- In the Install the Agent Locally section, type the installation directory for IBM Tivoli Monitoring. The Agent Builder completes the value that is found in the CANDLE_HOME environment variable. If this variable is not set, the default value for Windows, C:\IBM\ITM, is displayed.
The check boxes are enabled as follows:
- Install the Agent
- Is enabled if the Agent Builder detects an appropriate TEMA in the location specified. Appropriate means that the agent supports the local operating system and is the correct minimum version.
- Install the TEMS support
- Is enabled if the Agent Builder detects a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server in the location specified.
- Install the TEPS support
- Is enabled if the Agent Builder detects a Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server in the location specified.
- Select the components to install (agent, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server support, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server support).
- Click Finish.
- Configure and start the agent, see (Configure and starting the agent).
For Tivoli Monitoring v6.2 FP1 or later, you can install the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server support without restarting the servers. In this case, the Restart TEMS without credentials and Restart TEPS check boxes are active in the Install the Agent Locally section of the Generate Agent wizard. You can clear the check boxes to install the support without recycling the servers. When you clear the Restart TEMS without credentials check box, you are prompted for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server user ID and password. Enter the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server user ID and password and click Logon. If you are running Tivoli Monitoring with security off, enter "sysadmin" for the user ID, leave the password blank, and click Logon. You can also continue without entering credentials (click Logon without specifying a user ID and password or click Cancel. Doing so causes the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to be recycled).
The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server must be running to install support files without recycling the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
