Description
Use the tacmd refreshCatalog command to update
the catalog file and refresh affinity information. This command allows
the data server to reread the catalog files; therefore, it eliminates
the need for a Tivoli® Enterprise
Monitoring Server recycle after support files are installed. Attribute
files, however, are not reread, and Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server processing will not process this data from the agent
correctly. In most cases, a Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server recycle is required after product seeding.
The
refreshCatalog command updates the catalog
file and refreshes the affinity information on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to which it
connected. Use
-s|--server option to update
the catalog files and refresh affinity information on a remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server. If the corresponding attribute file is manually deployed along
with the catalog member the refresh catalog is intended for, then IBM® Tivoli Monitoring
based situations are expected to work. However, the following items
still require a recycle of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server:
- OMEGAMON® Tivoli Event Adapter forwarding
- Data warehousing
- Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) requests
You must log in by using the login command
before running the refreshcatalog command.
CLI syntax
tacmd refreshCatalog [{-s|--server} TEMSNAME]
where:
- -s|--server
- Specify a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server name where
the catalog file needs to be updated and affinity information needs
to be refreshed. When this option is not specified, it operates against
the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server into which the tacmd is logged.
CLI example
This example updates the catalog file on the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server into which the tacmd command is
logged.
tacmd refreshCatalog
This example updates the catalog file on the remote Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server “REMOTE_LEVER2”.
tacmd refreshCatalog -s REMOTE_LEVER2
