You can install one or more Warehouse Proxy Agents to collect and send historical data to the Tivoli® Data Warehouse database.
Complete the tasks described in the following table, in the order listed, to install and configure each Warehouse Proxy Agent.
| Task | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Install one or more Warehouse Proxy Agents.
If you want to install a Summarization and Pruning Agent on the same
computer as one of the Warehouse Proxy Agents, use the referenced
procedures to install both agents at the same time. If you are installing the Warehouse Proxy agent on a 64-bit Windows system, you should install the 64-bit version of the agent so that you do not have to execute special steps to create a 32-bit version of an ODBC data source for the Tivoli Warehouse database. If you are installing more than one Warehouse Proxy Agent, each agent must be installed on a separate computer. The installation procedure
for Windows includes steps
for configuring the connection between the Warehouse Proxy and the
hub Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring server. On Linux or AIX®, this step is performed in a
separate configuration procedure (Configuring the monitoring agent).
See the information at right. Be sure to perform all of the referenced
installation and configuration procedures.
Note for sites setting up autonomous operation: The installation procedure includes
steps for configuring the connection between the agent and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server. On Windows operating
systems, if you want to run the Warehouse Proxy Agent without a connection
to the hub, accept the defaults for the connection information, but
specify a non valid name for the monitoring server. On UNIX and Linux operating
systems, check No TEMS on the TEMS Connection tab
of the configuration window.

To install a Warehouse Proxy Agent on Windows, complete the procedure Windows: Installing a monitoring agent. To install a Warehouse Proxy
Agent on Linux or AIX, complete the procedure Linux or UNIX: Installing a monitoring agent, including the following subsections:
|
(Warehouse Proxy Agent on Windows only)
|
See the Microsoft SQL Server documentation for instructions on how to install a Microsoft SQL client and configure a remote client connection. |
| (Warehouse Proxy Agent on Windows only) On the computer where the Warehouse Proxy Agent is installed, configure an ODBC data source for the data warehouse. Perform this procedure whether or not the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the warehouse database are installed on the same computer. |
Configuring an ODBC data source for a Microsoft SQL data warehouse |
| (Warehouse Proxy Agent on Linux or AIX only)
Install the most current SQL Server JDBC driver on the computer where the Warehouse Proxy Agent is installed. |
Go to the Microsoft Web
page at: http://www.microsoft.com and search for JDBC driver. Follow the instructions on the Microsoft download page for installing the driver. After you install the driver, the JAR file name and location are as follows: <mssqlinstalldir>/sqljdbc_1.1/enu/sqljdbc4.jar |
| Configure the Warehouse Proxy Agent to connect
to the data warehouse. Perform this procedure whether or not the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the warehouse database are installed on the same computer. |
For a Warehouse Proxy Agent on Windows, see Configuring a Warehouse Proxy Agent on Windows (ODBC connection). For a Warehouse Proxy Agent on Linux or AIX, see Configuring a Warehouse Proxy Agent on Linux or UNIX (JDBC connection). |
| If you are installing more than one Warehouse Proxy Agent within the same hub monitoring server installation, associate each Warehouse Proxy Agent with a subset of monitoring servers (hub or remote) within the installation. Each Warehouse Proxy Agent receives data from the monitoring agents that report to the monitoring servers on the list. Use the environment variable KHD_WAREHOUSE_TEMS_LIST to specify a list of monitoring servers to associate with a Warehouse Proxy Agent. | For instructions about installing and configuring multiple Warehouse Proxy Agents within a single hub monitoring server installation, see Installing and configuring multiple Warehouse Proxy Agents. |
| (Optional) Customize the configuration of the Warehouse Proxy Agent for tuning performance. | Tuning the performance of the Warehouse Proxy |
