8.2.00 features
New features and changes
TMTM integration and licensing
In TrueSight Middleware and Transaction Monitor (TMTM) 8.1.00, the Configuration Manager has been dropped from the product. As a replacement, a restricted version of TSMA 8.2.00 called TrueSight Middleware Administrator (Monitor Edition) is now included with the TMTM 8.1.00 license. The Monitor Edition's functionality is restricted to comparable capabilities previously provided by the TMTM Configuration Manager.
Existing licenses for previous releases of TSMA remain valid, providing unchanged access to the full functionality of the product. With TSMA 8.2.00, the full version of TSMA can also integrate with TMTM 8.1.00.
Online documentation
TSMA 8.2 now provides online versions of the documentation as Wiki content that can easily be updated and commented on. As part of this effort, the PDF documentation has been removed from the installation.
Customizable login screen
TSMA now allows customization of the Web UI’s entry page by adding a custom image to the login screen. The Admin Console was enhanced to enable product administrators to upload and maintain a suitable image file and to associate it to the login screen so it is presented to users when logging into TSMA from their browser.
Refreshing IBM MQ queue managers
TSMA now allows refreshing an IBM MQ queue manager with respect to configuration events, expired messages or proxy subscriptions.
Starting and stopping IBM MQ queue managers
TSMA was enhanced to support the starting and stopping of queue managers remotely.
Switching IBM MQ cluster channels
TSMA now supports the switching of cluster channels for IBM MQ queue managers.
Displaying IBM MQ installation information
TSMA 8.2.00 enables users to retrieve information about the IBM MQ installations available on a remote host as provided by running IBM’s dspmqinst command.
Displaying IBM MQ version information
TSMA 8.2.00 enables users to retrieve IBM MQ version information for a remote queue manager as provided by IBM’s dspmqver command.
Displaying IBM MQ environment information
TSMA 8.2.00 now allows users to gather IBM MQ environment information for a remote queue manager as provided by IBM’s crtmqenv command.
Formatted view of PCF messages
