Note:
The Rational Integration Support (RIS) installer is also included in the Windows image of this interim fix. The package RIS supports RPT/RFT 10.5.1 script export. To run RPT/RFT 10.5.1 Rational scripts, ensure that T6 playback agent version 7.4.0.1.64 or later is installed on your machine.
Installing
Download any of the following files based on your operating system or package:
- AIX: 7.4.0.1-TIV-CAMRT-AIX-IF0064.tar
- Linux: 7.4.0.1-TIV-CAMRT-Linux-IF0064.tar
- Windows: 7.4.0.1-TIV-CAMRT-Windows-IF0064.zip
- Solaris: 7.4.0.1-TIV-CAMRT-Solaris-IF0064.tar
- Extract the 7.4.0.1-TIV-CAMRT-Windows-IF0064.zip file to a temporary directory (for example C:\temp\7.4.0.1-IF0064).
- You can install this fix either by using the installation wizard or by using CLI for silent installation.
- Using the wizard installation GUI:
a. Run the setup.exe command and to start the Installation Wizard. The setup.exe is located in the WINDOWS directory in your temporary directory.
For example:
# C:\TEMP\7.4.0.1-IF0064\WINDOWS\setup.exe
b. Follow the instructions on the Installation Wizard panels and respond to each option that corresponds to TEMA agent upgrade.
Default values are provided. You can select or specify different options based on your environment settings. On some panels where you cannot leave any field blank, you need to provide appropriate values.
Note: During the installation, you can choose to add TEMA to TEMS depot to enable remote installations on the platform that you are adding to the depot. - USING THE SILENT INSTALL CLI.
a. Prepare the silent installation file to configure appropriate values for the installation program. These values will be used while running the installation process.
The silent installation configuration file is located in the Windows directory of the directory image. (For example, C:\TEMP\7.4.0.1-IF0064\Windows\silent.txt)
b. Edit the silent installation file to provide appropriate values for the required configuration. By default, all options are commented out, and the installer uses the values from the previous TEMA configuration.
For more information about the silent installation options available for TEMA agent, refer to the ITCAM for Transactions V7.4.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Refer to the following chapter in the product documentation for further instructions on the use of the silent installation features for this maintenance package:
Perform a silent install of a monitoring agent (Windows)
In environments where TEPS and RT TEMA agents coexist on the same ITM instance, when you update TEMA, an option to restart the computer is displayed. You must install the support packages for TEPS first, then restart TEPS, before restarting the computer as part of the TEMA update.
- Download the Unix/Linux upgrade package and extract it to a temporary directory (For example, /tmp/7.4.0.1-IF0064).
- You can install this fix either by using the installation wizard or by using CLI for silent installation.
- USING THE SCRIPT BASED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE.
a. Run the install.sh to start the Installation Wizard. The install.sh command is located directly in the root directory of the upgrade image.
For example:
# /tmp/7.4.0.1-IF0064/install.sh
b. Follow the instructions on the Installation Wizard panels and respond to each option that corresponds to TEMA agent upgrade. You can select or specify different options based on your environment settings. On some panels where you cannot leave any field blank, you need to provide appropriate values.
Note: During the interactive installation, enter "2" when the following query appears:
Do you want to check prerequisites for the above components? [ 1=Yes, 2=No ; default is "1" ]c. After the Installation Wizard completes, you must configure your agents.
This is done by running the ITM itmcmd command as follows:
$ITM_HOME/bin/itmcmd config -A <AGENT_TYPE>Where <AGENT_TYPE> is t3, t5 or t6
For example, to configure the Robotic Response Time agent (t6), run the following command:
# $ITM_HOME/bin/itmcmd config -A t6- USING THE SILENT INSTALL CLI.
Prepare the silent installation file to configure appropriate values for the installation program. These values will be used while running the installation process.
Refer to the following section of the product documentation for additional information about using the silent installation in Unix/Linux environments:
Perform a silent install and configuration for a monitoring agent (UNIX or Linux)
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 plan to install application support on components separately, then ensure that you install agent-specific application support on the components in the following order:
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client
- 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 required application support components.
Note: When installing application support, any ITM components on the current machine are automatically stopped, including any TEMS or TEPS. Refer to the Starting and stopping servers and agents topic to manually stop ITM agents and infrastructure. Ensure that you inform other users before beginning the installation.
For information about step by step application support installation, see the following documentation:
Install application support for Linux and UNIX
Install application support for Windows system
Specific Installation Instructions for Agents
- T3 AMC APPLICATION MANAGEMENT CONSOLE (end user dashboard) AGENT
After installing this maintenance package, you must reconfigure the agent to initialize the agent processes with the new settings. You can reconfigure the agent either by using the MTEMS console or CLI.
<ITM_HOME>/bin/itmcmd config -A t3- T5 WRT WEB RESPONSE TIME AGENT
When you upgrade T5 agents that are monitoring local instances of the IBM HTTP Server, you must stop the IHS process before the upgrade. For all other web server instances, it is a good practice to stop the server before running the upgrade and reconfiguring the T5 agent. It is not required to stop web servers when monitoring remote transactions.
After installing this maintenance package, you must reconfigure the agent by using the MTEMS console or the CLI interface. For example:
<ITM_HOME>/bin/itmcmd config -A t5 - T6 RRT ROBOTIC RESPONSE TIME AGENT
After installing this maintenance package, you must reconfigure the agent to initialize the agent processes with the new settings. You can reconfigure the agent by using the MTEMS console or the CLI interface.
For example:
<ITM_HOME>/bin/itmcmd config -A t6
