This can be due to a queue of tacmd/soap requests in the system. It is best to have a review of what SOAP jobs (if any) are running via batch jobs and as scripts provided to user; as these can build up over time and some may no longer be needed. However the number of threads by... [More]

Troubleshooting: WebSphere Applications Agent - Request data is inconsistent between the Performance Management console and Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Problem: In agent coexistence environment where one data collector collects and passes data to both WebSphere Applications agent (v8 agent) and the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications (v6 agent), request data might be inconsistent between the Requests with Slowest Response Time widget in the Performance Management console and the Request Analysis workspace on Tivoli Enterprise Portal.

Verifying your Thresholds have been distributed to your monitored Agents.
If you've created few Thresholds in your APM 8.1.3 console and you're wondering if these Thresholds have been distributed to your Agent system, here are some steps that you can use to verify: 1. When you create your Threshold in the APM console using the Threshold Manager , the new Threshold that you created gets written into a private_situations.xml file on the APM server. This is a regular xml file that contains all your Thresholds and is in the wlp servers directory (see screenshot below for the path.) In my example... [More]
