Why and when to perform this task
You can also start the Tivoli Performance Viewer with security enabled. For more information, go to the IBM Support Techdocs library (http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/Web/TechDocs), and search for the Techdoc entitled "Tivoli Performance Viewer" (TD101645).Note: Only the Windows operating system is supported for Tivoli Performance Viewer when viewing PMI data from a z/OS host.
Steps for this task
where:
On the z/OS platform, use the following format to specify the z/OS host, port, and connector type from the Command Prompt:
tperfviewer.bat host_name port_number connector_typefor example:
tperfviewer.bat z/OS_WebSphere_Application_Server's_TCP/IP_address C:\Programs\IBWebSphereClientDevelopmentKitforzOS\bin\tperfviewer.bat z/OS_WebSphere_Application_Server's_TCP/IP_address 8879 SOAP
Connector_type can be either SOAP or RMI. The port numbers for SOAP/RMI connector can be configured in the Administrative Console under Servers > Application Servers > server_name > End Points.
If you are connecting to WebSphere Application Server, use the application server host and connector port. If additional servers have been created, then use the appropriate server port for which data is required. Tivoli Performance Viewer will only display data from one server at a time when connecting to WebSphere Application Server.
If you are connecting to WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, use the deployment manager host and connector port. Tivoli Performance Viewer will display data from all the servers in the cell. Tivoli Performance Viewer cannot connect to an individual server in WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
8879 is the default SOAP connector port for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
8880 is the default SOAP connector port for WebSphere Application Server.
9809 is the default RMI connector port for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
2809 is the default RMI connector port for WebSphere Application Server.
Tivoli Performance Viewer detects which package of WebSphere Application Server you are using and connects using the default SOAP connector port.
If the connection fails, an error box is displayed. When this happens, click OK. When a new dialog box appears, change the host name to the IP address of the z/OS WebSphere Application Server, and click OK. If necessary, you can also change the port number and connector type using this dialog box.
