Use the wt.util.jmx.SMJconsole command line utility to connect to JConsole. The utility directly connects to the server manager using the local JMX connection.

The wt.util.jmx.SMJconsole utility works on any trusted host. That includes running the utility on a platform that does not allow JMX connections using process IDs or that does not publish local JMX connections to JConsole. Additionally, you can use the wt.util.jmx.SMJconsole utility when the target process is being run as a different user. However, intervening firewalls can prevent this utility from working.

The wt.util.jmx.SEJconsole utility provides the WtJmxPlugin.jar file, which is a plugin that adds the Windchill tab to the user interface. Starting JConsole from the JConsole shortcuts listed in the Windchill shortcuts folder loads the plugin. If you start JConsole using any other method, you must add the following argument to load the plugin:

where <Windchill> is the Windchill installation directory.

If you are using JConsole remotely, you can download the WtJmxPlugin.jar file from your Windchill server to the remote server and then specify the file that is on your local server.
