Known issues

There are no known issues.

Known limitations

The silent example file (silent.txt) is the default example file shipped with ITCAM for Transactions v7.4.0.1; it contains examples for the CICSTX and IBM MQ Data Collectors. These collectors are not shipped with this maintenance delivery vehicle (MDV).

Installation information

Before installation

This maintenance delivery vehicle contains a regular IBM Tivoli Monitoring upgrade package, and uses the standard IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation methods; including silent installation and remote deployment. However, Fixpack 1's APAR only impacted two agents, and only those agents are included. The agents are:

  • Transaction Reporter (TO)
  • Transaction Collector (TU)
Review 7.4 FP1 IBM Docs - Installing Transaction Tracking on the methods and procedures used to install IBM Tivoli Monitoring packages.

Installing

On machines with Transaction Collector (TU) or Transaction Reporter (TO) agents installed, use the following instructions:
7.4 FP1 IBM Docs - Upgrading your Transaction Tracking installation On machines where WAS-TT Data Collectors are installed, follow the following instructions (for the WAS-TT DC only): WAS-TT DC Installation instructions

On Windows systems, extract the files from the archive into a scratch directory. Double-click the WINDOWS\setup.exe command in the extracted files image to run the installer. Follow the prompts to install the update.

On UNIX systems, use the tar -xvf command to extract the installer from the archive into a scratch directory. Then, use the ./install.sh command in the extracted files image to run the installer. Follow the prompts to install the update.

Installing application support for TEPS/TEMS
For each monitoring agent installed, you must install agent-specific application support on IBM Tivoli Monitoring components. You can choose to install application support on all components at one time, or you can install the application support on components separately. If you are installing components separately, the following order is recommended:

  1. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
  2. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
  3. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client
  4. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Browser client (for Linux and UNIX Only)
The procedure for installing agent-specific application support on the components is similar to installing the monitoring agent. The main difference is to select the application support components required.

It is recommended that all TT components, agents, and support, be brought up to the same revision level as soon as is practical.
Note: When you are installing application support any IBM Tivoli Monitoring components on the current machine is automatically stopped, including any Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. Follow the Starting and stopping servers and agents guide to manually stop IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents and infrastructure. Warn other users before you are beginning the installation.

Performing the necessary tasks after installation

A successful installation modifies the ITCAM for TT version to 7.4.0.1.54. Ensure that the Version of Transaction Reporter and Transaction Collector in the MTEMS is '07.40.01.54.

Cinfo/MTEMS report the following agent version:
07.40.01.54

On Windows, The installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM_HOME\InstallITM\

On Unix, The installation logs are written to the following directory:
ITM_HOME/logs/

Uninstalling if necessary

If you choose to uninstall, the entire product will be removed. 

On Windows, use the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs to remove the product.

On UNIX, use the following script to remove the product. 
ITM_HOME/bin/uninstall.sh
