This function allows you to remotely manage the Summarization
and Pruning Agent using the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal. You can use this function anytime the Summarization and Pruning
Agent needs to be started or stopped.
Before you begin
For remote management of monitoring agents in general, you
must install the appropriate OS monitoring agent. For instance, to
remotely manage a Summarization and Pruning Agent on Linux systems, you must install the Monitoring
Agent for Linux OS on the same
server. To remotely manage a Summarization and Pruning Agent on Windows systems, you must install
the Monitoring Agent for Windows on
the same server.
About this task
The Deployment Status Detail workspace should show a SUCCESSFUL
Transaction for the Configure command against the Summarization and
Pruning Agent. The Summarization and Pruning Agent in the navigator
tree should be grayed out if the agent is stopped, and visible if
it is started. Afterwards, the Summarization and Pruning Agent operates
as usual when configuration is successful. Connectivity of the Summarization
and Pruning Agent can be checked on the Summarization and Pruning
Agent Status workspace.
To enable this function, complete the following
steps:
Procedure
- Open the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal.
- Select the Summarization and Pruning Agent that needs to
be remotely managed.
- Right-click on the Summarization and Pruning Agent in the
navigator tree.
- Choose Start or Stop.
The configure panel for the Summarization and Pruning Agent is displayed.

tracing can also be set: ERROR(UNIT: KDY ALL) on the OS agent, ERROR(UNIT:
KDY ALL ) on the monitoring server.
