IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Windows - Install the Embedded Java Runtime and the User Interface Extensions
On nodes where only the Windows OS agent has been installed, either locally or remotely, the Embedded Java Runtime and the Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions (the KUE component) are not also installed by default.
If you later decide to install an Agent Builder agent on this node, you may not be able to reconfigure this factory agent, and you may receive the error shown in Figure 1.
This error also may occur when you attempt to run a tacmd CLI command on nodes where either the Embedded Java Runtime or the User Interface Extensions are unavailable.
If this happens, install the Embedded Java Runtime and the KUE component. Complete one of the following procedures, depending on the installation method you are following:
- local GUI installation
- Select Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions from the list of features to install.
- local silent installation
- Uncomment this line in the silent response file:
;KUEWICMA=Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions
- remote installation
- First ensure that component UE has been added to the server depot. Once the UE component is available, from the command-line, perform a tacmd addsystem command, specifying -t UE as the component to install.
