IV81519: CORRECT CONNECTION PROPERTIES NOT USED BY KSY AGENT.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The KSY Agent does not supply the appropriate
  connection properties when the user specified a protocol other
  than IOR.
  Rather than use the appropriate protocol property
  tep.connection.protocol when the user specifies a value for
  KSZ_JAVA_ARGS, the software always uses the property value
  cnp.http.url.DataBus. APAR IZ7214 allowed the user to
  specify a connection string other than the default,
  but the properties associated with the different connection
  string are not used.
  
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Install ITM 630 FP5 TEPS/TEMS/WPA and SY Agent
  2. Enable the KFW_ORB_SKIP_SSLCERTS=Y and KFW_INTERFACES_LOCAL=Y
     in the TEPS configuration file (cq.ini)
  3. Start the TEMS/TEPS/WPA and KSY Agents
  4. Allow the SY Agent to attempt to connect to the TEPS using
     the default parameters
  5. Observe the following connection exception failure found in
     the sy_java (KSY Agent) log file
  http://endpoint.gcb-us-hosts.hostname.com:1920///cnp/client/ior/
  CTDataBus::Manager
  == 56 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: getHistoryConfig request to the TEP
  Server failed.
  == 57 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: Failed to init history
  == 58 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: Failed to setup history config
  6. Configure in the sy.ini configuration file the parameter
  setting
  KSZ_JAVA_ARGS=-Dtep.connection.protocol=http://endpoint.gcb-us-h
  osts.hostname.com:1920
  7. Allow the KSY Agent to attempt to connect to the TEPS using
  the above parameter setting
  8. Observe the following connection exception failure found in
  the sy_java(KSY Agent) log file
  (http://endpoint.gcb-us-hosts.hostname.com:1920///cnp/client/ior
  /CTDataBus::Manager
  == 56 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: getHistoryConfig request to the TEP
  Server failed.
  == 57 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: Failed to init history
  == 58 t=Thread-5 EXCEPTION: Failed to setup history config
