If
global security is not enabled, skip to step 9 Do you want to retrieve security settings from a client properties file
(soap.client.props or sas.client.props)?
[1 - YES, 2 - NO] [default is: 2]:
The data collector communicates with the WebSphere Administrative Services using the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) or the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) protocol. If global security is enabled for a profile, you must specify the user ID and password of a user who is authorized to log in to the IBM® WebSphere Application Server administrative console for the profile. Alternatively, you can encrypt the user name and password and store them in client properties files before configuring the data collector. You must use the sas.client.props file for an RMI connection, or the soap.client.props file for an SOAP connection.
Enter WebSphere admin user name:

Do you want to integrate with an ITCAM for SOA Agent? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
You must install and configure the ITCAM for SOA Agent and its application support files, and optionally configure topology support to complete the installation and configuration of the ITCAM for SOA agent. For more information about installing and configuring the ITCAM for SOA Agent, see IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA Installation Guide.
Enter 1 to integrate the data collector with the ITCAM for SOA Agent. Otherwise, enter 2.
When configuring data collection for ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications, you can integrate the data collector with the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications monitoring agent, or with the ITCAM for Application Diagnostics Managing Server, or with both.
Do you want to integrate with an ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications?
[1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
You must install and configure ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications and its application support files to complete the installation and configuration of ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications. For more information about installing and configuring ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications, see IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Agent for WebSphere Applications Installation and Configuration Guide.
You are prompted to enter the host name of ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications.

WebSphere Applications TEMA:
[default is: 127.0.0.1]:
Enter the port number of the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Application TEMA:
[default is: 63335]:
You can change the port that is used for communication between the data collector and the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications monitoring agent. This communication is on the local host; the default port is 63335. You can change the port at a later time, but it is most convenient to set it when initially configuring the data collector.
Do you want to integrate with an MS? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
Enter the host name or IP address of the MS
[default is: 127.0.0.1]:
Enter the code base port number of the MS
[default is: 9122]:
The port number is codebase port on which the managing server is listening.
MS home directory is: C:\IBM\itcam\WebSphere\MS
Enter ITCAM Managing Server install directory
[default is C:\IBM\itcam\WebSphere\MS]:
If
prompted, enter the value of the managing server home directory.
Do you want to configure advanced settings for the MS? [1 - Yes, 2 - No]
[default is: 2]:
Enter 1 to configure
advanced settings. Otherwise, enter 2 and skip
to step 24.Enter the RMI port numbers [default is: 8200-8299]:
Enter the RMI port numbers.
Enter the range of Controller RMI port numbers
[default is: 8300-8399]:
Enter the RMI Controller port numbers.
Enter the RFS port number of the MS: [default is: 9120]:
The RFS server in the managing server kernel listens to the RFS port to accept incoming requests. Enter the RFS port number.
Do you want to integrate with ITCAM for TT? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
After you configure the data collector to support ITCAM for Transactions, you must perform some additional configuration. For details of further configuration options and how to view the aggregated transaction information, see IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for WebSphere Applications Configuring and Using TTAPI.
Enter the host name or IP address for the Transaction Collector:
[default is: 127.0.0.1]:
Enter the port number for the Transaction Collector:
[default is: 5455]:
Do you want to integrate with Tivoli Performance Viewer? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]
ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server version 7.2 can be used to monitor the performance of the WebSphere Application Server. Performance monitoring infrastructure (PMI) metrics are gathered using ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere and are displayed in the Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV). The TPV is accessible from the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server is installed separately from the WebSphere Application Server. For information about using ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server, see IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere Application Server version 7.2 Support for WebSphere Application Server version 8.5 Installation and User Guide.
ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server 7.2 support for WebSphere Application Server 8.5 includes ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere. Enter 1 to integrate ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere with the Tivoli Performance Viewer. Otherwise, enter 2.
Do you want to integrate with ITCAM diagnostics tool? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
The ITCAM Diagnostics Tool is built on Eclipse. The tool is used for diagnostic investigation of applications that are running on the WebSphere Application Server. Using this tool, you can analyze data in real time or you can save diagnostic information to a file for later analysis. For information about using the ITCAM Diagnostics Tool, see ITCAM Diagnostic Tool Installation Guide.
Enter 1 to integrate ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere with the ITCAM Diagnostics Tool. Otherwise, enter 2.
Do you want to specify a Garbage Collection log path? [1 - YES, 2 - NO]
[default is: 2]:
Enter 1 to select
a garbage collection log path. Otherwise, enter 2 and
skip to step 34.Enter the GC log path:
Enter
a file name with its full path. The data collector automatically modifies
the log file name, adding the server instance information to it. For
example, if you specify gc.log as the file name,
the actual name is set to profile_name.cell_name.node_name.server_name.gc.log for
every configured application server instance. 1) List of servers selected
