Default Parameters for CogSystemTest

This test monitors the System Service and reports the current status of the service. This test also throws light on the number of system service requests that were processed and the count of requests that were processed successfully.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CogSystemTest test.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the IBM Cognos BI that is being monitored.

• In the JMX REMOTE PORT text box, specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured in the p2pd.deploy_defaults.properties file available in the <IBM_COGNOS_BI_HOME>\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF folder used by the target application server.

• By default, JMX requires no authentication or security (SSL). This is why, by default, the JMX USER and JMX PASSWORD Password parameters are set to none. If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the JMX User and JMX Password parameters are configured with the credentials of an authorized user with access to JMX using the JMX Remote Port. Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
