Installing application and language support
You must install application and language supported for the IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks monitoring agent.
About this task
- SQL files are required for adding product-provided situations, templates, and policies to the Enterprise Information Base (EIB) tables maintained by the hub monitoring server. These SQL files are also called seed data, and installing them on a monitoring server is also called seeding the monitoring server.
- Catalog and attribute (CAT and ATR) files are required for presenting workspaces, online help, and expert advice for the agent in Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.
Application support must be configured on all instances of the following infrastructure components: Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (both hub and remote monitoring servers), Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client, if the desktop client was installed from the installation media.
Application support for the monitoring agent is installed on the remote monitoring server when agents are registered with the local monitoring server.
The files required for support are contained in IBM® Tivoli OMEGAMON® Data Files for z/OS® DVD included in the product package. You install support on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and any desktop clients on the computer on which they are installed. If your hub is on Windows or a UNIX operating system (Linux®, AIX®, Solaris), you install support on the monitoring server locally (that is, on the computer on which it is installed). If your hub is on z/OS, you install support from a Windows computer that hosts either a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. The hub monitoring server must be running while you are installing support.
Use the procedures documented in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide to add support to Tivoli Enterprise Portal or a hub monitoring server on Windows, AIX, or Linux. Use the instructions in IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server on z/OS to add support to a z/OS hub.
If you want application data, online help, and expert advice to be displayed in a language other than English, you must also install language support.
You install language support from the IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks Language Pack CD on the same system where you install application support. Install the language packs on any system where you have installed the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or where you have installed a desktop client. (If you download and run a desktop client using Web Start, you do not need to install the language packs on the local system. They are downloaded from the portal server.) Before you can install a language pack, you must install the component in English.
