Checking user access requirements

The WebSphere® Applications agent has some user access requirements for the user ID that is to configure the data collector.

About this task

Use the ID that is used to install the application server to configure the data collector after you grant appropriate permissions for the application server installation ID.

Procedure

  • WindowsUse the administrator ID that is used to install the application server to configure the data collector. Make sure that this user ID has full write permission the data collector home directory, install_dir\dchome\7.3.0.14.08.
  • Linux or AIXUse the user ID that is used to install the application server to configure the data collector. Make sure that this user ID has read and write permissions to the following subdirectories within install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.08:
    • bin
    • data
    • logs
    • runtime
    Remember: If you use different user IDs to install application servers, you might need to use different user IDs to configure the data collector. After you configure the data collector for the first time, grant the write permission to the following files every time you use a different user ID to configure the data collector, where profile_name is the application server profile name:
    • install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.08/data/findservers.inputlist
    • install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.08/data/profile_name.findservers.progress
    • install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.08/data/config_inputlist
    • install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.08/runtime/custom/connections.properties
