  1. Troubleshooting Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Tivoli User Group Singapore 15 December 2009

  2. Agenda • How do ITM components talk to each other? • TEPS demystified • Troubleshooting TEPS • References

  3. ITM components communication

  4. TEPS/TEP Client Communication Flow • HTTP connection is used by TEP browser to download JAR files and resources files that will be used by TEP client to communicate. • HTTP server is, by default, installed in TEPS. • IIOP CORBA layer is used by the client code to connect to TEP server. • TEPS communicates with TEMS using RPC method. • TEPS uses ODBC for Windows and DB2 client for Linux to communicate with the database. • URL for browser: http://<TEPS>:1920///CNP/client

  5. TEP Browser Client Communication Flow • If IBM JRE 1.4.2 is not found, it would be downloaded and installed. • applet.html consists of OBJECT tag reference which instruct JRE to download JAR and reference files. • JAR and reference files are placed in the local cache and if the new version is available, it will be replaced automatically. • When java applet login is launched, no communication is made to TEP server yet. • Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) is downloaded through HTTP. Login method is invoked based on that reference.

  6. TEPS log RAS1 header • Sample of TEPS RAS1 header • 44B2C257.0000!========================> IBM Tivoli RAS1 Service Log <======================== • +44B2C257.0000 System Name: SCHAEFRO Process ID: 3536 • +44B2C257.0000 Program Name: kfwservices User Name: SYSTEM • +44B2C257.0000 Task Name: kfwservices System Type: WinXP;5.1-SP1 • +44B2C257.0000 MAC1_ENV Macro: 0xC112 Start Date: 2006/07/10 • +44B2C257.0000 Start Time: 14:10:47 CPU Count: 1 • +44B2C257.0000 Page Size: 4K Phys Memory: 2047M • +44B2C257.0000 Virt Memory: 2048M Page Space: 3944M • +44B2C257.0000 Service Point: system.schaefro_cq UTC Start Time: 44b2c257 • +44B2C257.0000 ITM Home: C:\Candle ITM Process: schaefro_cq • +44B2C257.0000 Executable Name: C:\Candle\CNPS\kfwservices.exe • +44B2C257.0000 KBB_RAS1: ERROR ^>C:\Candle\cnps\logs\kfwras1.log • +44B2C257.0000 KBB_ENVPATH: C:\Candle\CNPS\KFWENV • +44B2C257.0000 • The ras1header contains useful information about the environment where the server is running. • Use the ras1 header for a quick environmental triage

  7. Using Tivoli Monitoring Service Index Console to set dynamic tracing

  8. Using Tivoli Monitoring Service Index Console to set dynamic tracing

  9. Advanced RAS1 Trace • To answer the question: Is the problem occurring in the TEPS? • ctdatabus unit is used to log all the detail request from TEP client • ctcmw and kv4 units are used to log node status, situation and EIB update events from TEMS. • ctsql is used to log raw SQL requests to TEMS, DB2 or ODBC and number of rows returned. • Use: KFW_DATABUS_INPUT_TRACE_IGNORE_HEARTBEAT=Y to suppress the heartbeat events in the log. Will greatly reduce the amount of logs. • Alternatively, KFW_DATABUS_INPUT_TRACE_FILTER=<service name> to log only the specified services.

  10. SQL Input Trace • (UNIT:ctsql INPUT,ERROR) • Dumps raw SQL generated by the TEPS • Identifies data source where the SQL query will be sent • Logs number of rows returned to the requesting client • Counts the number of queries sent to each data source

  11. SQL Input Trace • Examples: • HUB_TEMS(28): SELECT LOCALTIME.SYSTIME FROM O4SRV.LOCALTIME • HUB_TEMS(28): Rows returned: 1 • Parm Markered Request to TEMS: • HUB_TEMS(316): SELECT TSITSTSH.GBLTMSTMP, TSITSTSH.SITNAME,TSITSTSH.LCLTMSTMP, COUNT(TSITSTSH.TYPE) FROM O4SRV.TSITSTSH AT( '*HUB' ) WHERE ( (TSITSTSH.GBLTMSTMP >= ?) AND (TSITSTSH.GBLTMSTMP <= ?) ) AND ( (SUBSTR(TSITSTSH.LCLTMSTMP,13,3) = ?) OR (SUBSTR(TSITSTSH.LCLTMSTMP,13,3) = ?) ) AND (TSITSTSH.DELTASTAT = ?) GROUP BY TSITSTSH.SITNAME • HUB_TEMS(316): Values: '1060719172155000' '1060720172155000' '000' '999' 'Y‘ • HUB_TEMS(316): Rows returned: 12

  12. TEPS Input Traces • Typically, databus and SQL input traces will be set together • CMW input traces will be set together, but not required • Databus trace is not useful when combined with CMW trace because no client request directly drives the event channels • If left running for long periods of time, or if many clients are connected and being actively used, databus and SQL input traces will generate large amounts of data
