Configuring ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere MQ

If you have configured the ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere® MQ during installation, you do not have to reconfigure it for a second time and can start using the agent. Otherwise, you must configure the agent now.

1. Click Start > Programs > IBM Tivoli Monitoring > Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services to open the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window.
2. From the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, right-click WebSphere MQ Configuration Agent and click Configure using defaults.
3. To accept existing communications settings, click OK on the two configuration windows that appear; or make any required changes on these windows, and then click OK.
4. You are prompted to edit the kmcenv_instance parameter file, where instance is the agent instance name of the ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere MQ (The parameter file of the primary agent is named kmcenv).
   • If you want to accept the default parameters and use the agent to configure all queue managers on your system, do not edit the parameter file. Click No.
   • If you want to configure the agent to run in a clustering environment, perform the following procedure:
   1. Click Yes.
   2. Edit the parameters as required, then save and close the file.

      For information about how to configure the agent to run in a clustering environment, see the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Configuration Agent for WebSphere MQ User's Guide.

   3. Click Yes to configure the agent.
   You are returned to the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window.
