IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Applications, Version 7.2.1

Setting up the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server for the DB2 agent

About this task

By default, the instances of the DB2® agent are displayed in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Navigator view based on the host system host name. To display the DB2 agent with a particular cluster name instead of a particular node host name, set up the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

Remember: Altering the portal variable can cause existing instances of the DB2 agent to be displayed in the wrong location in the portal. For each DB2 agent for UNIX installation, ensure that the following entry is in the config/ud.ini file: CTIRA_NODETYPE=UD. With CTIRA_NODETYPE unset, the DB2 agent defaults to being displayed by the instance name instead of the host name. Updating the CTIRA_NODETYPE variable for the DB2 agent on a UNIX system changes the managed system name. If you change the variable value, any custom situations or polices that are used by the DB2 agent on a UNIX system must be re-created.
