In some cases the TEPS navigator will hang on the “more” nodes, I haven’t bothered trying to run down the how and why, I just want to see all child-nodes when I select a parent-node.

Here’s how you do it…

Add the following lines to the teps.jnlpt, then rebuild the teps.jnlp

<property name=”cnp.http.url.host” value=”$HOST$”/>
<property name=”cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize” value=”1000″/>
<property name=”cnp.navigator.branch.threshold” value=”500″/>

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 reconfigured the TEPS and ran a diff on both files, and the above variables are the resulting default values.

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 really a problem, just an annoyance.

Tivoli MTEMS not responding or hangs

In order for clients to access to TEPS upgraded to ITM6.2 for the first time, they’ll need to have the IBM JRE 1.5 installed on their system.

It’s a very straightforward process, but if you need some guidance, the steps are outlined below. Read the rest of this entry »
