Remote JMX Monitoring
The out-of-the-box Windchill configuration results in server side processes that only allow incoming JMX connections from the same machine and user account.
* 
This "local connection" capability is not provided by IBM JVMs. You must configure for remote JMX connections in order to connect to Tomcat or the server manager when an IBM JVM is used. Also, the Windows services normally run under a different user account. Unless this is changed, you cannot use local monitoring to monitor any process that is run as a Windows service.
This configuration is used out-of-the-box so as to default to a secure, locked down configuration.
You might want to check up on server processes from other machines and user accounts. JConsole and VisualVM are JMX consoles that capable of forming the type of connections allowed by the out-of-the-box configuration.
