Configuring the SPM Agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x

To monitor the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x assets, enable the SPM agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x and start the SPM server using the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x schema.

Note: TIBCO Service Performance Manager Agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x needs TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.2 along with the latest hotfix to be installed. The Agent is installed as a plugin, as part of the installation of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.2 latest hotfix.

Procedure

  1. Create the SPM schema for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x as follows:
    1. Copy the BW_6_Schema.xml file from the <SPM_HOME>/adapters/liveview/lv-examples/BW_6.2 folder to <SPM_HOME>/config.
    2. Generate the database scripts using the DDL generator for the above schema and create tables in database. See the section 'Generating Service Performance Manager Database Schema' in TIBCO® Service Performance Manager Installation and Configuration .
    3. Start the Service Performance Manager Server.
    4. Start the database.
    5. Start Service Performance Manager Dashboard.
  2. Enable the SPM agent for AMX BW 6 at the AppSpace or AppNode level from the TIBCO_HOME of the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x:
    1. Copy the existing AppSpace config.ini file (located in the root of the AppSpace folder), or the AppSpace config.ini template file appspace_config.ini_template (located in TIBCO_HOME/bw/6.x/config/) to a temporary location (for example, C:\temp\config.ini). This is a common configuration properties file for the governance library available in the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x AppSpace.
    2. Edit the bw.governance.spm.enabled property to true in the file to enable the SPM agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x. Default value is false. The property can be set at the AppSpace as well as AppNode level.
      bw.governance.spm.enabled=true
    3. Configure other Service Performance Manager related properties in the config.ini file (if required). Each property has a default value and needs configuration, only if the fine tuning is required. See The SPM Agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x Configuration Properties for more details on the properties.
    4. Use one of the following config admin command to push the configuration to the AppSpace or the AppNode:
      • AppSpace:
        bwadmin[admin] > config -d myDomain -a myAppSpace -cf 
        				<temporaryLocation>/config.ini
      • AppNode:
        bwadmin[admin] > config -d myDomain -a myAppNode -cf 
        				<temporaryLocation>/config.ini
    Restart the AppSpace or AppNode after applying the configuration to the AppSpace or AppNode respectively.

Result

The SPM agent for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x is now started. The agent now publishes events generated by the activities executed in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x to the SPM server.
