ITCAM for SOA 7.2 Fix Pack 1

Installing the ITCAM for SOA monitoring agent remotely with Tivoli Enterprise Portal

You can use the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal to install the monitoring agent remotely.

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

Before you can install the ITCAM for SOA monitoring agent on a remote system, you must first deploy an OS monitoring agent to the remote system. See the Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide for details.

To install the monitoring agent remotely with Tivoli Monitoring, complete the following procedure:
  1. From the physical Navigator view in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, navigate to the computer where you want to install the monitoring agent.
  2. Right-click the remote computer and select Add Managed System.
  3. Select Monitoring Agent for Composite Application Manager for SOA and click OK.
  4. The New Managed System Configuration window is displayed. Accept the default to use the local system account or specify a valid account and password.
  5. Click Finish. The monitoring agent installation process is started; you can track its progress in the Deployment Status workspace.

This procedure installs the monitoring agent and the ITCAM for SOA-specific data collectors.

Restriction: The procedure does not install the Data Collector for WebSphere® Message Broker. To install the Data Collector for WebSphere Message Broker on a remote system, copy the ITCAM for SOA installation media to the remote system, run the installation wizard, and select the Data Collector for WebSphere Message Broker from the list of features that are available for installation.

To install and configure the ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere, see Installing and configuring ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere from a command prompt.
