7. Post installation
7.1 WebSphere Message Broker monitoring agent
7.1.1 Additional configuration required if the WebSphere Message Broker agent is upgrade from V7.3 GA to V7.3 FP3
If you already installed the WebSphere Message Broker agent of V7.3 GA and have enabled historical data for Message flow status,
complete the following steps after the agent is upgrade to V7.3 FP3.
(1) Ensure you have upgraded application support files on Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
(2) Stop the WebSphere Message Broker monitoring agent if it is running.
(3) Remove the following local historical data files:
Linux or UNIX:
<agent_install_path>/<arch_code>/qi/hist/<AgentId>/KQITMFLS*
Windows:
32-bit agent: <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6\logs\History\KQI\<instance ID>\KQITMFLS*
64-bit agent: <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6_x64\logs\History\KQI\<instance ID>\KQITMFLS*
(4) If you upgraded the agent from V7.3 GA to V7.3 FP2 and historical data collection is enabled for the Message
Flow Status table, check the Message_Flow_Status table and any other related summarization tables
(Message_Flow_Status with suffix such as _H, _D, _Y, _Q, _M, _W) in your warehouse database.
If the length value of the DFMF_SAOF and DFMF_SSOF columns is 24, change it to 12 by doing one of the following steps:
-- Drop the table and allow WPA to rebuild it with correct column definitions.
-- Manually perform ALTER COLUMN for DFMF_SAOF and DFMF_SSOF to specify a length of 12.
(2) Stop the WebSphere Message Broker monitoring agent if it is running.
(3) Remove the following local historical data files:
Linux or UNIX:
<agent_install_path>/<arch_code>/qi/hist/<AgentId>/KQITMFLS*
Windows:
32-bit agent: <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6\logs\History\KQI\<instance ID>\KQITMFLS*
64-bit agent: <ITM_HOME>\TMAITM6_x64\logs\History\KQI\<instance ID>\KQITMFLS*
(4) If you upgraded the agent from V7.3 GA to V7.3 FP2 and historical data collection is enabled for the Message
Flow Status table, check the Message_Flow_Status table and any other related summarization tables
(Message_Flow_Status with suffix such as _H, _D, _Y, _Q, _M, _W) in your warehouse database.
If the length value of the DFMF_SAOF and DFMF_SSOF columns is 24, change it to 12 by doing one of the following steps:
-- Drop the table and allow WPA to rebuild it with correct column definitions.
-- Manually perform ALTER COLUMN for DFMF_SAOF and DFMF_SSOF to specify a length of 12.
