How catalina.sh is updated by Tomcat DC configurator for an IBM Java

Answer

You can check that DC configuration has been successfully completed if the added stanza in catalina.sh (which can typically be found in the <tomcat_home>/bin directory) looks like this for a Tomcat 7.x using an IBM Java:


# *****Configurator of DC Begin

PRODUCT_HOME=/opt/IBM/itcam/J2EE/DC
export PRODUCT_HOME

APPSERVER=tom7
export APPSERVER

NODENAME=nc117189
export NODENAME

PLATFORM=tomcat70
export PLATFORM

QUALDIR=nc117189.tom7
export QUALDIR

CCLOG_COMMON_DIR="/var/ibm/tivoli/common"
export CCLOG_COMMON_DIR

JAVA_OPTS="-Xbootclasspath/p:$PRODUCT_HOME/toolkit/lib/bcm-bootstrap.jar:$PRODUCT_HOME/itcamdc/lib/ppe.probe-bootstrap.jar:$PRODUCT_HOME/itcamdc/lib/ext/tomcat/bcm/tomcat.bcm.jar -Djava.rmi.server.RMIClassLoaderSpi=com.ibm.tivoli.itcam.tomcat.sdc.DCRMIClassLoaderSpi -Dam.appserver=$APPSERVER -Dam.nodename=$NODENAME -Dappserver.platform=$PLATFORM -Dam.home=$PRODUCT_HOME/itcamdc -Ditcam61.home=$PRODUCT_HOME -agentlib:am_ibm_16 -Dtoolkit.native.library.name=am_ibm_16 -Dcom.ibm.tivoli.transperf.instr.probes.impl.was.Globals.traceLevel=0 -Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.ibm.tivoli.itcam.dc.orbinterpretor.Initializer -verbose:gc -Xverbosegclog:/opt/IBM/itcam/J2EE/DC/tomcat70-gc-log.log.tom7 ${JAVA_OPTS} "

export JAVA_OPTS

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/itcam/J2EE/DC/toolkit/lib/linux-ix64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# *****Configurator of DC End


This example is for a Linux 64-bits platform, as it can be seen from the <linux-ix64> string in the library path.


Please note that some JAVA_OPTS parameters are different depending on the specific Java used (IBM or Sun/Oracle/HotSpot).

Also note that Java 1.7 is officially supported starting from the ITCAM for J2EE 7.1.1 release, which is currently the only supported version for ITCAM J2EE (v6.1 has gone out of support at this point).

Java 1.8 is supported starting from ITCAM for J2EE 7.1.1.0.3 (IF3).
