NUGGETS: How to know when the TEMS and TEPS have fully started
Body
As normal, I like to blog about areas of ITM that I cover when working with you, either through PMRs or direct on customer site.
Today's series topics is on how to check that the core ITM components have fully started and are operational
Many of you have downtime for maintenance, or perform DR testing and need a way to check that components have fully started after the work item is completed.
The below steps will show you how to check the core components logs and verify the component is fully operational again.
How to check the TEPS has started
To check the TEPS has started and is fully initialised you need to check the TEPS RAS1 logs.
The TEPS writes the following message to its RAS1 log to indicate that initialization is complete:
KFW1020I ********* Waiting for requests. Startup complete ********
Which log should you check?
On Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems, the filename is of the form host
pc is the product code,
tttttttt is the Unix time, or POSIX time in hexadecimal when the component opened the log file
nn is the log file sequence number.
For the TEPS the product code is "cq"
Log Locations:
Windows: Install_Dir\logs
Unix/Linux: Install_Dir/logs
NOTE: The default paths for install_dir are C:\Program Files\IBM on Windows and /opt/ibm/ on Linux of UNIX
How to check the TEMS has started
To check the TEMS has started and is fully initialised, you need to check the TEMS MSG2 logs (also known as the TEMS operations log).
The TEMS writes the following message to its MSG2 log to indicate that initialization is complete.
KO4SRV032 Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) startup complete.
Which log should you check?
UNIX/Linux: The filename is of the form host
I have seen customers set up log file agents to scrape the logs for this message, as part of a self built checking system when they bring up the core components.
