If Installation Manager 1.8.6 is not installed, download the software from the IBM Website for your respective platform and architecture and install it:
If you are using an earlier version of Installation Manager, upgrade to version 1.8.6:
Download the RLKS_Administration_And_Reporting_Tool_Agent_815.zip media files from the Fix Central.
Extract the files to a directory, such as ../agent-installer/815/.
Launch Installation Manager in console mode.
Add the extracted media file locations to IBM Installation Manager Preferences.
1. Enter P to open Preferences.
2. Enter 1 for Repositories.
3. Enter D and input absolute path to location ../agent-installer/815/RLKS_ADMIN_AGENT/disk1”. Then press Enter.
4. Enter A to apply the changes.
5. Enter R to return to the main menu.

The agent is installed by default as a Windows service and can be configured as a service on UNIX platforms. See Starting Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool on system startup.
Attention: If the agent is already configured with the reporting tool, when you upgrade, the reporting tool shows the reporting status as Not Running. When you select Start reporting for the first time, the log file conversion process begins. Depending on the size of your server log file, it can take time for the initial conversion of the data. The system must convert the data in the entire log to the required format.
