The Administration and Monitoring Console and Action Manager

Understand the newly designed Administration and Monitoring console, deployed in the Integrated Solutions Console, and review improvements for the Action Manager

Administration and Monitoring Console overview

The Administration and Monitoring Console (AMC) is a web-based application for monitoring and managing remote TDI solutions. Use the Administration and Monitoring Console to start, stop and manage configs and AssemblyLines remotely. IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator also ships an Action Manager with the Administration and Monitoring Console. The Action Manager is a stand-alone Java application that interacts with the Administration and Monitoring Console database and uses the Directory Integrator remote server API to manage remote AssemblyLines. The current Action Manager, bundled with IBM TDI 7.1 Administration and Monitoring Console, supports TDI 7.1, TDI 7.0, TDI 6.1, TDI 6.1.1 and TDI 6.0. Note that the Action Manager for IBM TDI 7.1 supports Directory Integrator versions 6.1 and 6.0 with some restrictions. Versions prior to 6.0 are not supported.

The IBM TDI 7.1 Administration and Monitoring Console user interface is deployed into the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC). The Integrated Solutions Console is a GUI framework for deploying portlet-based administrative consoles. The Integrated Solutions Console comes in a standard edition (SE) and in an advanced edition (AE).

Administration and Monitoring Console and Action Monitor enhancements and new features

• The IBM TDI for version 7.1 has been enhanced to allow for a directed, graceful shutdown of AssemblyLines and the Server. The shutdown options in AMC have been enhanced to allow you to specify this specific option.

• AMC has seen general usability improvements to improve consumability and comply with the Web UI Guidelines and Tivoli Navigation Initiative.

Action Manager

Action Manager provides a framework for configuring actions to occur when certain conditions, defined in triggers, are satisfied in the Administration and Monitoring Console. There are no specific new Action Manager features, apart from bug fixes, implemented in IBM TDI version 7.1.
