Configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client

Edit online

Complete the following steps to configure the desktop client from the command line on Linux.

Procedure

  1. Browse to the directory /opt/IBM/ITM/bin, or the directory where you installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
  2. Run the following command to start to configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client: 
    ./itmcmd config -A cj
  3. Press Enter to use the default TEP instance name (none), or provide a name for the TEP instance.
  4. Type the host name for the portal server and press Enter. The default value is 'localhost'.
    Sometimes localhost is not mapped with 127.0.0.1, as a result, you need to manually edit the host file in your system to create the map between localhost and 127.0.0.1. By default, the host file is located in /etc/hosts.
  5. Press Enter to accept the default browser path /usr/bin/firefox.
  6. Press Enter to not use HTTP Proxy support.
