IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure the Warehouse Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent using the new graphical interface
The database administrator must create an empty database that will serve as the Data Warehouse database and provide the database name, username and password to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring administrator. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring administrator creates the ODBC or JDBC Data Source using the credentials provided. Then, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring administrator must configure the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the Summarization and Pruning Agent to use the ODBC or JDBC Data Source. The Warehouse Proxy Agent uses ODBC on Windows systems. On Unix and Linux, the Warehouse Proxy Agent uses JDBC. The Summarization and Pruning Agent always uses JDBC.
You can confirm a successful configuration when the Warehouse Proxy Agent and Summarization and Pruning Agent can connect to the Data Warehouse database. To verify this, login to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop and check the state of the Data Warehouse database connectivity for both the agents. These should be displayed as green.
You need to complete the following steps for this configuration option:
- During installation, when the Configuration Defaults for Connecting to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server window is displayed, you will see the user interface for the Warehouse Proxy Agent. Select the database type and click Next.
- Enter the database connection information and adjust any other configuration parameters, then click OK.
