To enable Health Center monitoring of a WebSphere® Application Server test environment in Rational® Application Developer, use the administration console to change the configuration.
Before you begin
The Health Center agent must be installed. See Installing a Health Center monitoring agent for more information about how to install the agent before you start the WebSphere Application Server test environment with monitoring enabled.
Procedure
- Locate the Java runtime environment directory for the test
runtime environment that you want to monitor with the Health Center. For WebSphere Application Server v6.1 in Rational Application Developer 7.0 on a Microsoft
Windows system, this directory is typically C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70\runtimes\base_v61\java\jre.
- Copy the agent files into this directory.
- From the Rational Application Developer console, click Servers then select the test runtime environment that you want to start.
- Right-click to display a list of actions, then click Start.
- From the Rational Application Developer console, click Servers then select the test runtime environment again.
- Right-click to display a list of actions, then click Run administrative console.
- When the admin console has started, locate and update the generic Java Virtual Machine (JVM) arguments field by expanding .
- Expand .
- Add the correct string for your JVM version to the end of the Generic JVM arguments field.
- Click Apply and Save.
- From the Rational Application Developer console, click Servers then restart the test runtime environment. To restart the runtime emvironment, right-click to display a list of actions, then click .
- Start the Health Center client.
- Connect to the system that is running the Rational Application Developer test runtime environment. For more information about connecting, see Connecting an application to the Health Center client.
- You can check that you have connected to the correct test environment from the Health Center
GUI. Click Environment to see the environment perspective then click
Java Virtual Machine. The
Java Home value is the same as the
runtime environment directory that you located in the first step.
