Configuring the agent on IBM i systems

An overview on how to configure the agent on IBM i systems.

The configuration settings of the agent are contained in the JobManager.ini file and in the JobManagerGW.ini file (for the path of these files, see Installation paths).

The configuration files are made up of many different sections. Each section name is enclosed between square brackets and each section includes a sequence of variable = value statements.

You can customize properties for the following:
  • Log properties
  • Trace properties when the agent is stopped. You can also customize traces when the agent is running using the procedure described in Configuring trace properties when the agent is running.
  • Native job executor
  • Java job executor
  • Resource advisor agent
  • System scanner
On IBM i systems, the log messages are written in the following file:
TWA_DATA_DIR>/stdlist/JM/JObManager_message.log
On IBM i systems, the trace messages are written in the following files:
<TWA_DATA_DIR>/TWS/stdlist/JM/ITA_trace.log
<TWA_DATA_DIR>/TWS/stdlist/JM/JobManager_trace.log
<TWA_DATA_DIR>/TWS/stdlist/JM/javaExecutor0.log
Note: In the JobManager.ini file and in the JobManagerGW.ini file you must refer to Java 64 bit version.
