Initiating in the Agent Service Interface
Use the Agent Service Interface to initiate Centralized Configuration by submitting the configuration load list as a request.
Complete these steps to enter the configuration load list as a request in the Agent Service Interface.
Procedure
- Open a browser and access the agent's Service Index with the URL, http://hostname:1920 or https://hostname:3661, where hostname is the fully-qualified name or IP address of the computer where the monitoring agent is installed.
- Click the IBM Tivoli pc Agent Service Interface link for the agent, where pc is the two-character product code.
- As prompted, enter the user name and password. The ID must be a member of the Access Authorization Group Profile's Administrative group on the central configuration client agent.
- Select the link to the Service Interface Request.
- Paste the contents of the configuration load list XML file into the Agent Service Interface Request text box, then submit the request.
What to do next
