RE: [ITM] Reconfiguring KSY and TEPS w/o the GUI

Thanks, Brett and John.  I'd forgotten which file I had to change; it's been a couple of years since I worked with ITM.  If I'm lucky I'll get my X server software installed before I have to do this.  Otherwise I'll just use itmcmd.

For the TEMS updating the .config file is fine for temporary changes, but long term very bad since it will be over-written by a TEMS reconfiguration.

After ITM 623 create a file with same attributes/owner/group

xx.environment

and place any permanent overrides in that file. That is guaranteed to be preserved through future changes.

The only one I could not change that way was KBB_RAS1_LOG. That has to be in xx.ini and [for TEMS] a ./itmcmd config  operation.

At ITM 6.2.3 FP1, you can reconfigure all those components via the "itmcmd config -A <productCode>" CLI.  The sy / hd / pa configuration will allow you to specify the JAR file path(s).  One thing I remember is that if you need to specify more than one JAR file, it uses comma-separated entries for sy and hd, but colon-separated entries for pa.  Oracle probably only needs one JAR file to be specified so you'll be ok, but anyone else doing this will need to remember for a different Warehouse RDBMS like DB2 which uses two JARs.

Also when editing config files, you usually don't want to edit the *.config file because it's the file that gets re-written each time the Agent starts (the exception would a TEMS).  If you ever need to edit anything in the config manually without using the CLI / MTEMS, then make a backup copy of the <productCode>.ini file first, and then edit the <productCode>.ini file.  The <productCode>.ini  file gets merged with settings in the <InstallDirectory>/config/.ConfigData/<productCode>env file to generate the new <productCode>.config file each time it starts.

ITM 6.2.3 fp1 on AIX.

I need to upgrade my Oracle warehouse DB, and the path to the JDBC drivers will change.  I'll need to reconfigure TEPS, KSY, KHD, and PA but I don't have access to a GUI (yet) to run MTEMS for TEPS and PA.  Couldn't I just edit cq.config and pa.config, update Kxx_WAREHOUSE_JARS manually, and run the itmcmd config command for each instead?
