For a Summarization and Pruning Agent to
run without connecting to a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
it must be configured to run autonomously and it must be able to locate
the application support files for the monitoring agents.
About this task
To configure a
Summarization and Pruning Agent to
run in autonomous mode, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- If you have not already installed done so, install a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
and add application support for all types of monitoring agents that
will be collecting historical data.
- Install and configure Summarization and Pruning Agent following
the instructions in the appropriate chapter:
- If the Summarization and Pruning Agent is
not installed on the same machine as the portal server,
copy the required application support files to the
machine on which the Summarization and Pruning agent resides.
These files are named dockpc, where pc is
the two-letter product code for the monitoring agent (see IBM Tivoli product, platform, and component codes).
The files are located
in install_dir\cnps directory; on The
files are located in the installdir/arch/cq/data directory.
By
default, the Summarization and Pruning Agent looks
for the ODI files in the install_dir\TMAITM6 directory
(on Windows) or the install_dir/arch/cq/data directory
(on UNIX and Linux). If you do not create this directory
and copy the files to it, you must add the KSY_AUTONOMOUS_ODI_DIR variable
to the Summarization and Pruning Agent environment
file and specify the alternative location.
Note: There
is no need to copy the
dockcj file; it is not used
when reconfiguring the
Summarization and Pruning Agent.
If you do copy this file, the following error will occur and can be
ignored.
Validation failed: Column name exceeds 10 characters: ACKNOWLEDGED.
ODI File contents not loaded: /install_dir/dockcj
- On the machine where the Summarization and Pruning Agent is
installed, open its environment file in a text editor:
- install_dir\TMAITM6\KSYENV
- install_dir/config/sy.ini
- Edit the following variables:
- To enable the Summarization and Pruning Agent to run without connecting
to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server,
set KSY_AUTONOMOUS=Y.
- If you did not install the application support files in the default
directory (see step 3), set KSY_AUTONOMOUS_ODI_DIR=<alternative
location of application support files>.
- Restart the Summarization and Pruning Agent agent.
The WAREHOUSESUMPRUNE table is automatically created when the Summarization and Pruning Agent is
started.
- If you are upgrading from a previous version and already
have summarization and pruning settings stored in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server database,
restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
The first time the portal server is
started after the WAREHOUSESUMPRUNE table has been created, any previously
existing data collection and summarization and pruning configuration
settings are migrated to the WAREHOUSESUMPRUNE table in the warehouse
data base. Subsequently, any settings configured using the portal server are
stored directly in the warehouse.
