Installing the Performance Tools plug-in to iSeries Navigator

You can install the Performance Tools plug-in to iSeries™ Navigator to view system resource utilization data. Before you install the Performance Tools plug-in, you should first ensure that the Performance Tools (5722-PT1) licensed program is installed. To install the Performance Tools plug-in, do the following:

1. In iSeries Navigator, right-click My Connections and select Install Options > Install Plug-ins.

2. On the Install Plug-ins panel, select the system that you want to install the plug-in from (must be a system that has the PT1 product installed) and click OK.

3. Enter your i5/OS^® user profile name and password on the Password panel and click OK. (The prompt may ask for the Windows^® password, but it needs to be the i5/OS user profile password.)

   Some Windows operating systems may require the Windows and i5/OSuser profile passwords to match.

4. A scan for plug-ins on the selected system will occur next. When the Plug-in Selection panel appears, check the Performance Tools checkbox and click Next.

5. The first time the iSeries Navigator is used after installing a plug-in, the iSeries Navigator scan panel will appear. Click Scan Now. If you do not click the Scan Now button, the plug-in that was just installed will be disabled and will not show up in iSeries Navigator.
