Using self-describing agents (SDA)
ITCAM for Transactions V7.4 and later supports self-describing agents (SDA). This function enables you to install Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server support files automatically when installing ITCAM for Transactions agents. This function is only supported on ITM IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.3 and later.
The support files are included with the agent installation files. When an SDA-enabled agent connects to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, it automatically pulls the Transaction Tracking support files from the computer on which the agent is installed and updates the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
Before you can use SDA, it must be enabled for each agent that you want to install.
