236 Tivoli Business Systems Manager Version 2.1: End-to-End Business Impact Management
To implement the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager object that relates to a
Tivoli Distributed Monitoring profile, the following steps have to be executed:
1. Create a monitoring profile with a Classic DM monitor (SentryProfiles) using
any monitors that conform to the DM monitors. Define an action to send the
result to TEC for each level of monitoring that you want, with at least one for
the error condition and one for the resolution that will inform you that the
change of status occurred. For example, we send one for the CRITICAL
status and one for the HARMLESS status.
More information about this can be found in the Tivoli Distributed Monitoring
manual
Tivoli Distributed Monitoring Version 3.7 Users Guide
, GC31-8382.
2. Define the monitoring collection to IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager. For
IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager to recognize a forwarded DM event,
you must define its underlying data structure. The gemdmmap command
facilitates the association of a DM profile with an IBM Tivoli Business Systems
Manager object class. This command must be executed on the database
server machine. It also creates the software component if it has not been
created. Our command to create the DM profile association is
gemdmmap.sh -S ibmtiv5 -U sa -P XXXX -i -D ‘ClassicSentryProfile’ -m ‘DM’
-p ‘ClassicSentryProfile ‘ -v ‘1.0’
The command associates all events from a profile called ClassicSentryProfile
to a component in IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager. After this command
completes the association appears as shown in Example 7-12.
Example 7-12 List of associated DM profiles
C:>gemdmmap -S ibmtiv5 -U sa -P XXXX -l
gemsp_list_DMtoCID:
DM profile name Manufacturer Product Version DM only
-------------------- ------------ -------------------- ------- -------
ClassicSentryProfile DM ClassicSentryProfile 1.0 yes
To activate the database changes, you must restart several affected IBM
Tivoli Business Systems Manager services:
– Agent Listener
– Propagation Agent dispatcher
– Console Server
3. Create and associate icons to the application. The image file can be a BMP
file or a JPG file. We use the gemimageimport command to associate an icon
with a software component. The syntax of the gemimageimport is:
gemimageimport.sh -p product -v version [-l | -s] -i image_filename
