Known limitations

Change of Summarized Data

Problem Description
After upgrading earlier versions of the ISM application, summarized data may not be visible, since the summarization behaviour has changed. This issue can be resolved by re-summarizing your existing detailed data. Please refer to this technote for more information.

Remote Deployment to Windows Running MTEMS

Problem Description
Attempting to remotely deploy the ISM agent to a Windows machine actively running the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services (MTEMS) program fails. Before remote deploying, please close the MTEMS program on the target machine.

SOAP Monitor Does Not Support Nested Arrays or multiRef Values

Problem Description
The SOAP monitor is unable to handle parameters containing nested (two or more dimension) arrays or those that are referenced externally in the 'multiRef' style.

WMS monitor is not supported on Windows 2008

Problem Description
Due to API restrictions the WMS monitor will not function on Windows 2008. The monitor will not have a service installed and will not start automatically.

Installation information

For AIX, if upgrading from an ISM 6.0.1 release, you must uninstall the product and perform a new install. This does not apply for other ISM 6 releases. For more information, refer to the following support document:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21321186

For Linux 64-bit, if upgrading from the original ISM 7.1.0.0 release with no fix packs applied, you must uninstall the 7.1.0.0 ISM component and perform a new install. This does not apply to other releases. For more detailed information, refer to the following support document:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21330976

For Windows installation, if you encounter the message "Another version of this product is already installed" follow the instructions in the following support document to diagnose and resolve the problem. Note that although this technote refers to ITM, the diagnosing and resolving steps are applicable to ITCAM for Transactions Internet Service Monitoring.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21587068

Prior to installation

The update installer should perform the following steps for you automatically. You can, if necessary, perform them manually.

  1. Stop ITM agents and infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS).
  2. Ensure the Databridge and Monitors have stopped.

1. Stop ITM agents and infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS):
The ITM agents and infrastructure only need to be stopped when either the application support packages are being installed or ISM is being installed on the ITM machine. If ISM is being installed on a machine that does not contain any ITM infrastructure, the ITM infrastructure does not need to be stopped.

Use the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services (MTEMS) dialog or the command line tools (`ITM\bin\tacmd` or `ITM/bin/itmcmd`) to stop any running ITM agents or infrastructure (including TEMS and TEPS).

On Windows systems, you can start the MTEMS application from your Start menu or by running `ITM\InstallITM\kinconfg.exe`. Alternatively, if you have installed ITM, use the command `ITM\bin\tacmd stopAgent <type>`.

On UNIX systems, you can run MTEMS using the `ITM/bin/itmcmd manage` command. Alternatively, use the commands `ITM/bin/itmcmd agent stop <type>` and `ITM/bin/itmcmd server stop <TEMS name>`.

2. Ensure the Databridge and Monitors have stopped:
When the KISAgent is stopped, it automatically signals for the monitors and databridge to be shutdown. If this does not occur or has been disabled by configuration changes, you may need to perform this step manually.

On Windows systems use the Windows Services dialog to look for any 'NCO * Internet Service Monitor' services. To stop the databrige and monitors ensure that each of these 'NCO *' services are stopped.

On UNIX systems run `ps -ef |grep nco_m_` and issue a `kill <pid>` command for each entry shown. If the databridge or monitors were heavily loaded, they may take some time to shutdown. You may also use `kill -9 <pid>` to immediately stop the databridge or monitors, but this may result in loss or corruption of data being processed.

Installing

This maintenance package is applied directly to the Tivoli Enterprise Management Agent (TEMA). In addition, apply application support from this fixpack to the following ITM components:

  • - Tivoli Enterprise Management Servers (TEMS), including any remote or failover TEMS configurations
  • - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS)
  • - Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP), including any locally installed desktop TEP clients

On Windows systems, extract the files from the archive and double-click WINDOWS\setup.exe. Follow the prompts to install the update.

On UNIX systems, extract the installer from the archive using the tar -xvf <filename.tar> command. Then, execute the installer using the ./install.sh command. Follow the prompts to install the update.

It is also possible to deploy this fixpack remotely using ITM TEMS depot and tacmd AddBundles command. For more information, please refer to the ITCAM for Transactions v7.2.0.2 Installation and Configuration Guide, available here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v24r1/topic/com.ibm.itcamt.doc_7.2.0.2/rt/Install_Guide/remotedeploy.html

Installing application support for TEPS/TEMS
For each monitoring agent installed, you must install agent-specific application support on IBM Tivoli Monitoring components. You can choose to install application support on all components at one time, or you can install the application support on components separately. If installing components separately, the following order is recommended:

  1. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
  2. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
  3. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client
  4. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Browser client (for Linux and UNIX Only)
The procedure for installing agent-specific application support on the components is similar to installing the monitoring agent. The main difference is to select the application support components required.

Note: When installing application support any ITM components on the current machine is automatically stopped, including any TEMS or TEPS. Follow the Starting and stopping servers and agents guide to manually stop ITM agents and infrastructure. You should warn other users before beginning the installation.

For step by step application support installation information refer to the documentation:
Installing Internet Service Monitoring on Windows systems
Installing on Linux or UNIX systems

Performing the necessary tasks after installation

A successful installation modifies the ISM version to 7.2.0.3. Ensure that the Version of Internet Service Monitoring in the MTEMS is '07.20.03.23'.

On Windows the installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM\InstallITM\

On Unix the installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM/logs/

Troubleshooting installation problems from the Support site

For more detailed information, refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v24r1/topic/com.ibm.itcamt.doc_7.2.0.2/ism/dita/ag/topic/ISM_install_chapter.html

Uninstalling if necessary

This maintenance package cannot be rolled back.

On Windows, you must run the following command prior to uninstalling the product to remove the Windows Services created during the install:
ITM\TMAITM6\ism\platform\win32\bin\preuninstall.cmd
The product may then be removed using the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs.

On UNIX,the product may be removed using the script:
ITM/bin/uninstall.sh

For detailed instructions, please refer to the ITCAM for Transactions v7.2.0.2 Installation and Configuration Guide, available here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v24r1/topic/com.ibm.itcamt.doc_7.2.0.2/ism/dita/ag/topic/ISM_uninstall_chapter.html
