10. The eG agent executes a JdbcStatsTest on the WebLogic server to report key metrics pertaining
to the JDBC connections to the server. In order to extract the JDBC-specific measures from the
WebLogic server, eG uses a free-ware named P6Spy. Follow the steps given below to configure
P6Spy for the WebLogic server 6.1.
a. The \lib directory (in Unix, this will be /opt/egurkha/lib) contains a file named
p6spy.jar. Copy this jar file to the directory \wlserver6.1\lib\ext directory, where
is the directory in which BEA WebLogic is installed.
b. Similarly, copy the spy.properties file in the /lib directory (in Unix, this will be
/opt/egurkha/lib), to \wlserver6.1\config\. Here, is the
domain name specified during the BEA WebLogic install.
c. Modify the realdriver line in the spy.properties file to reflect your wrapped database driver. An
example of a modified realdriver line follows:
realdriver=weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver
Path and name of the log file that will store the GC
output. If the specified file does not exist in the location,
WebLogic will create a new file with the specified name.
d. In a Windows installation of WebLogic, add ;.\lib\ext\p6spy.jar;.\config\\ to the
classpath in the startWebLogic.cmd file , which resides in
\wlserver6.1\config\.
e. In a Unix installation of WebLogic, add :./lib/ext/p6spy.jar:./config/ to the classpath in
the startWebLogic.sh file, which resides in the /wlserver6.1/config/. Do not
include any trailing spaces after the new line. This adds p6spy.jar and spy.properties to the
classpath.
f. Modify WebLogic Server to use the P6Spy driver. Either modify config.xml (which resides in
\wlserver6.1\config\) directly or complete the following steps:
