(Conditional) Downloading the Liberty data collector

The Liberty data collector is available in the WebSphere Liberty Repository and it can be automatically downloaded if your local system can access this online public repository.

Alternatively, you can download the data collector from Passport Advantage.

  If your environment doesn't have access to the WebSphere Liberty repository where the Liberty application container is built , complete the following steps:

  1. Download the extension pack as a .esa file from another system that can access Liberty data collector in the WebSphere Liberty Repository.
