In IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring V6.3 or later, the tacmd listSdaStatus command displays the self-describing enablement status for a monitoring server. You can display the self-describing enablement status for a list of monitoring servers or for all monitoring servers, which is the default action. The operational state of the self-describing agent facility (suspended or active) for the hub monitoring server is also provided if the command is issued to an IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3 or later hub monitoring server. The self-describing operational state (suspended or active) of the hub determines the self-describing activity for all the monitoring servers that are attached to that hub monitoring server.
The self-describing enablement status is indicated by the values of HUB/RTEMS name, STATE, and STATUS.

For more information, examples, and descriptions of the tacmd listSdaStatus command STATUS codes, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference.
Use the tacmd listappinstallrecs command to monitor the application support installation records.
The command returns the application support installation records and displays the current self-describing agent product installation status for all monitoring servers in the environment. Remember that this command is not available when the monitoring server is not running. If the monitoring server and the portal server are both started, you can also see self-describing agent information and settings in the Audit Logs workspace. See Audit logging.

The HUB/RTEMS column lists the node name of the monitoring server where the record was collected. Rows with IC in the STATE column stand for self-describing agent Install Complete. You can also see in this example that the hub monitoring server and the remote monitoring server both have an appinstallrecs entry for monitoring server support (TMS), but the hub monitoring server has two additional appinstallrecs entries for portal server support (TPS) and portal browser client support (TPW) packages. These additional packages are installed only on the hub monitoring server so they are available to the portal server.
| IR | Install Request: New install request on the work queue. |
| IM | Install Metadata: Retrieve the install request from the work queue and begin the metadata install and auto-refresh work. |
| MC | Metadata Complete: Metadata install and auto-refresh has completed. |
| IC | Install Complete: SDA application support has completed successfully. |
| ME | Metadata Error: Metadata Installation Error. STATUS code provides additional information. |

In IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3 or later, the listappinstallrecs -t TEMS option is no longer supported. Use the listSdaStatus command instead.
