Configuring WebSphere Application Server environments

Configuring WebSphere® Application Server environments

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 Health Center agent before you configure WebSphere Application Server.

You might also need to configure Health Center, by setting the following configuration properties:
  • If you have Health Center version 1.3.0 or later and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS®, use the transport protocol property to set the transport protocol to Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP). The default setting (IIOP) uses an object request broker (ORB), but the ORB that is created by the Health Center conflicts with the customized ORB that is required by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. When you set the transport protocol to JRMP, the Health Center does not create or use an ORB.
  • If Health Center is set to use the default transport protocol (IIOP), set a second port for use by the ORB. Use the IIOP port system property to specify this port.
For more information about properties and configuring Health Center, see Health Center configuration properties.

Procedure

  1. In WebSphere Application Server, click Servers -> Server Types -> WebSphere application servers.
  2. Click the server name, then click Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine.
  3. In Generic JVM Arguments, type one of the following strings, according to your operating system and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version:
    On UNIX system based operating systems:
    • For Java 5 service refreshes before SR10, and Java 6 service refreshes before SR5:
      -agentlib:healthcenter -Xtrace:output=/tmp/perfmon.%p.out
    • For later service refreshes and releases:
      -Xhealthcenter
    On Microsoft Windows:
    • For Java 5 service refreshes before SR10, and Java 6 service refreshes before SR5:
      -agentlib:healthcenter -Xtrace:output=C:\temp\perfmon.%p.out
    • For later service refreshes and releases:
      -Xhealthcenter
  4. Apply the changes, then save the settings.
  5. Restart the server.

    On UNIX system based operating systems, the perfmon*.out files are in the /tmp directory.

    On Microsoft Windows, the perfmon*.out files are in your temporary directory.

  6. Connect to the server from the Health Center client. The default port number is 1972. For more information about connecting, see Connecting an application to the Health Center client.
