Prerequisites for Collecting System Monitor Data
Before you can collect System Monitor data, you must set Windchill properties to establish the access protocol, host name, and port that the System Configuration Collector can use to communicate with the System Monitor server. Use the xconfmanager utility to add the required properties to the wt.properties file that is on the Windchill server from which you are running the System Configuration Collector.
System Monitor Collection Properties
The following table contains the properties to set in wt.properties and their descriptions:
|
Property
|
Description
|
|
psm.server.protocol
|
Sets the communication protocol used when accessing the System Monitor server.
The only valid value is http.
|
|
psm.server.hostname
|
Sets the host name of the server where the System Monitor is installed.
|
|
psm.server.port
|
Sets the port number used to communicate with the System Monitor server. This port number was established when the System Monitor was installed.
When installing the System Monitor, the default port number is 8020.

Example of Setting System Monitor Collection Properties
To set and propagate the required properties:
1. Open a command window and start a Windchill shell.
2. Enter an xconfmanager utility command to set the values in wt.properties and propagate them.
For example, assume that the System Monitor server host name is myhost.localnet.com and the port number is the default port (8020). Then, you can enter a command similar to the following:
xconfmanager -s psm.server.protocol=http -s psm.server.hostname=myhost.localnet.com -s psm.server.port=8020 -t wt.properties -p
3. Restart the Windchill server.
