Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

How to Discover WebSphere Topology by JMX
DFM first finds WebSphere servers based on either SOAP or RMI authentication and then discovers the WebSphere J2EE environment and components.
This task describes how to discover WebSphere connections by JMX, and includes the following steps:
-
Prerequisite - Set up protocol credentials
This discovery is based on the JMX protocol using credentials from the WebSphere protocol. WebSphere protocol credentials must be defined.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
-
Prerequisite - Set up drivers
Set up the drivers needed to discover WebSphere. Default WebSphere drivers are included by default with the Probe installation.
The Probe installation includes WebSphere drivers for versions 5 and 6, but you can use your own drivers, if you prefer. However, you can use only drivers that work with a supported version. For details on supported versions, see Discovered Applications.
To update the .jar files:
-
Copy the drivers to the correct version folder in the following location:
C:\hp\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\runtime\probeManager
\discoveryResources\j2ee\websphere\<version_folder>For example,
C:\hp\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\runtime\probeManager
\discoveryResources\j2ee\websphere\5.x -
Restart the Probe before running the DFM jobs.
-
-
Update the .jar files
-
Copy the following files from a WebSphere 8.x application server:
- <WebSphere root folder>\AppServer\runtimes\com.ibm.ws.orb_8.x.0.jar
- <WebSphere root folder>\AppServer\runtimes\com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient_8.x.0.jar
- <WebSphere root folder>\AppServer\runtimes\com.ibm.ws.admin.client_8.x.0.jar
- <WebSphere root folder>\AppServer\deploytool\itp\plugins\
<com.ibm.websphere.v8_....>\wasJars\ibmpkcs.jar - <WebSphere root folder>\AppServer\deploytool\itp\plugins\
<com.ibm.websphere.v8_....>\wasJars\ibmkeycert.jar -
<WebSphere root folder\AppServer\deploytool\itp\plugins\
<com.ibm.websphere.v8_....>\wasJars\ibmjceprovider.jarwhere <WebSphere root folder> is the folder where you installed WebSphere.
- Stop the Data Flow Probe.
-
Back up all of the files in <DataFlowProbe root folder>\runtime\probeManager\discoveryResources\j2ee\websphere\ except UCMDB_store.jks.
where <DataFlowProbe root folder> is the folder where you installed the Data Flow Probe.
- Delete all files from <DataFlowProbe root folder>\runtime\probeManager\discoveryResources\j2ee\websphere\ except UCMDB_store.jks.
- Put all of the files you copied in step a in the following location on the Data Flow Probe: <DataFlowProbe root folder>\runtime\probeManager\discoveryResources\j2ee\websphere
- Restart the Data Flow Probe.
-
-
Run the discovery
Run the following jobs in the following order:
For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
-
Run the Range IPs by ICMP job to discover the target IPs.
-
Run the JEE TCP Ports job to discover service endpoint information. For job details, see JEE TCP Ports Job.
-
Run the JEE WebSphere Connections by JMX job to perform a shallow discovery of application servers. For job details, see JEE WebSphere Connections by JMX Job.
-
Run the JEE WebSphere by Shell or JMX job to perform a deep discovery of application server topology. For job details, see JEE WebSphere by Shell or JMX Job.
