In addition to selecting services from the system where Agent Builder is running, you can select services from other Windows systems.
To select services from other Windows systems, you define a connection to the remote system. You must have credentials for the systems or they must be monitored by a Tivoli Monitoring operating system agent.
Procedure
- To define a connection, click Add in the Service Browser window (Figure 3).
The Select Connection Type window opens.

To add a Managed System connection, you require a Tivoli Enterprise Server host name, Tivoli Monitoring user name and password, and the managed system name. When a managed system is selected, the table lists the service on the remote system.
The OS agent must be running on the system you are attempting to browse and also connected to a running Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
You require a host name, user name, and password to add a Windows connection.
- Select a connection type (Windows, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Managed System) or select an existing connection to use as a template (Figure 1). The Connection Properties window opens.
- Complete the Connection Properties.
- Click Finish
- When you add a connection, you can select the connection from the Connection Name list in the Service Browser window. If the fields necessary to make the connection are not saved (for example, the password), theConnection Properties window opens and you can enter the missing information.
- For Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Managed System connections, you must connect to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server before you can enter a managed system. Enter your user name and password, and then click the Refresh (lightening bolt) icon to connect before you select the managed system.
