Steps to configure Operations Center HUB Server if intial connection doesn't work

Resolving The Problem

Run the following commands to manually configure the HUB Server:

- open the Server Administrative Command Line (dsmadmc), login as a sys admin, and run these commands:

REGISTER ADMIN IBM-OC-SERVER1 <password> AUTH=LOCAL
 GRANT AUTHORITY IBM-OC-SERVER1 CL=SYS
 SET STATUSREFRESHINTERVAL 2
 SET STATUSRETENTION 48
 SET ALERTACTIVEDURATION 480
 SET ALERTINACTIVEDURATION 480
 SET ALERTCLOSEDDURATION 60
 SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=AP INTERVAL=24
 SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=VM INTERVAL=24
 SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=SY INTERVAL=24
 SET STATUSSKIPASFAILURE YES TYPE=AP
 SET STATUSSKIPASFAILURE YES TYPE=VM
 SET STATUSSKIPASFAILURE YES TYPE=SY
 SET STATUSMONITOR ON
 SET ALERTMONITOR ON
 SET MONITORINGADMIN IBM-OC-SERVER1

***Note: these are the defauls settings. They can be changed anytime by accessing "Global Settings" from Operations Center or by running the UPDATE <parameter> commands.***


- The second part is creating the "serverConnection.properties" file.
Create the file in the
<installation_dir>/ui/Liberty/usr/servers/guiServer directory, where installation_dir represents the directory in which the Operations Center is installed. For example:

• AIX and Linux systems: /opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/usr/servers/guiServer
• Windows systems: c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\ui\Liberty\usr\servers\guiServer

and put this text into the file (make sure that port and address are correct comparing to the configuration in place):

#TSM Server Properties File
SERVER_PORT=1500
OC_IS_REST_ENABLED=false
SERVER_USE_SSL=false
SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD_DECRYPTED=xxxxx
**NOTE: where xxxxx is the password in plain text specified when the "REGISTER ADMIN IBM-OC-SERVER1..." command has been issued **
SERVER_USE_TLS12_ONLY=false
SERVER_ADDRESS=<ipaddress of HUB Server>
SERVER_ADMIN=IBM-OC-SERVER1


- Restart the Operations Center and verify if the HUB server and above settings are all in place
