Configuration property files

The IBM IIB/ACE Monitoring Extension supports the following configuration files:

• org.ops4j.pax.logging.properties
• framework.props
• wrapper.conf and wrapper.service.conf (Windows only)

To edit the text file org.ops4j.pax.logging.properties

If the defaults are not suitable for your environment, edit this file to adjust logging settings.

1. Locate the file in qpwmb\configuration\services and open it in a text editor.
2. Follow the comments in this file to adjust the logging settings or contact BMC Customer Support for information about how to adjust logging settings. For example, to enable logging on debug level for troubleshooting the extension, set the following:
   
   log4j.logger.com.bmc.mmpa.wmb=debug
   
   Supported values are trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal. See log4j documentation for more information.

To edit the text file framework.props

If the defaults are not suitable for your environment, edit this file to configure general properties of the monitoring extension such as the monitoring extension's SampleInterval or whether or not the monitoring extension should support the SampleInterval attribute for enabling MODE3 compression.

1. Locate the file in qpwmb and open it in a text editor.

2. Follow the comments in this file to adjust the logging settings or contact BMC Customer Support for information about how to configure general properties.

   Note

   The SampleInterval controls the interval at which the extension collects cmp-api data from the broker. The message flow statistics and resource statistics are published as they are received by the extension and are tied to the publishing interval controlled by the broker.

To edit the text files wrapper.conf and wrapper.service.conf (Windows only)

If the defaults are not suitable for your environment, edit this file to configure general properties of the IBM IIB/ACE extension.

1. Locate the file in qpwmb\configuration and open it in a text editor.

2. Follow the comments in this file to adjust general properties of the service wrapper application or contact BMC Customer Support for assistance. For example, to set the Java executable to be used by the extension at runtime, set the following:
   
   wrapper.java.command=<JRE_install_path>\bin\java.exe

   To avoid MQRC 2495 error messages in qpwmb.log, in a 64-bit environment, add lines for the java library path to ensure the 64-bit library appears first:
   wrapper.java.library.path.3=<MQ_INSTALL_PATH>\java\lib64
   wrapper.java.library.path.4=<MQ_INSTALL_PATH>\java\lib
