About this task

Tip:

You can create start-up scripts to automatically start the various Netcool® Operations Insight products. For instructions and an example of how to configure a start-up script, see the The Netcool Process Agent and machine start-up section in the Netcool/OMNIbusBest Practices Guide, which can be found on the Netcool/OMNIbus best-practice Wiki: http://ibm.biz/nco_bpsexternal link

You can configure Jazz® not to prompt for user credentials when the stop command is run. After creating a backup, edit the following lines in the /opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile/properties/soap.client.props file:
com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled=true
com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=smadmin
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=netcool
Run the following command to encrypt the embedded password within the file: 
/opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile/bin/PropFilePasswordEncoder.sh \ 
/opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile/properties/soap.client.props \ 
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword
