ITM 6.2 FP1 contains several new and changed T/EC class changes, ranging from new classes, new slots, and only ONE new slot (omnux_value replacing kux_value). **I have not seen an ITM event containing kux_value nor omnux_value, but to be safe, I added the old ‘kux_value’ slot to the kux.baroc file. TOTAL: 22 baroc files Baroc [...]
Hosting : Why does every visit to my website have the same IP address?
Reference: http://help.mosso.com/article.php?id=180 Your script is calling for the “REMOTE_ADDR” and receives the IP of a server in front of one of our back-end servers. The web facing server is then passing the scripts output without giving the expected REMOTE_ADDR of the visitor. In order for your scripts to recognize that they are on a cluster [...]
ITM6.2 : TEPS reconfigure overwrites kfwenv variable
Not all of them mind you, but some important ones none-the-less: KFW_STARTJVM=N KFW_USE_EMBEDDED=Y KFW_EWAS_SERVER_PID_FILE=C:\IBM\ITM\CNPSJ\profiles\ITMProfile\logs\ITMServer\ITMServer.pid KFW_EWAS_STARTSERVER_SCRIPT=C:\IBM\ITM\CNPSJ\profiles\ITMProfile\bin\startServer.bat KFW_EWAS_STOPSERVER_SCRIPT=C:\IBM\ITM\CNPSJ\profiles\ITMProfile\bin\stopServer.bat I verified the following by modifying all the variables in my %CANDLEHOME%\CNB\kfwenv file where numerical values like ports and max where incremented by one, and the string vlaues had _XXX_ inserted The modified kfwenv was backed up, then I [...]
ITM6 – MTEMS Hangs
This is a brain-dead situation, but I’ve been bit by the “ITM Connector” dialog box hiding behind the MTEMS configuration window. Anytime you reconfigure the TEPS (Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server) via MTEMS (Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring), sometimes that little box just hangs back there until you move the MTEMS window. Very innocuous problem that isn’t [...]
Parse Download Director dlmgr.pro
Rename ambigous files downloaded from passport advantage If you use the IBM Passport Advantage or PartnerWorld portal to download software, you no doubt want to have the filenames renamed to something more meaningful than the software part number. This script will rename files based on the parsed info in the dlmgr.pro file. Example jdsmedia@deantp1 /cygdrive/c/DownloadDirector [...]

Extract TAR files over SSH
Instead of copying a large tar file over ssh then extracting, take care of the whole process with one command: PUSH METHOD: cat tarfile | ssh –C user@remotehost “(cd targetdirectory && tar –xf -)” This will stream the tarfile over a compressed ssl tunnel and the other side will only extract if the target directory [...]
Linux Filesystem Usage “Trick”
Command: du (mneumonic: disk usage) How can one get the disk usage of a directory, but didn’t want the directories which are mountpoints of other filesystems… The disk usage calculation can be limited to the actual mounted partition with the -x flag. tivoli@tivdzl01:~> df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dg_system/lv_root 20564 11362 8158 59% / [...]
