Software Requirements

If the database server and the WebSphere server are installed on two different machines, then both machines must have the same timezone settings.

If the time zone of the operating system hosting the BI Monitor server supports daylight saving, add the following JVM property in the WAS Generic JVM Arguments and then restart the application server. If the time zone of the operating system hosting BI Monitor server does not support daylight saving, you do not need to use this JVM property.

-Dmonitor.adjust4DST.enabled=true

If the "Total transaction lifetime timeout" property for the application server, where the WebSphere BI Monitor is installed, is set to a value greater than 600 seconds, then you must add the following JVM property to the Application Server Generic JVM Properties and set its value to be the same as the one used in the "Total transaction lifetime timeout":

-Dmonitor.eventbus.locktimeout=<tx_timeout>

For example, if the Total transaction lifetime timeout is set to 660 seconds, then the JVM property must be added as follows:

-Dmonitor.eventbus.locktimeout=660

You must restart the WebSphere Application Server after adding this JVM property.
