If you plan to use the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring OSLC Performance
Monitoring service provider to integrate with other products by using
OSLC linked data interfaces, you must install the following Jazz™ for Service Management version
1.1 or later prerequisite components if they are not already in your
environment:
- IBM WebSphere® Application Server V8.5.0.1
Note: If
you already have IBMWebSphere Application Server
V8.0.0.2 or a later fix pack, V8.5.0.1 or a later fix pack, or V8.5.5.0
or a later fix pack in your environment, you can use it instead of
installing WebSphere Application
Server V8.5.0.1 from the Jazz for
Service Management media. See Installing Jazz for
Service Management for more details on installing into an existing WebSphere Application Server.
- Jazz for Service Management
extension for IBM WebSphere
- DB2® database server for
the Registry Services database if you do not already have a database
server in your environment
- Registry Services V1.1 or later. In V6.3 fix pack 2, the OSLC
Performance Monitoring service provider supports the Hot Standby environment
for the Hub monitoring server and requires Registry Services V1.1.0.1
or later when this capability is enabled. If Registry Services is
not V1.1.0.1 or later, the Automation Server will not start when the
Hub monitoring server is enabled for Hot Standby.
- Security Services V1.1 or later (optional)
Note: - IBM Tivoli Monitoring includes the Jazz for Service Management media.
- If you want the Performance Monitoring service provider to authenticate
HTTP requests from OSLC clients, you should install and configure
Security Services. Security Services enable non WebSphere based applications such as the
Performance Monitoring service provider to participate in LTPA based
single sign-on. See Single sign-on capability for
more details on using Security Services and single sign-on with the
Performance Monitoring service provider.
- Registry Services and Security Services must be installed into
the same WebSphere Application
Server.
- Registry Services support two types of authentication:
- Basic authentication which requires users and client applications
to provide a user ID and password to Registry Services.
- HTTP client certificate authentication which requires the use
of HTTPS and also requires users and client applications to provide
a client certificate to Registry Services.
Because the Performance Monitoring service provider cannot
be configured to provide an HTTP client certificate to Registry Services,
you must configure Registry Services to use basic authentication when
authentication is enabled. In this case, you must also configure Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Automation Server with a user ID and password that you can use to
authenticate with Registry Services.

Server system requirements, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006921.
See Installing Jazz for Service
Management (
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.0/install/psc_c_install.html) for the following information:
- System requirements for Registry Services and Security Services.
- Installation technologies that are supported for the Jazz for Service Management components. Jazz for Service Management provides
a launchpad application to guide you through a typical or custom installation
procedure and also supports installation from an IBM Installation Manager file or network repository.
After you install and configure Registry Services and optionally
Security Services, install and configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server.
As part of the configuration, you configure connection information
for Registry Services. For more information, see Installing and configuring Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server.
