Committing a version of the agent
Commit your agent when you are certain you are finished developing this version of the agent and you are ready to deliver it.
For more information about the Agent Editor and Agent Information page, see The Tivoli Monitoring Agent Editor.
Tivoli Monitoring systems require that new versions of an agent include all of the information that is contained in the previous versions of that agent. Including all information from previous versions is necessary so workspaces, situations, and queries continue to work with a mixture of old and new agents. After you complete developing and testing an agent, you must commit the agent.
There is a limit of 1024 versions.
Procedure
- Open the Agent Editor window, Agent Information page.
- In the Commit Agent Version area, click commit this level.
- Back up the committed agent or check it into your version control system.
What to do next
After you commit an agent, any additional changes to the agent are part of a new version. You must enter the new version number before the additional changes can be saved. Any changes to the new version must not break compatibility with previous versions of the agent.
After you commit the agent, you cannot complete these actions on objects that existed before the agent was committed:
- Delete attributes from an attribute group.
- Delete attribute groups.
- Reorder existing attributes in an attribute group.
- Reorganize existing attribute groups (by using Navigator items).
- Move attribute groups or navigator groups into or out of subnodes.
- Rename attribute groups.
- Rename attributes.
- Change data types of existing attributes.
- Change a subnode name or type if it contains an attribute group that existed before the agent was committed.
- Change a company identifier or agent identifier for the agent.
- Change the product code of the agent. See (Change the product code).
You can complete the following actions after you commit the agent:
- Add new attributes to existing attribute groups.
- Add new attribute groups.
- Reorder new attributes.
- Organize new attribute groups by using navigator items.
- Create new subnode types.
- Add new queries.
- Add new situations.
