Overview This is Part 4 in a series of SUF (Situation Update Forwarder) debugging posts. Debugging the SUF means breaking down the components that allow for events to be sent back to ITM. The major area of event handling include - NetCool Event Management to handle the ITM event and writes the event out to a cache file. - Persistence Directory Cache File to hand the event to the SUF listening process - SUF process to read the cache file - SOAP calls to send the event to the ITM SOAP client - ITM event matching to match the receiving event to...

  Sending ITM EIF events to an event destination can work either in a uni-directional fashion or a bi-direction fashion. Uni-directional, meaning sending ITM events to an EIF receiver (typically TEC or Netcool) uses the EIF subcomponent of ITM.  Bi-directional includes going from ITM to the EIF receiver and then from the Event Management Product (such as TEC or Netcool) back to ITM.  This uses the SUF ( Situation Update Forwarder) component of the ITM product.   Debugging the SUF means breaking down the components that allow...

One of the common ways to get ITCAM for Application Diagnostics (WAS agent) Reports is to use the Managing Server Performance & Analysis feature.  (See my earlier blog documented here .)  However, you may not have installed the Managing Server and only have the ITM TEMS/TEPS infrastructure installed.  If you don't have the MS installed and still wish to get some ITCAM-related reports to see your monitored data, then you may have to install/use Tivoli Common Reporting (TCR) to see these History-based...

                    TEP workspace slow to load. Had a report recently of a TEP workspace that was slow to load.   The TEP client used had started at a good speed but one particular workspace took about 5 minutes to load. There can be a number of reasons for the data to take time load, here I will go through the steps taken to define the issue. The first area to look at is the java heap for the TEP client; refer to this page of the manuals:... [More]
