Automating ISII services during server startup

Enable auto-start of IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight services either at installation time, or manually after you install. By default, ISII installation defers ISII service enablement since it modifies potentially sensitive operation system files.

About this task

ISII components include the following items:
  • ISII (WebSphere®) server
  • ISII SNMPAgent
  • ICFM HTTP pipeline
  • ICFM IMQ (IBM Message Queue) pipeline
By default, the ISII installation program does not change Linux system files and directories. Therefore, the ISII.ENABLE.AUTOSTART installation property value is set to no and all the configured scripts are left in the 'garage'. By default, the garage is located in the /opt/IBM/icfm/2.0/ISII directory on the ICFM supplemental server. You can make local changes to the files in the garage and then run the promotional script (cfg-icfm-isii-svcs.sh). This script performs the following tasks:
  • Moves the pertinent files from the garage to the appropriate system locations.
  • Makes appropriate permissions and ownership changes.
  • Establishes the appropriate symbolic links in the Linux run-level directories.
Note: If you change or rename any of the files in the garage, ensure that you make corresponding changes to the promotion script (cfg-icfm-isii-svcs.sh). This script is run during installation. This script can be advantageous when you are deploying proof-of-concept environments.

Procedure

To automate ISII services:

  1. Edit the CFM.SUPP.properties file and set the ISII.ENABLE.AUTOSTART installation property value to yes.
    Note: This file is located in the /icfminstall/cfm20_install/installs/instance_name/cfm20/topology directory on the ICFM server (Data server in a three-server environment).
  2. Save your changes.
