The following configuration procedures are available:
- Configure data collector communication to the monitoring agent.
- Configure the data collector to monitor application server instances.
- Unconfigure the data collector from application server instances.
- Enable, disable, or configure data collector communication to the Managing Server.

...while you can choose to create a response file, the Browse button will not be available. You will need to enter the pathname for the response file manually. The file will be saved on the host where the agent is installed.
If you configure the data collector to monitor application server instances, the instances will be restarted automatically, so that the changes can take effect. However, you may still need to perform additional tasks on the host computer after this configuration.
