Generating the bundle

Use Agent Builder to generate a bundle for remote deployment of an agent.

Procedure

To generate the remote deployment bundle, use one of the following procedures to display the Generate Final Remote Deploy Bundle window
- In the Remote Deploy Bundle Editor, click generate the final Remote deploy bundle.
- Right-click the project in the Navigator tree, then click IBM Tivoli Monitoring Remote Deploy > Generate Remote Deploy Bundle
You can now generate the bundle in two ways:
- If there is a Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server on the system where you are running the Agent Builder, click Install the Remote Deploy bundle into a local TEMS depot.
  The Agent Builder attempts to determine the Tivoli Monitoring installation location and enter it into the Directory field. If CANDLE_HOME is not set, the default location of C:\IBM\ITM or /opt/IBM/ITM is used. Ensure that the installation location is correct before you continue.
  
  You must provide Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server login information to install the bundle.
- To generate the bundle to a directory on your system, click Generate the Remote Deploy bundle in a local directory
  After the process is complete, you must transfer this directory to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system and use the tacmd addbundles command to add the bundle to the depot.

What to do next

When you deploy the bundle, you must use the

tacmd
addSystem

command. For example:

tacmd addsystem -t MONITORINGCOLLECTION -n Primary:ITMAGT:NT

Where -t (type) is the Product Code as returned by the tacmd viewDepot command:

>tacmd viewDepot
Product Code : MONITORINGCOLLECTION
Version : 010000003
Description : MonitoringCollectionScripts
Host Type : WINNT
Host Version : WINNT
Prerequisites:

Note: You cannot deploy remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Browser. Deploy remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Browser results in the KFWITM219E message.
