Default Parameters for IIBCICSStatTest

This test auto discovers the CICS Transaction servers integrated with the target IBM Integration Bus and reports the numerical statistics of the requests that were successfly and the requests that failed. Using this test administrators can identify the processing ability of the CICS Transaction server and be proactively alerted to processing bottlenecks, if any.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IIBCICSStatTest.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • Indicate where the JNDI namespace has been created from the JNDI NAMESPACE LOCATION list box. For this, select one of the following options: File or LDAP. Select File if the JNDI namespace is created in the same location as that of the IIB server.

  • If you have chosen LDAP as the JNDI NAMESPACE LOCATION wherein the LDAP server communicating with the IIB server that is to be monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. By default, this flag is set to No.

  • In the USERDN and PASSWORD text boxes, provide the credentials of the Active Directory user created as explained in the Monitoring IBM Integration Bus document, if the target IIB server is monitored in an agentless manner. If the IIB server is to be monitored in an agent based manner, specify none against these parameters.

  • Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Specify the URL that was specified as the provider URL while creating the initial context in the JNDI PRVIDER URL text box. To know the Provider URL (for both agent based and agentless monitoring of the IIB server), refer to the Monitoring IBM Integration Bus document.

  • Specify the name of the connection factory in the TOPIC CONNECTION FACTORY text box. To know the connection factory (for both agent based and agentless monitoring of the IIB server), refer to the Monitoring IBM Integration Bus document.

  • Specify the name of the JMS destination that you have created for storing the Resource statistics in the JMS RESOURCE STATS text box. To know the JMS destination name for storing Resource statistics (for both agent based and agentless monitoring of the IIB server), refer to the Monitoring IBM Integration Bus document.

  • Specify the name of the JMS destination that you have created for storing the Message flow statistics in the JMS FLOW STATS text box. To know the JMS destination name for storing Message flow statistics (for both agent based and agentless monitoring of the IIB server), refer to the Monitoring IBM Integration Bus document.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
