Before using the tool for the first time, complete the following
steps:
- Run the appropriate SQL script to create the USER_TAB_COLUMNS
view in the APM and MDIST2 databases. This task is not required for
Oracle databases. The following scripts are provided:
- create_db2_mvs_user_tab_columns.sql
- create_db2_user_tab_columns.sql
- create_infx_user_tab_columns.sql
- create_ms_sql_user_tab_columns.sql
- create_syb_user_tab_columns.sql
- In the EtcTivoli directory, create the configuration file wcfgplng.ini to contain the following parameters:
- TmpDir : Temporary directory
- WorkDir: The main working directory of the
tool
- WebBase: Directory in which the output HTML
reports are stored
- ExclusionList: The full path name of a file
containing a list of targets to be excluded from plan submissions.
- LogFile: The full path where the log file
for the tool is stored.
- LogLevel; Possible values are 0 (fatal errors),
1 (errors), 2 (warnings), 3 (information). 0 is the default.
- MailList: List of mail addresses for notifications.
- MailLevel: Possible values are 1 (high importance),
2 (normal). 1 is the default.
- MailHost: For Windows® only,
the host name of the mail server.
- HTTPBase: Link to the location on the HTTP
server to which the reports will be transferred.
Note:
The
HTML reports must be transferred from the WebBase directory
to the HTTPBase after each iteration of the
reporting script. You can avoid this task by directly mapping the
directory to the managed node where the script is run or by configuring
the managed node as an HTTP server.
- ActivityDelimiter: A character that is used
in the definition of an activity plan to separate the name of the
activity to be performed from the name of the software package. The
default is %.
- SWDPackageCheck: Indicates whether the plan
group creation script should check the existence of software packages
specified in the script parameters. The values F, f, N, n,
and 0 indicate that no check should be made.
Any other value indicates that the check should be made.
- ActiveLimit: The maximum number of activities
that can be current at any one time. The script that submits and tracks
activity plan groups considers this limit when submitting the activities
included in the plans.
- UnavailAsActive: This can be set to false
(the default), which can be indicated as F, f, N, n,
or 0, or true, which can be indicated as T, t, Y, y, or 1.
This parameter
is used by the submission and tracking script when it determines whether
submitting an activity will cause the ActiveLimit to
be exceeded. If the parameter is set to false, any activities that
have been submitted and not yet completed on targets that are either
unavailable or interrupted are not included in the number of current
activities. For example, ActiveLimit is set
to 100 and 90 submitted activities have not yet completed of which
10 are on targets that are not available. In such a scenario, if this
parameter is set to false, a maximum of 20 activities can be submitted
by the script, while if this parameter is set to true only 10 can
be submitted.
- In the directory specified as WorkDir, create
the subdirectories cfg and Targets.
- If required, create a file containing the list of targets to be
excluded from plan submissions and save it with the path name specified
in the ExclusionList parameter.
