Install the application support files on a distributed system where a portal server is installed

This step involves installing the application support files on a Windows, Linux®, or UNIX system where a portal server is installed and where either the portal server or a remote monitoring server is configured to communicate with the hub monitoring server on z/OS®.

For base agents (distributed agents included in the purchase of IBM Tivoli Monitoring) and for other distributed agents installed on a system that meets these requirements, you can skip to Copy or transfer catalog and attribute files to the monitoring server on z/OS.
