To configure the usage of optional features and functions,
and integrations with other products, set up the Web GUI Administration
API client. The WAAPI client is required to configure integrations
with IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager,
and IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
Before you begin
Assign the ncw_admin role to the administrative user, or to
the use that will run the WAAPI client.
Procedure
- In the WEBGUI_HOME/waapi/etc/waapi.init file,
set the values of the following properties:
- waapi.user
- A user to which the ncw_admin role is assigned.
- waapi.password
- The password for the user.
- waapi.port
- Optional:
If, during installation, you changed the port for the Web GUI server
from the default of 16310, type the port number.
- Optional: Set the values of the
remaining properties in the file.
You do not have to specify
the rest of the properties at this time; the waapi.user property
and the waapi.password property are sufficient
for the integrations with other products.
Results
The user and password for the WAAPI client are now set, and
you can now run the runwaapi command.
