Configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use WebSphere Application Server

This section describes how to configure System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express. For instructions on using Tomcat instead of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Express Plus, see "Configuring Tomcat to use System Monitor and Failed Event Manager."

Before proceeding, ensure that you have installed the following prerequisites:

After you have met these prerequisites, proceed to Configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a Web server.

Configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a Web server

A script called CWDashboard.bat, located in the directory ProductDir\bin (where ProductDir represents the directory C:\IBM\WebSphereServer by default) is supplied with WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus. This script configures System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a Web server. Perform the following steps:

  1. Run CWDashboard.bat with the following parameters:

    For example:
    C:\IBM\WebSphereServer\bin\CWDashboard.bat "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express502\AppServer" hostname.ibm.com "C:\IBM\WebSphereServer" "C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\java" y.

  2. From the WebSphere Administrator's Console, expand Environment in the left navigation pane, select the Update Web Server Plugin link, and select OK.
  3. If the ICSMonitor Application Server is started, stop it from the command line:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express502\AppServer\bin\   /
    stopServer.bat ICSMonitor
    
  4. Start the ICSMonitor Application Server from the command line:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express502\AppServer\bin\   /
    startServer.bat ICSMonitor
    
  5. To access System Monitor, type the URL:
    http://hostname/ICSMonitor
    

    where hostname is the name of the computer on which WebSphere Application Server is installed.

  6. To access Failed Event Manager, type the URL:
    http://hostname/FailedEvents
    

    where hostname is the name of the computer on which WebSphere Application Server is installed.

If you want to use a different port number and you do not currently have a Web server installed, follow the procedure in the section Configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a different port number.

Configuring System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a different port number

To configure System Monitor and Failed Event Manager to use a different port number, do the following:

  1. Run ProductDir\bin\CWDashboard.bat with the following parameters:
  2. Stop the ICSMonitor Application Server from the command line:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express502\AppServer\bin\   /
    stopServer.bat ICSMonitor
    
  3. Start the ICSMonitor Application Server from the command line:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express502\AppServer\bin\   /
    startServer.bat ICSMonitor
    
  4. To access System Monitor, type the URL:
    http://hostname:portnumber//ICSMonitor
    

    where hostname is the name of the computer on which WebSphere Application Server is installed.

  5. To access Failed Event Manager, type the URL:
    http://hostname:portnumber//FailedEvents
    

    where hostname is the name of the computer on which WebSphere Application Server is installed.
