IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Start the browser client on another portal server
Start a separate instance of your browser and log on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server of a different managed network to see two managed networks from the same computer.
Your managed network can have one portal server and one hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. You can log on to the portal server through the Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
Before starting the browser client instances, take these steps on each computer where a portal server that you want to connect to is installed.
Procedure
- In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services, right-click the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server entry and select Reconfigure.
- In the Configure Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser window that opens, double-click the cnp.browser.installdir parameter.
- In the Edit Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser Parm window that opens, enter the path to the directory where the browser files should be installed, for example, C:\\temp\\cnpBrowserFiles.
- Select the In Use check box and click OK.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Change to the directory where applet.html is located: install_dir/platform/cw, where platform is the current type of operating system.
- Open applet.html in a text editor.
- Find the line, <!--END OF PARAMS--> and add a new line above it.
- On the new line, add this parameter where browser_install_dir is the path to the directory where the browser files are installed.
document.writeln( '<PARAM NAME= "cnp.browser.installdir" VALUE="browser_install_dir">' )
Save and close applet.html.
What to do next
If you are using Internet Explorer, launch each instance of the portal client that you want. If you are using the Firefox browser, you must create a separate profile for each instance that you intend to start. The Mozilla support site has a topic on Managing Profiles (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles) that you can refer to for help with setting up profiles. After creating the profiles, launch each instance with this command <full_path_to_firefox> -p <profile_name> -no-remote
