Registering your product with a local Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server

This procedure is not required if the self-describing agent feature is enabled. Otherwise, you must register your product with the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server to which it reports.

About this task

This procedure updates the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to recognize newly installed products, that is, register the product with the monitoring server, and initialize the monitoring server with application data. Such data includes catalog and attribute files to the Enterprise Information Base (EIB) tables of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

Procedure

Note: The Configuration Tool is no longer available. You use PARMGEN to specify the settings. Review the information in the OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above. The shared documentation includes various configuration scenarios and it also includes information that describes how to add application support to a monitoring server on z/OS®.

Use the Register with local Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server option in the Complete the Configuration panel if any of these situations apply to your environment:

  1. If the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and your agent are installed in the same runtime environment, register the agent with the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and add application support to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server in a single operation that is run by the Configuration Tool. When you select the Complete the Configuration option from the Main menu, the Configuration Tool dynamically displays the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server application support requirements. The requirements that display depend on how a particular product adds application support to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. See the topic that describes how to register an agent with a local monitoring server on z/OS.
  2. If the agent is registered to a local z/OS remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that connects to a non-local z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, register the agent with the non-local z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. A non-local z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server refers to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server defined in another runtime environment as follows:
    1. The z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is known to the INSTLIB installation library.
    2. The z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is defined in another INSTLIB, or in another CSI, that is not accessible to this INSTLIB installation library.
    Note: The agent must be installed in the non-local INSTLIB or CSI environment where the non-local z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed. If the primary Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is a remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and the remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server reports to a z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, you must register the agent in the runtime environment where the z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is configured.
  3. The agent is configured to run in its own address space and it reports to a non-local z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. A non-local z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server refers to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server defined in another runtime environment as follows:
    1. The hub or remote z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is known to the INSTLIB installation library
    2. The hub or remote z/OS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is defined in another INSTLIB, or in another CSI, that is not accessible to this INSTLIB installation library.
    Note: The agent must be installed in the non-local INSTLIB or CSI environment where the primary Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed, if the agent reports to the non-local hub or remote. If the primary Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is a remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and the remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server reports to a z/OS Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, you must also register the agent in the runtime environment where the z/OS hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is configured.
