IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for J2EE, Version 7.1.1

Pre-installation steps for a NetWeaver server

For a NetWeaver server, complete the following pre-installation steps.

  1. Manually back up your NetWeaver database. Use the database admin user, such as db2j2e.
  2. Make sure the NetWeaver system is running.
  3. You need to gather the information of the directories of the Server Home, the Central Instance Home, and the Central Instance Network Home. For detailed information about the directories described, please refer to Three installation types of ITCAM for J2EE Data Collector for NetWeaver.
  4. Make sure you have got the system ID and the instance name.
  5. For silent installation, use the configtool to get the server ID to be monitored.
  6. You should know the Java™ Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) port. The JNDI port is a P4 port of the NetWeaver server to be monitored.
  7. If distributed dialog instance installation is selected as the installation type, mount the Central instance home on central instance computer to a local directory (For example, the absolute path of Central instance home on central instance computer on is C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00, You should map or mount it to a local directory, such as \\<hostname>\usr\sap\J2E\JC00 or Y:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00), and make sure you have the writing rights. Where <hostname> is the IP address or qualified host name of the central instance computer.
  8. On Linux and UNIX systems the following requirements apply:
    • The admin users for every SAP NetWeaver instance must belong to the same group (for example, sapsys). Run the ITCAM Agent for J2EE installation program as a user belonging to the same group.
    • To configure each SAP NetWeaver instance that you need to monitor, run the Data Collector configuration tool using the admin user for the instance.
Important: For paths, always use the backslash (\) on Windows systems and the forward slash (/) on Linux and UNIX systems.
