How to Configure Summarization and Pruning

Weekly report of the events (situations being triggered)

You might want to implement the following procedure:
1) On your TEPS change the $CANDLEHOME/CNPS/kfwenv (direct editing or
from MTMS edit) contents for
KFW_PRUNE_START = hh:mm (in 24 hours format, ex. 03:00) default 00:00
KFW_PRUNE_END = hh:mm (ex 05:00) default 04:00
KFW_EVENT_RETENTION = d (where d is number of days to keep) default 1
2) Create a new query with the formula
Open Query Editor
Clic Create New button
Select a category (ex. Warehouse Proxy)
Select ODBC TEPS
Enter name, description and formula: SELECT * FROM KFWTSIT
3) Create a new view in a workspace (or change an existing one) with the
query created in step 2. You might want to modify the filters to reduce
the number of attributes displayed.

You must recycle the TEPS to activate the changes in kfwenv. Naturally it will take some time (value d in step 1) to have the full period. In the view created in step 3 you can export in a csv file. You can save the workplace to a new one.

Effect of changing ip address/hostname of a ITM server

Effect of changing ip address/hostname of a ITM server: "What needs to be done if the ip address/hostname of the server where ITM component is installed and active is changed?"

Question
What needs to be done if the ip address/hostname of the server where ITM component is installed and active is changed?

Answer
Below are the necessary things needed to be done if the ip address/hostname of the ITM component server is changed.

Where HUB TEMS is active

a. The HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to use the new ip address or hostname

b. if this HUB TEMS is a standby TEMS, then the primary HUB TEMS must be configured to change the backup/standby TEMS ip address or hostname

c. All the Remote TEMS pointing to this HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address or hostname

d. All the agents reporting to this HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address/hostname including warehouse proxy and Summarization and Pruning agents

e. If your site is using firewall and Network address translation, you must reconfigure the TEMS to take care of the network address translation using implementation with partition file or correct the HUB TEMS address manually in the partition.txt file

More information about implementation with partition file, refer to the Administrator guide

f. if the HUB TEMS is configured to handle SOAP request, the soap server must be configured to handle new ip address or host name or the kshxhubs file must be updated manually with the new HUB TEMS ip address.

For more information, refer to the URL below for errors received during the taccmd logon process:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21405770

g. if you have TEC or Omnibus installed and support event synchronization for sending synchronization events to the monitoring server, the product must be reconfigured to reflect the new IP address or the hostname of the HUB monitoring server


Where Remote TEMS is active

a. The Remote TEMS must be reconfigured to the new ip address/hostname

b. All the agents pointing to this Remote TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address/hostname

c. If your site is using firewall and Network address translation, you must reconfigure the TEMS to take care of the network address translation using implementation with partition file or correct the HUB TEMS address manually in the partition.txt file

More information about implementation with partition file, refer to the Administrator guide

Where TEPS is active

a. Reconfigure the TEPS to use the new ip address/hostname

b. Follow the below technote to change the DB2 configuration if the DB2 database is in the TEPS server

Where agent is active

a. Nothing needs to be done

Preserving user defined customization

Preserving user defined customization: "How to preserve the user defined customization?"

Question
How to preserve the user defined customization?

Answer
Here are few steps you could use to preserve the user defined customization.

1. Use Migrate export and migrate import command to preserve a copy of the TEPS database including users, custom navigators, custom workspaces, custom queries, application support etc..

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itm.doc/itm_admin_62151.htm

2. Use tacmd bulkExportSit and bulkImportSit command to export all the available situations from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server

3. Use tacmd bulkExportPcy and bulkImportPcy command to export all the available policies from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

4. Use tacmd viewsystemlist command to view the configuration of a managed system list or save it to a file.

5. Use tacmd viewsit command to view the definition of a situation or save it to a file. This command is used to save a single situation as opposed to saving all situations using bulkexportsit

How to Change the ITM Encryption Key

The ITM encryption key defined on the Hub TEMS must be entered during the installation of all agents to enable those agents to connect to the Hub TEMS. That encryption key cannot be configured outside of the agent installations.

If an incorrect key was entered during the installation, or migrating between TEMS with different keys, it is possible to update the key without having to reinstall the agent. The file $ITMHOME/keyfiles/kae256.ser can be copied from another agent that has the correct encryption key configured.

This technique is useful for the AIX Base agents that may have been pre-installed on the servers.
