Objective

To test a resource model that retrieves its data from a Java provider so you can identify and correct problems.

Background information

After creating a resource model that retrieves its data from a Java data provider, you can test it in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder. Note that testing only works if the Java data provider can run on Windows and has a MOF file that is compatible with WMI.

Before you begin

Make sure the MOF file for your Java provider is compiled into the WMI repository. If the MOF file is not correctly registered in WMI, a warning appears in the Tasks view.

When you finish

None

Procedure

  1. Copy the Java provider jars and any other supporting files to the following directory:
    <RMBInstallDir>\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.tivoli.monitoring_1.1.0\Lcfnew\
    Itm\Pacs\<Category>

    where:

    <RMBInstallDir>
    The directory into which you installed the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.
    <Category>
    The internal category name of the resource model you are testing.
  2. (Optional) If your resource model (or the data provider that your resource model uses) relies on context information, you can insert calls to the following Service Object method in the Init section of the decision tree to set this information.
    void setPropertyContext(String key, String value)
    Note:
    Only use this method during testing in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.
  3. Run the resource model by clicking the Run icon (right-arrow icon, shown below) from the menu bar to start testing.
  4. (Optional) Verify that indications and events are being sent as configured through the RMB Indication Viewer and RMB Event Viewer views.
