IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for J2EE, Version 7.1.1

Installing application support on Linux and UNIX systems

To ensure that ITCAM Agent for J2EE works within your IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring infrastructure, you need to install application support files for it on every hub monitoring server, portal server, and portal client. After configuring the Agent on the monitored host, you also need to enable Tivoli monitoring history collection. You do not need to install application support files if IBM Tivoli Monitoring is not used (in a deep dive diagnostics only installation).

Important: You will need to stop the monitoring server, portal server, or portal client when installing the support files.
