Install Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) support to the system on which Tivoli Enterprise Portal is installed.

Before you begin

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have read Planning to install Internet Service Monitoring for information about hardware and software prerequisites, planning and deployment considerations, and any special limitations.

Procedure

To install Tivoli Enterprise Portal support on Windows:

  1. Log on as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Insert the product CD or download the product from the IBM® Passport Advantage® website: http://www.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/.
  3. Launch the installation wizard by double-clicking the setup.exe file. The InstallShield Wizard starts.
  4. Click Next on the Welcome window.
  5. On the Install Prerequisites window, the appropriate IBM GSKit or IBM Java™ check box will be selected if required. Click Next.
  6. On the Software License Agreement window, read the agreement and click Accept.
  7. On the Select Features window, select Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client and click Next. Only those components installed on the current system are listed.
  8. On the Agent Deployment window, click Next.

    The agent deployment refers to the Internet Service Monitoring application which is assumed to be installed on a separate system.

  9. On the Start Copying Files window, review the settings and if correct, click Next. The files are then copied. A Setup Status window informs you about its progress.
  10. On the Setup Type window, make sure that all setup types are selected and click Next.
  11. On the TEPS Hostname window, enter the name of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and click Next. The installation continues and a Setup Status window informs you of the progress.
    Note: The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Hostname is automatically detected if the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed on the same system.
  12. If required, reconfigure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server connection information on the Configuration Defaults for Connecting to a TEMS window and click OK.
    Note: The Configuration Defaults for Connecting to a TEMS and the subsequent summary window are only opened if the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed on the same system. See Configuring Internet Service Monitoring for details of the fields on these windows.
  13. Read the README file and click Finish.

Results

Installation of Tivoli Enterprise Portal support is complete. If all other support files are installed, and the Internet service monitoring agent and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server are reconfigured if required, you are ready to start Internet Service Monitoring.
