  • 1.  APM 9.7.1.16 Unable to create AutoProbeConnector.jar file for WAS 8.5.5

    Posted Feb 23, 2018 11:21 AM

    Hello,

    We are running APM 9.7.1.16 and WebSphere is being upgraded from 7.x to 8.5.5, the Environment Team has installed the WebSphere 8.5.5 in one of our APM environment's and we are getting an error when trying to create the "AutoProbeConnector.jar" file for the WebSphere 8.5.5, any tips are appreciated...

    Do not create an AP connector; that is old school Java 4/5 stuff. Not required.

    Hiko,

     

    The APM 9.7 documentation states that the Introscope AutoProbe automates the application instrumentation process by dynamically adding probes to the Application at startup time, and that Introscope probes provide the source data for Introscope metrics. So…with out it, how’s is one to get the WebSphere Metrics, such as PMI?

     

    Cc’ng my co-worker / friend Steve Phang.

    Read the documentation concerning creating a startup class for WAS. AutoProbeConnector is not to be used unless specifically told by CA to resolve a performance issue related to specific OSes, such as zOS.
