Making the CandleMonitor node available in 64-bit broker environments on Windows systems

About this task

If the broker is 64-bit on a Windows system, do the following steps to install the CandleMonitor node in the broker environment:

Procedure

  1. Verify that the kqipnode64.lil, kbb.dll, klx.dll, and krwnt.dll files were copied to the bin directory of the broker during the installation of WebSphere® Message Broker Monitoring agent. If the files were not copied to the bin directory of the broker during installation, do it now by performing the following steps:
    1. Stop the broker.
    2. Copy the kqipnode64.lil, kbb.dll, klx.dll, and krwnt.dll files from the install_dir\TMAITM6\kqipnode64 directory (for 32-bit agent) or from the install_dir\TMAITM6_x64\kqipnode64 directory (for 64-bit agent) to the bin directory of the broker, where install_dir is the agent installation directory.
    Tip: This is an example of a typical bin location: C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\7.0\bin.
  2. Verify that the kqipnode64.lil file in the bin directory of the broker exactly matches (in size, date, and the time last modified) the one that is in the kqipnode64 directory.
    Important: A mismatch of the release-level of these files can cause a failure of the broker statistics and message flow events reporting.
  3. Check if Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is installed on your system. If not, install it now.
    1. Log on the Windows system.
    2. Click Start > Administrative Tools.
    3. Click Server Manager.
    4. In the Server Manager window, click Features on the left navigation pane.
    5. On the right side of the window, click Add Features.
    6. In the Select Features window, select .NET Framework 3.5 Features and click Install.
  4. Start the broker again.
  5. Repeat step 1 to step 4 for each Windows system with a broker to be monitored.

Results

The CandleMonitor node is now installed in your broker environment.
Remember: Before you can use the CandleMonitor node to monitor message flows, it must also be made available in the Message Brokers Toolkit. For instructions, see Making the CandleMonitor node available in Message Brokers Toolkit.
