IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
You can install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server on Windows, Linux or AIX.
Follow the instructions for your operating system:
- The Tivoli Portal Server requires a database server on the same computer system as the portal server.
If you choose to use a database server other than Derby then install the database server software before installing the portal server. If you are installing the portal server on Linux or UNIX and using a DB2 database, you can optionally create the portal server database with UTF-8 encoding before installing the portal server. However, if you are installing the portal server on Windows, the Tivoli Monitoring installation program must be used to create the database.
- When you install or upgrade the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, the Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions software is automatically installed in the same directory. The portal server extensions are required for some products that use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (for example, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Service Oriented Architecture).
The Tivoli Enterprise Services User Interface Extensions software is supported on the same operating systems as the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
