Configuring the environment manually

You should always use the IBM® Business Monitor configuration wizard or deployment environment configuration wizard to configure the IBM Business Monitor environment. This manual information is included to help in advanced or troubleshooting scenarios.

Configuring the event emitter factory for IBM Business Monitor for z/OS
IBM Business Monitor uses an outbound CEI event service to create and send events. The event service in turn uses an event emitter factory that requires configuration. The preferred way to install the event emitter factory is to use the IBM Business Monitor configuration wizard, the deployment environment configuration wizard, or the wsadmin task. It is also possible to configure the event emitter factory manually.
Installing the IBM Business Monitor action services application
The IBM Business Monitor action services application invokes actions, such as sending dashboard alerts or email notifications, when it receives defined situation events emitted by IBM Business Monitor and other applications. Situation events typically indicate business situations that need attention, such as a printer running out of paper or a metric exceeding a certain value.
Creating the Monitor action services group profile
After you have installed the Monitor action services application, you must create an event group profile to receive events.
Installing Monitor scheduled services
The Monitor scheduled services application supports multiple services, some of which optimize performance or are used for base processing. You can configure it on the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console. You must install this application to schedule recurring services, such as the data movement service and the key performance indicator (KPI) history for monitor models.
Installing dashboards for mobile devices
You can use IBM Business Monitor dashboards on mobile devices. You must install the application using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
Installing event emitter services
You can manually install the event emitter services that you use with IBM Business Monitor. Before manually installing event emitter services, you must first create resources for the event emitter services.
