Build TEPS Database utility
About this task
You can use this utility to build a blank database. Prior to the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring v6.1 release, this utility would also populate the database with tables.
Now, it is necessary to also run the BuildPresentation utility to build the tables in
the database.
To build and populate a database, complete the following steps:
1. From the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, right-click
TEPS
.
2. Select Advanced > Utilities > Build TEPS Database .
3.
Run the
BuildPresentation.bat
file found in
install_dir\CNPS
.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Operations Logging
You can use this logging facility to determine the cause of IBM Tivoli Monitoring
problems. IBM Tivoli Monitoring Operations Logging replaces MSG2 logging. With
MSG2 logging, physical space problems can occur due to MSG2 logs that grow
without bound until a process is stopped. IBM Tivoli Monitoring Operations
Logging enables you to configure log file management to avoid these problems.
Note:
This functionality is not supported for agents. It is only supported for the
log messages produced through the MSG2 facility as used by the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
Windows and UNIX systems
The new optional logs replace the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server log files
\install_dir\cms\kdsmain.msg
on Windows systems and
install_dir/logs/
hostname_ms_timestamp.log
on UNIX-based systems. For the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server, they replace the
\install_dir\logs\ kfwservices.msg
file on
Windows systems and the
install_dir/logs/kfwservices.msg
file on UNIX-based
systems.
To use the new logging facility for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, modify
the
\install_dir\cms\KBBENV
file on Windows systems or the
install_dir/config/
hostname_ms_TEMS ID.config
file and
install_dir/config/kbbenv.ini
file on
UNIX-based systems. Add the following line to the file:
MSG_MODE=kms
To disable the new logging facility and return to original logging, either remove
this line in the file or change it to:
MSG_MODE=MSG2
To use the new logging facility for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, modify the
\install_dir\cnps\kfwenv file on Windows systems, or the install_dir/config/
cq.ini
file on UNIX-based systems. Add the following line to the file:
MSG_MODE=kcq
To disable the new logging facility and return to original logging, either remove
this line from the file or change it to:
MSG_MODE=MSG2
