You must install and configure the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server if you are using the Registry Services component of IBM® Jazz™ for Service Management and other products to integrate with IBM Tivoli Monitoring using OSLC linked data interfaces. Before installation, you must be aware of the existing Registry Services and Performance Monitoring service provider configuration details.
For more information on setting up Registry Services and optionally Security Services before installing the monitoring automation server, see Required software and memory requirements for using the OSLC Performance Monitoring service provider.
The Performance Monitoring server provider does not support the dynamic refresh of application support files. This means that the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server must be recycled when new application support is added to a system, regardless of whether the support was added through a self-describing agent, a regular installation, or a manual copy. However, if the monitoring agent does not provide OSLC support, then the Automation Server does not need to be recycled. Typically, agents before IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3 do not provide OSLC support. See the agent documentation to determine whether an agent provides OSLC support.
