SQL generation problems:
KBB_RAS1=ERROR (UNIT:ctsql IN ER)
(UNIT:ctdata IN ER) (UNIT:ctreport ALL)

Diagnosing login problems: KBB_RAS1=ERROR
(UNIT:ctsql IN ER) (UNIT:ctdata IN ER)
(UNIT:ctauth ALL)
KBB_RAS1_LOG Determines the count limit and the maximum files settings.
KBB_SIG1 To generate tracing, core dumps or stacktraces, on error.

Possible values: -trace, -dumpoff, -asyncoff

Default value: blank

KHD_HISTSIZE_EVAL_INTERVAL Seconds Controls how often (in seconds) the Warehouse Proxy Agent client code checks the size of the historical files. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
