DWA Emitter for IBM STERLING CONNECT:DIRECT

Prerequisites

This emitter supports monitoring of IBM Sterling Connect:Direct 6.0.0 on distributed platforms (non-z/OS).

Actual detection of Connect:Direct (C:D) file transfer events is performed by accessing C:D Server statistics at runtime using C:D Java API.

C:D Java API jar must be provisioned by the customer on the machine where DWAgent is installed, this jar (usually named CDJAI.jar) is part of IBM Sterling Connect:Direct product installation and it is not distributed with DWAgent.

To include C:D Java API jar into DWAgent CLASSPATH you must create this environment variable DWAGENT_EXT_CP and set its value to the jar file name including its absolute path, then you must export it / make it in the environment where DWAgent is started.

IBM Sterling Connect:Direct versions different from 6.0.0 may be supported as well, depending on C:D Java API compatibility guarantees provided by IBM Sterling across versions.

Given that C:D Java API supports remote connections, DWAgent can also be installed on a machine different from the one where the monitored C:D Server is running.
