Restart ITM Monitoring agent

To see if the Oracle module is installed

export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/bin/cinfo -i

See which instances have been setup to be monitored

export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kdyedit -h /opt/IBM/ITM list

Add an instance to be monitored

$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kdyedit -h /opt/IBM/ITM -r itmora -i $ORACLE_SID -t or add

This one should also be done in order that rc.d scripts know to start the agent as itmora instead of root

$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kciedit -h /opt/IBM/ITM -r itmora -i $ORACLE_SID -t or add

Restart the agent

export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/StartAgent.sh restart all
or
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/StartAgent.sh start or -o SRV2R

Check the agent is running

ps -ef | grep koragent

Reconfigure agent

export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/bin/itmcmd config -A or

Troubleshooting

Monitoring says database inactive

  • Check the config file. We had this issue when a new ORACLE_HOME was installed but the cfg file still had the old one in it.
export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
cd $ITM_HOME/config
vi solax005_or_SRV2R.cfg
#  IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases: Oracle Agent
#  Configuration file: solax005_or_SRV2R.cfg
#  Written by CandleDBconfig version: 1.4 on 31Jul13 13:39:41

#  Note: this is a Korn-shell script that is "sourced" to create the
#  environment for a Monitoring Agent for Oracle.  It can be used to create
#  the environment to run the IBM-supplied database grant scripts.

#  IBM does not recommend that you modify this file, but you can change the
#  data values or add new exported variables as long as the file is a valid ksh
#  script that executes with zero return code, and values remain quoted with "".

#  Following environment variables are set for convenience in running grants.
   export ORACLE_SID="SRV2R"
   export ORACLE_HOME="/oracle/product/11.2.0.1"
   # IY92195  COLL_DISABLE_CURSORS setting
   export TNS_ADMIN="/oracle/product/11.2.0.1/network/admin"

#  Following variables are set for the setup scripts
   db_sid="SRV2R"
   db_home="/oracle/product/11.2.0.1"
   db_initfilename=""
   db_login="tivoli"
   db_password="795D8822BC49477323815CD21C1E66E966E48EEE19C6A98056224D649B0FE316E6A11DC3F4E9BB5E226B65A8"
   db_ver="11.x"
   db_type="kor"
   db_tns="/oracle/product/11.2.0.1/network/admin"
   db_extparms=""
   db_hostname="solax005"
   db_reason="AIX_ps_ceww"
   db_pipedir=""
   db_installstatus="CONFIGSUCCESS"

#  User-defined environment variables

Solution:

  • Change all occurrences of 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3
  • Restart agent

Alerts due to password expiring (or being changed in the database but not in ITM!)

cd $ITM_HOME/logs
ls -altr | grep WM820T
tail -20 solax005_or_WM820T_col.out
CGN1521E (161614) Interval collection failed for cursor KORHART2
RCD0110S (161614) Invalid Oracle logon id (tivoli) or password given
 Please contact DBA to correct userid or password
CGN1521E (161614) Interval collection failed for cursor KORHART4
CGN1525E (161614) One or more interval cursors failed

CGN1525E (161714) One or more interval cursors failed

Solution:

  • Run agent reconfigure to setup the new password for the candle user (tivoli)
export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/bin/itmcmd config -A or
  • Restart agent
export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/StartAgent.sh restart or -o WM820T

Many agents started with root user instead of itmora

This can happen if the server is rebooted before the agents have been added to the itmora list using kdyedit / kciedit

export CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
export ITM_HOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kdyedit list
Type Runas      Inst                
or   root       AGPDEV              
or   root       BO1R                
or   root       DEV3                
or   root       EMREP               
or   root       ICR                 
or   itmora     MAPDEV              
or   itmora     MAPER               
or   itmora     PED                 
or   itmora     PER

or   itmora     SRV2R               
or   itmora     WM820Q              
or   itmora     WM820T              
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kciedit list

or   root       DEV3                
or   root       EMREP               
or   root       ICR

or   itmora     WM820Q              
or   itmora     WM820T              

Solution: Add these instances to the itmora list

./kdyedit -t or -i AGPDEV -r itmora add
./kciedit -t or -i AGPDEV -r itmora add
...
./kdyedit -t or -i ICR -r itmora add
./kciedit -t or -i ICR -r itmora add
$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/kciedit list
Type Runas      Inst                
or   itmora     AGPDEV              
or   itmora     BO1R                
or   itmora     DEV3                
or   itmora     EMREP               
or   itmora     ICR                 
or   itmora     MAPDEV              
or   itmora     MAPER               
or   itmora     PED                 
or   itmora     PER                 
or   itmora     RMANV11             
or   itmora     SRV2R               
or   itmora     WM820Q              
or   itmora     WM820T              

Kill any agents still running as root

ps -ef |grep kor | grep root
kill -9 <process id>

Because these agents were owned by root, there will be permissions issues when trying to restart the agents with itmora so these need to be fixed before restarting the agents.
The simplest way of doing this is to run lockdown.

$ITM_HOME/smitools/scripts/lockdown.sh

Create a comma separated list of columns from a select statement

Method 1:

SELECT parent_id,
       RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e,child_id || ',')).EXTRACT('//text()'),',') AS "Children"
FROM   parentChildTable
WHERE  parent_id = 0
GROUP  BY parent_id
/

or

SELECT parent_id,
       LISTAGG(child_id, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY child_id) AS "Children"
  FROM parentChildTable
 WHERE parent_id = 0
 GROUP BY parent_id
/

Method 2 (undocumented and cannot therefore be relied on to continue working in the same manner):

SELECT wmsys.wm_concat(<column_name>)
FROM <table_name>
/
