IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for J2EE, Version 7.1.1

Installing the agent using the Windows installation utility

To install the agent, run the Windows 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 setup.exe file.
  3. Use the installation wizard to install the agent:
    1. Review prerequisites.
    2. Review and accept the product license.
    3. Select the folder for installation.
    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. Select the components to install.
      Important: If any IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent is already installed on this host, make sure to expand the tree in this window and explicitly select the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager Agent for J2EE check box. By default, if an IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent is found, this check box is not selected even when you select the top level box.
    6. Enter the name of the Windows program folder. After completion of the installation, a folder with this name appears in your Start > Programs menu. The folder contains Tivoli Monitoring utilities.
    7. Verify the selected features and install the agent.
    8. Select whether to configure the monitoring agent settings and whether to launch the Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services utility for additional configuration. For configuration instructions, see Configuring and unconfiguring the monitoring agent and data collector.
