IBM System Dashboard for Enterprise Content Management, Version 5.0.0.1

Starting the Listener on Image Services servers and Content Platform Engine servers

Most products that support the Dashboard, such as Content Manager , Image Services Resource Adapter, IBM® Enterprise Records , and other products, make the Listener active by default. However, you must activate the Listener explicitly on an Image Services server (all versions), or a Process Engine server version 4.5.1 or earlier.

Tip Process Engine 5.0 uses a Java Listener, so the following steps do not apply; skip to the next section.

The perf_mon.script file is read from two locations. The released version of the file is in /fnsw/lib/perf. Any customizations to the file are copied to /fnsw/local/sd, so the files are not overwritten when the next release is installed. When you start the Image Services or Process Engine system, the Listener first looks for /fnsw/local/sd/perf_mon.script on UNIX systems or drive:\fnsw_loc\sd\perf_mon.script on Windows systems. If the script does not exist, the Listener looks in the /fnsw/lib/perf directory on UNIX systems or the drive:\fnsw\lib\perf folder on Windows systems. To turn on the Listener automatically whenever Image Services or Process Engine (before release 5.0) is started, complete the following steps:

  1. For UNIX, go to the: /fnsw/local/sd directory, for Windows to: drive:\fnsw_loc\sd to determine whether a perf_mon.script file exists.
    • If a perf_mon.script exists, skip to Step 2.
    • If a perf_mon.script does not exist, create one by copying it from /fnsw/lib/perf/ for UNIX or drive:\fnsw\lib\perf for Windows. cp /fnsw/lib/perf/perf_mon.script /fnsw/local/sd/perf_mon.script (Copy the perf_mon.script file to drive:\fnsw_loc\sd on a Windows server.)
  2. From the /fnsw/local/sd directory for UNIX or drive:\fnsw_loc\sd for Window), use your preferred editor to update the perf_mon.script file. Add the line set ’listener true’ before the poll line. Your edited file looks similar to this example:
    # stamp
    #
    schedule 0 0:00:00 2:00:00
    schedule 0 6:00:00 0:15:00
    schedule 0 19:00:00 2:00:00
    schedule 1 0:00:00 2:00:00
    link 0 1
    link 1 0
    link 2 0
    link 3 0
    link 4 0
    link 5 0
    link 6 1
    set listener true
    poll /fnsw/local/sd/1/perflog
    echo done
    # stamp d;lkfjpojr;wohf  
  3. Save and Exit the file.
  4. Restart the Image Services or Process Engine software. The Listener starts automatically.
