This section describes the required configurations as well as the optional configurations available for the Solution Package for IBM WebSphere in the RTView Configuration Application. You must define the classpath to the IBM WebSphere Admin API jar files and you must also define data source connections for each connection that you want to monitor.

Configuring Data Collection

To configure data collection:

• Navigate to the Solution Package Configuration > IBM WebSphere  > CONNECTIONS tab.
• On the CONNECTIONS tab, provide the correct full path to the directory containing the IBM WebSphere Admin API  jar files in the Classpath field. If your jars are in multiple directories, copy them to a common directory and add the path to that directory here.

• Click the  icon.

The Add Connection dialog displays.

• Specify the connection information and click SAVE where:

Connection Name: The name of the connection (this must be unique).

URL: Specify the path to the JMX connection of the IBM WebSphere Server to which you want to connect. For example, service:jmx:iiop://somehost:2809/jndi/JMXConnector.

Username: The username defined to secure the connection. This value is only required when the connection has been secured.

Password: This password defined to secure the connection. This value is only required when the connection has been secured. By default, the password entered is hidden. Click the  icon to view the password text.

Properties

com.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL: Specify the full path (URL) that points to the ssl.client.props file. For example: file:/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/ssl.client.props

com.ibm.SOAP.ConfigURL: Specify the full path (URL) that points to the soap.client.props file. For example: file:/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/soap.client.props

java.com.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL: Specify the full path (URL) that points to the sas.client.props file. For example: file:/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/sas.client.props

java.naming.factory.initial: Specify the initial context factory to use when creating a new initial context object. For example: com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory

Additional Properties

Name: Specify the Name and Value of any additional properties you want to use for monitoring your IBM WebSphere Servers.

Value: Enter the value for the property. You can enter multiple properties by entering the name and value and clicking the associated Add button. The added property then displays on the line below. Once entered, you can click the X next to the property name to remove them. By default, the  icon sets the defined Value as secured once the connection is saved. Click this icon prior to clicking Add to make the defined Value visible when the connection is saved.

Once saved, the new connection displays in the Connections region on the CONNECTIONS tab.

• Repeat the previous two steps for each IBM WebSphere server to be monitored.
