Chapter 1. Getting startedThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal is the window into your Tivoli monitoredenvironment. The portal lets you explore your enterprise in the same way thatyour browser lets you explore the Internet. Consult the topics here to answer thequestions, Where do I start? and What can I do here?.New in this releaseReview the latest enhancements to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.New in Version 6.3The following enhancements have been made to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal forVersion 6.3.Application Property Installation attribute groupThe Application Property Installation attribute group provides informationrelated to the self-describing agent installation process. See “ApplicationProperty Installation attributes” on page 428.ITM Historical Collection attribute groupThe ITM Historical Collection attribute group provides information aboutthe active historical collections that are exporting data from a location,including the metrics about each historical collection. See “ITM HistoricalCollection attributes” on page 442.Historical Export Statistics workspaceThe Historical Export Statistics workspace displays the enterprise andprivate historical exports to a Warehouse Proxy agent instance performedby a selected managed system. This workspace is available for monitoringservers and monitoring agents. See “Historical Export Statistics workspace”on page 391.Historical situationsHistorical Exports Critical, Historical Exports Failure,Historical Exports Warning, and Historical RowsCorrupted help youmanage your historical exports. See “All Managed Systems situations” onpage 263.Define symbol name/value pairs for physical or logical navigator nodesYou can now define symbol name/value pairs for physical or logicalnavigator nodes. You can then create Take Action commands that referencethese symbols. See “Navigator item properties” on page 242.Connect points in plot chartsThe plot points are connected with lines even when gaps in time arepresent. This feature is only available for plot charts. Use the Alwaysconnects points option on the Style tab.Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser support for 32 bit and 64 bit browsersThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client now supports both 32 bit and64 bit Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers on both Windows and Linuxplatforms. Support for the most current Extended Support Release versionsof the Firefox browser is now available. Support for earlier versions ofFirefox prior to version 3.6 are no longer supported in the IBM TivoliMonitoring 6.3 release. Copyright IBM Corp. 2005, 20131
Java 7 supportThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal now uses IBM Java 7 as the default JRE for alldeployment modes: desktop, browser, and Java WebStart. Use of IBM Java5 is no longer supported in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3 release.Ability to access multiple IBM Tivoli Monitoring domains from a single browserinstanceIt is now possible to connect the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to multiple IBMTivoli Monitoring domains from a single browser instance. Prior to release6.3, if you needed to manage multiple domains using the Tivoli EnterprisePortal, you were required to either launch separate browser instances (onefor each domain), or use alternate client deployment modes (such as adesktop client or Java WebStart).Minor changes were also made to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal for contentimprovements.New features and capability enhancements were made to the Tivoli ManagementServices. For more information, see the following publications on the IBM TivoliMonitoring Information Center topic/com.ibm.itm.doc 6.3/welcome.htm):IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's GuideIBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup GuideTivoli Management Services architectureThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal is based on a client-server-agent architecture.ClientThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal client is a Java-based user interface for viewing andmonitoring your enterprise network. Depending on how it was installed, you canstart Tivoli Enterprise Portal as a desktop application, a web application throughyour browser, or Java Webstart, which downloads the installable software from theTivoli Enterprise Portal Server, installs it, and then makes it available as a desktopapplication.ServerThe Tivoli Enterprise Portal client connects to its application server, the TivoliEnterprise Portal Server. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is a collection ofsoftware services for the client that enables retrieval, manipulation and analysis ofdata from the monitoring agents on your enterprise. This server connects to theTivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, which acts as a collection and control point foralerts received from the monitoring agents, and collects performance andavailability data. The main, or hub, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server correlatesthe monitoring data collected by agents and remote servers and passes it to theTivoli Enterprise Portal Server for presentation and your evaluation.AgentTivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents are installed on the systems whose applicationsor resources you want to monitor. The monitoring agent collects the monitoreddata, and passes it to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to which it isconnected. The client gathers the current values of the monitored properties, orattributes, and displays them in views. It can also test the values against a2IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide
threshold and display an event indicator when that threshold is exceeded.Tivoli Enterprise Portal windowUse this topic to familiarize yourself with the elements of the Tivoli EnterprisePortal window.The Tivoli Enterprise Portal window displays information about monitoredresources in your enterprise. On the left is the Navigator, which shows thearrangement of your monitored network and allows you to access informationcollected by different agents on your monitored systems. On the right is aworkspace. The workspace can be divided into as many smaller frames, or panes,as you can reasonably fit inside the window. When you select an item in theNavigator, a new workspace opens with a set of views for that item.The window comprises the following elements:Title barIn browser mode (as shown), the title bar shows the name of theworkspace.In desktop mode, the title bar shows the name of the workspace, the nameand port number of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and the user name.For example, NT Cache Details - mars:14000 - JONDO tells us that the NTCache Details workspace is open and the user JONDO is connected to theTivoli Enterprise Portal Server named mars through port number 14000.BannerThe banner is displayed when you run Tivoli Enterprise Portal in browsermode. You can replace it with your own .GIF graphic, such as yourcompany logo. For more information, see the IBM Tivoli MonitoringAdministrator's Guide.Menu barTivoli Enterprise Portal has a menu bar that includes the following fourmenus:FileThe File menu has options for working with workspaces, setting atrace, and exiting the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. The Trace Optionsare used only as instructed by a IBM customer supportrepresentative.EditThe Edit menu has editing options for workspace properties,historical data collection configuration, policies, situations, userIDs, queries, and object groups.ViewThe View menu has options for opening other workspaces for aNavigator item, hiding or showing the toolbars and status bar,refreshing the data in this workspace, turning off sound for events,and for opening other Navigator views.HelpThe Help menu opens the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Help, a10-minute tour to give you some hands-on experience, and links tothe IBM website.Also available are menus that open when you right-click an item in theNavigator or a view in the workspace.Chapter 1. Getting started3
In browser mode you can also use the browser menu bar, which isdisplayed just below the title bar.If your user ID does not have View or Modify permission for a function ordoes not have Workspace Author Mode permission, you will not seecertain items in the menus, including the pop-up menus. For example, ifyou have no Workspace Author Mode permission, the Properties menuitem is not displayed.ToolbarYour user ID requires Workspace Author Mode permission to create andmaintain workspaces, including links.The toolbar has four tool groupings:Returns to the previous workspace. Click the list button to see and select from ahistory of workspaces as they were opened. The selected workspace refresheswith the most recent sampling data from the agent. This icon is not available inbrowser mode. Use the Back tool in your browser instead.Moves forward to the next workspace. Click the list button to see and select froma history of workspaces that were opened after this one. The selected workspacerefreshes with the most recent sampling data from the agent. This icon is notavailable in browser mode. Use the Forward tool in your browser instead.Desktop mode only: Opens a new Tivoli Enterprise Portal window.
