In the agent coexistence environment where both WebSphere® Applications agent and ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications are installed, you must do some
additional configuration for the agent and follow a different procedure to configure the data
collector.
About this task
In the agent coexistence environment, you configure only one data collector to send data to both
WebSphere Applications agent and ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications. Both agents must use different ports
to listen to the requests from the data collector.
Procedure
-
If the data collector of ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications, which is installed in the old IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring infrastructure, exists in your
environment, uninstall it.
-
Install the WebSphere Applications agent provided in IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management 8.1.3 or later. It guarantees the data collector
version 7.3.0.11.0 or later, which is supported for agent coexistence, is installed.
-
Make sure that the user ID that is to configure the data collector and the user ID that
installed the application server have the appropriate user privileges required by the agent. For
instructions, see Checking user access requirements.
-
Make sure that the WebSphere Applications agent and ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications are using different port numbers to
listen to the requests from the data collector. The port numbers must be unique, which cannot be
used by any other component in your environment. Configure the agent again to change the port, if
necessary.

- For information about how to configure the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications, see ITCAM for Application Diagnostics or ITCAM
for Applications documentation.

Use the provided configuration utility to configure the data collector. For instructions, see
