IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for WebSphere Applications, Version 7.2

Executing the configuration script in batch mode

Executing the configuration script in batch (auto-run) mode eliminates the need for command-prompt-execution prompting.

About this task

Complete the following procedure to run the configuration script in batch (auto-run) mode by running the config.sh script through a command-prompt:

Procedure

  1. Log in as a WebSphere® administrator who has permission to perform the application server configuration.
  2. Complete one of the following procedures:
    • If you are running the application server in a Network Deployment environment, ensure that the Deployment Manager and the node agent are running.
    • If you are running the application server in a non-Network Deployment environment, ensure that the instance of the application server that is being monitored by ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server is running.
  3. Run config.sh from a command-prompt. Complete the same procedure you use to run config.sh in prompt mode, but indicate all the options you want to specify at the command-prompt (or by exporting the corresponding environment variable before running config.sh). Be sure to indicate options that are required for running in batch mode. See Executing the configuration script in prompt mode.

Results

The configuration script creates a log of all the configuration operations that it performs. You can review the log for any error conditions, and you might be requested to provide the log contents to IBM® software support for problem diagnosis. The log file is called config.log and is located in the runtime directory under config_home, for example, /u/itcam72/runtime/config.log.
For successful configuration, look for messages similar to the following message:
Successfully configured data collector for server server1
