Running the discovery library adapter

Use the following instructions to run the discovery library adapter (DLA).

Procedure

  1. Set JAVA_HOME variable to the JDK 1.5 installation.
    • For Windows, set JAVA_HOME=[JDK 1.5 Installation Directory]
    • For all other operating systems, export JAVA_HOME=[JDK 1.5 Installation Directory]
  2. Using a command line interface, change directories to the DLA_INSTALL_DIR/bin directory.
  3. Run the Rational® Asset Manager DLA using the following options:
    • For Windows: RAM_DLA.bat [OPTIONS]
    • For all other operating systems: ./RAM_DLA.sh [OPTIONS]
    Options:
    • [-o configfile]: This option specifies the name of the discovery library adapter configuration properties file. The directory containing the properties file must be in the DLA classpath. The DLA_INSTALL_DIR/bin directory is in the classpath by default. If this option is not specified, the DLA_INSTALL_DIR/bin/RAM_DLA.config.properties file is used.
    • [-p protocol]: Specifies the file transfer protocol. Default is FTP. SFTP is also supported when the discovery library adapter is installed on Linux, AIX®, or Solaris.
    • [-r]: Creates a refresh book.
    • [-c]: Confirms the file transfer. This option passes the confirm flag to the file transfer script and overrides the value specified in the com.ibm.management.soa.dla.filetransfer.confirmTransfer property.
    • [-d]: Does not perform post-discovery file transfer.
    • [-?]: Displays the script options.
