How to resolve error KFWITM217E Create Request Failed rc=209

After the installation of the Base ITM, and when you start TEPS, if you notice the KFWITM217E error ,  the problem could be that the TEMS support for the products was not configured.

So, to resolve this : go to the Base ITM Installer and execute this command.

./install.sh
and choose the Tivoli Monitoring Server Support ( Option '5')
Re-install ( if the prompt ask do you want to reinstall the SAME Version - say yes')
Seed it. ( accept this prompts during configuration )

Restart all the processes
This should resolve it.

Starting DB2CC Control Center in Linux.

On a DB2 V9.5

Troubleshooting db2cc on a Linux server.

The db2cc is installed automatically when DB2 V9.5 is installed in the default /opt/IBM/db2/V9.5 folder. So, if you try to start it in a VNC session, then if you get this message.




That means the JDK_PATH is not set right.

This is how you check the path is correct or not.

Login to the db2instance
( su - db2inst1 )

db2 get dbm cfg  - look for JDK_PATH



If the path above does not have the JRE - then reset it to the correct JRE location  using this command.
( in my case - the JRE path was found in the below path )

Update it using the below command.



Validate it by running the  'get dbm cfg ' again



In the root window in VNC,  export the DISPLAY=<IPaddress>:0.0
cd to /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/bin  (or wherever the DB2 is installed ) 
./db2cc
should launch the DB2 Control Center.
