Before you begin

The hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and the portal server must be running for the portal client to start successfully. You also must have a valid user ID.

About this task

After you have successfully installed and configured all the components of your IBM® Tivoli Monitoring environment, you can verify the installation and configuration by launching the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to view monitoring data.
