Scenario D: Upgrading monitoring agents in an existing runtime environment without a z/OS monitoring server

Use this scenario if you already upgraded the Tivoli Management Services on z/OS components and want to upgrade stand-alone monitoring agents in an existing runtime environment that does not contain a z/OSĀ® monitoring server. For example, use the scenario for upgrading an OMEGAMON for CICS monitoring agent to V5.5.0 in an existing runtime environment with no monitoring server.

About this task

Take the following path for Scenario D using the PARMGEN configuration method:

Procedure

Upgrade the monitoring agents in an existing runtime environment without a z/OS monitoring server in an existing PARMGEN RTE.
To upgrade monitoring agents using the PARMGEN-to-PARMGEN upgrade path, complete Scenario RTE02: Upgrading a single product or component in an existing runtime environment.

Make the following adjustments:

  • On the Include Products in this PARMGEN RTE panel (KCIP@PGI), deselect any installed products that you do not want to add or upgrade. Products already configured in the environment are indicated by a slash (/). If newer versions are installed in the target SMP/E libraries, and you do not exclude these products, they are upgraded.
