To enable Health Center monitoring of a WebSphere® Application Server test environment
in Rational® Application
Developer, use the administration console to change the configuration.
Prerequisite
The Health Center agent must be installed. See Installing the Health Center agent for more information about how
to install the agent before you start the WebSphere Application Server test environment
with monitoring enabled.
Procedure
To enable the Health Center for use with the WebSphere Application Server test environment
in Rational Application
Developer:
- Locate the Java™ Runtime
Environment (JRE) directory for the test environment runtime that
you want to monitor with the Health Center. For WebSphere Application Server v6.1 in Rational Application Developer
7.0 on a Microsoft® Windows® system, this directory
is typically C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70\runtimes\base_v61\java\jre.
- Copy the agent files into this directory.
- From the Rational Application
Developer console, select Servers and select
the test environment runtime that you want to start.
- Use the right mouse button to display a list of actions and select Start.
- From the Rational Application
Developer console, select Servers and select
the test environment runtime again.
- Use the right mouse button to display a list of actions and select Run
administrative console.
- When the admin console has started, locate and update the generic
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) arguments field by expanding .
- Next, expand .
- Add the correct string for your JVM version to the end of the Generic
JVM arguments field.
- Select Apply and Save.
- From the Rational Application
Developer console, select Servers and restart
the test environment runtime. Do this by using the right mouse button
to display a list of actions and select .
- Start the Health Center client.
- Connect to the system that is running the Rational Application Developer test environment
runtime. For more information about connecting, see Connecting to a Java application using the Health Center client.
- You can check that you have connected to the correct test environment
from the Health Center GUI. Select Environment to
see the environment perspective and select Java Virtual
Machine. The Java Home value
is the same as the JRE directory that you located in the first step.
