ITCAM for SOA 7.2 Fix Pack 1

Configuring for remote deployment of the monitoring agent

ITCAM for SOA supports the Tivoli® Monitoring feature of remotely deploying the monitoring agent across your environment from a central location, the monitoring server.

Before you install the ITCAM for SOA on a remote system using Tivoli Enterprise Portal, the application support files must be installed on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (including browser client support files), hub and remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop clients.

Installation of application support files is only required when the monitoring agent is deployed from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. However, the application support files must be installed to view monitoring data in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, regardless of whether the agent was installed remotely with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command-line interface.

The application support files are automatically propagated to the monitoring server, if all of the following conditions are met:

Self-description is enabled on the hub and remote monitoring servers
All Tivoli Management Services server components are at version 6.2.3 or higher.
The agent framework is at version 6.2.3 or higher.

Self-description is enabled by default on ITCAM for SOA. For more information about the conditions that must be met for self-description, see Enabling application support through self-description.
