SHIFTPERIOD: Indicator of shifts to include. -1 = AllShifts,1=OffPeak, 2 = Peak
VACATIONPERIOD: Indicator of vacation days to include. -1 = AllDays, 0 =
WorkDays,1=VacationDays
TIMESPAN: Set of values captured by the Timespan window. It is not practical to
construct this directly.
SUMMARY_DAY: Day to select. A string in the format YYYY/MM/DD. The
following is an example link wizard expression that can build such a string value
from the a TEP 16 character timestamp attribute value (assuming years in the 20yy
range):
dt = $knt.Processor:ATTRIBUTE.NTPROCSSR_H.WRITETIME$; yyyy = "20" +
STR(dt, 2, 2); mm = STR(dt, 4, 2); dd = STR(dt, 6, 2); yyyy + "/" + mm + "/" + dd
SUMMARY_WEEK: First day of week to select. A string in the format
YYYY/MM/DD
Because of the open-ended nature of the custom queries and their provision by
multiple agent groups, it is possible that other symbols might also be used. One
way to understand what values are required is to save a copy of the query and
edit it to remove clauses involving the symbols. When the modified query is
assigned to a view (assuming any syntax errors are overcome), it should return an
unfiltered view of the table. The values in the table, in conjunction with close
examination of the query text, can be used as a guide to what to provide as filter
values.
Another symbol that has been specifically asked about is $Server_Name$. This is
the name of the server of interest. If the workspace is below the agent level in the
navigator tree, $NODE$ will usually return an appropriate value. If the value is
being provided through a link, it can often be picked from the Server Name
attribute of the link source row. When in doubt, examining a display of the
unfiltered table can help determine what is expected.
In summary, it should be emphasized that the product-provided workspaces based
on these queries should be used whenever possible.
A message appears after accepting the license
UNIX only During installation of the Monitoring Agent, immediately after
accepting the license agreement, a message similar to the following lslpp: message
might be displayed: Press Enter to continue viewing the licenseagreement, or
enter "1" to accept the agreement, "2" to decline it, "3" to print it,"4"
to read non-IBM terms, or "99" togo back to the previous screen.

lslpp: Fileset gsksa.rte not installed.
This message is harmless and is associated with verifying the versions of the gskit
component installed by IBM Tivoli Monitoring. The message is displayed at a point
where the UNIX installation normally pauses for a number of seconds, causing a
tendency to think the installation has failed, although this is not the case.
