IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.4

Enabling and disabling instrumentation of Web Services as new request types

By default, the Data Collector monitors JAX-RPC 1.1 and Axis 1.x Web Services. To enable monitoring of JAX-WS Web Services, you need to perform additional steps. You can also disable monitoring of all Web Services.

To enable instrumentation of JAX-WS Web Services, you need to deploy the JAX-WS handler for the Data Collector. To do this, perform the following procedure on every application server that is a requester (client) or provider (server) of JAX-WS Web Services, and is monitored by the Data Collector:
  1. Copy the file DC_home/itcamdc/lib/com.ibm.tivoli.itcam.dc.jaxws-handlers.jar into the AppServer_home/plugins directory.
  2. Change to the AppServer_home directory, and run the following command:
    • on Windows®, osgiCfgInit.bat
    • on Linux® or UNIX® systems, ./osgiCfgInit.sh
  3. Restart the application server instances monitored by the Data Collector.
To disable instrumentation of Web Services, set the following property in the Data Collector custom properties file (see The Data Collector properties file):
ws.instrument=false
Important: To enable Web Services composite request monitoring and correlation in the Visualization Engine and in ITCAM for Transactions, you need to monitor both the Web services requester (client) and the Web services provider (server) using ITCAM Agent for WebSphere® Applications Data Collectors, and the Data Collectors must be connected to the same Managing Server.
