Configuring PGMs on the iSeries host

This topic provides information about configuring the iSeries binaries on the remote host. Before enabling monitoring of ASP, Interface, Message Queue, History Log, Scheduled Jobs, and Job Queue monitor types, ensure that these binaries are configured on the remote host. 

1. Log into the iSeries system. 

2. Delete the BMC_TSIM library that exists due to previous installations of the KM by using the following command:
   
   DLTLIB BMC_TSIM

3. Create the BMC_TSIM library on the iSeries system by using the following command:

   CRTLIB BMC_TSIM
   
   

4. Create SAVF_4100 save file under the BMC_TSIM library using the following command:
   
   CRTSAVF FILE(BMC_TSIM/SAVF_4100) TEXT('Contains BMC PGMs to be called remotely')

5. Copy the SAVF_4100 save file from %patrol_home%\akn directory to the iSeries system in the BMC_TSIM library by using the FTP utility in binary mode. The steps to copy the file are as follows:
   1. Open command prompt and navigate to the %patrol_home%\akn directory. 
   2. Enter ftp <iSeries hostname> command where <iSeries hostname> is the name of your iSeries system.
   3. Connect to the iSeries system by providing credentials
   4. Change mode to binary by using the bi command
   5. Navigate to BMC_TSIM library on iSeries system using the following command:
      
      cd BMC_TSIM
      
   6. Copy the SAVF_4100 save file using the following command:
      
      mput SAVF_4100
      
   7. End the FTP session by entering the following command:
      bye
      
      
6. Copy the BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh file from %patrol_home%\akn directory to the iSeries system in the /tmp directory by using the FTP utility in ASCII mode. The steps to copy the file are as follows:
   1. Open command prompt and navigate to the %patrol_home%\akn directory. 
   2. Enter ftp <iSeries hostname> command where <iSeries hostname> is the name of your iSeries system.
   3. Connect to the iSeries system by providing credentials
   4. Navigate to /tmp directory on iSeries system using the following command:
      cd /tmp
      
   5. Copy the BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh file using the following command:
      
      mput BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh
      
      
   6. End the FTP session by entering the following command:
      bye
      
      
7. Login to the iSeries system.
8. Open QSHELL on iSeries system using qsh command.

9. On qsh prompt, navigate to the IFS path /tmp where the BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh script is copied. Use the following command:

   cd /tmp
10. Ensure that /usr/bin path is set in the environment variable PATH.

    1.  To verify, enter the following command:

       echo $PATH

    2. If the environment variable PATH is not set, use the following command to set the PATH:

       export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

       (% style="line-height: 1.42857;" %)

11. Execute the BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh script. The script can be used as follows:

    ./BMC_TSIM_4_1_00.qsh
12. The configuration is complete when the script execution ends.
