Starting the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server

This section describes how to start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

To start the portal server in Windows, AIX, or Linux, open the Manage Tivoli

Enterprise Services window, right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and

select Start.

For Linux or AIX, you can start a Warehouse Proxy agent from the command

line; run the following command from the bin directory of the IBM Tivoli

Monitoring installation directory. The default installation directory is /opt/IBM/ITM:

./itmcmd agent start cq

where cq is the product code for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

3.4.6 Install and configure the Summarization and Pruning agent

This section describes the steps to install and configure the Summarization and

Pruning agent on Windows, Linux, or AIX.

Install the Summarization and Pruning agent

If you want to aggregate and prune the size of the database, you need to use the

Summarization and Pruning agent. The installation process is identical to the

other agent installation. Table 3-15 on page 147 shows the steps for installing a

monitoring agent.

Warehouse user password itmpswd1 The password for the database login

user. If your environment requires

complex passwords (passwords that

require both alpha and numeric

characters), specify a password that

complies with these requirements.

Re-type warehouse user

password

itmpswd1 Confirm the password by entering it

again.

Configuring communications

This section describes how to configure the communication between a data

warehouse and the Summarization and Pruning agent.

If the data warehouse is located on a remote computer, you need to copy the

DB2 UDB JDBC Universal Driver (Type 4 driver) JAR files, included with the DB2

product installation, to the local computer where the Summarization and Pruning

agent is installed. You can copy the files to any directory on the local computer.

The Type 4 driver file names and locations are as follows:

<db2installdir>/java/db2jcc.jar

<db2installdir>/java/db2jcc_license_cu.jar

where <db2installdir> is the directory where DB2 was installed.

The default DB2 Version 9 installation directory is as follows:

򐂰 On AIX: /usr/opt/db2_09_01

򐂰 On Linux: /opt/IBM/db2/V9.1

򐂰 On Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB

After copying the DB2 UDB JDBC Universal Driver (Type 4 driver), we need to

configure it; refer to “Configuring a Warehouse Proxy agent JDBC connection” on

page 138 to complete the configuration.

JDBC connection for the Summarization and Pruning agent

Use this procedure to configure the Summarization and Pruning agent to connect

to a Tivoli Data Warehouse database created on any of the supported database

platforms and operating systems.

Steps Where to find information

UNIX server” on page 108

Note: Complete the tasks described in Table 3-15, in the order listed, to install

and configure the Summarization and Pruning agent.
