IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for J2EE, Version 7.1.1

Installing the agent using the command line installation utility

To install the agent, run the command line installation utility.

Before you begin

Before installing the Agent, you need to know the host name or IP address of the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server to which the agent is to connect.

Procedure

  1. Extract the agent installation image.
  2. Run the ./install.sh script.
  3. Use the installation wizard to install the agent:
    1. Enter the directory for installation.
    2. When prompted for installation options, select 1, Install products to the local host. ITCAM Agent for J2EE does not support other options.
    3. Review and accept the product license.
    4. If Tivoli Monitoring is not installed on the host, enter the 32-character encryption key used to secure password transmission and other sensitive data across your IBM® Tivoli Monitoring environment. For more details about the key, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide.
    5. If the installation utility requests installation of additional prerequisites, for example IBM Tivoli Monitoring Shared Libraries, select their installation. If you choose not to install the prerequisites, the utility does not install the agent.
    6. When prompted to select the product to install, select IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Agent for J2EE.
    7. Verify the selected features and install the agent.
    8. After all of the components are installed, you are asked whether you want to install additional products or product support packages. Type 2 and press Enter.
    9. If your Tivoli Monitoring environment is not already secured you will be asked at this point if you want to secure it. If your Tivoli Monitoring environment is already secured this question is skipped. The product installation process creates the majority of directories and files with world write permissions. IBM Tivoli Monitoring provides the secureMain utility to help you keep the monitoring environment secure. You can secure your installation now, or manually execute the secureMain utility later. For more information, see "Securing your IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation on Linux or UNIX" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation Guide, Version 6.2.3.
