IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Remote Execution and Access

The Startup Center uses Remote Execution and Access (RXA) to establish a connection with a remote computer. RXA is an IBM developer toolkit that provides classes and methods to create an application that can establish a connection with a remote computer, log on to a remote computer, run commands and scripts on a remote computer (including installation and uninstallation), and manipulate the remote computer's files and directories.

RXA does not require the remote computer to have a software agent, such as the Tivoli management agent, installed on the remote machine. Instead of relying on a remote agent for communications with a remote computer, RXA provides access to the remote machine by using rsh, rexec, SSH, Windows (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System), and AS/400 host server protocols.

The default connection timeout setting for RXA in the Startup Center is 180000 milliseconds. You can alter this setting by changing the CONNECTION_TIME_OUT setting located here:

You must restart the Startup Center after you change this setting.
