<p>Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) was an old flagship of the Tivoli product

<p>Functionality is OK but the quality of the interface (TEC console&nbsp; 
which is a very primitive Java application) is low. For the last 5 years 
it can be called extremely low quality and I am wondering about IBM inability 
to adapt to TEC a much better interface which is readily available in Lotus 
Notes. </p>

<p>Now with Netcool/Omnibus considerably overlapping functionality (and Micromuse 
acquisition providing a completely different SQL-style correlation engine) 
IBM was forced to chose sides. And it did. TEC is scheduled to be discontinued 
in September 2012 but probably will exist for several more years and key 
functionality (Prolog engine) might some day migrate to some open source 
software.&nbsp; </p>

<p>I will not be surprised if&nbsp; because of migration difficulties and 
complains they will provide some level of support after this date too. Defection 
are also possible: IBM multiple acquisitions of widely different product 
with overlapping and incompatible correlations capabilities (candle and 
Netcool) has left enterprise customers vary about&nbsp; the consistency 
of IBM&#39;s long-term vision. Migration from TEC to any of those is not an 
easy task to say the least.&nbsp;&nbsp; For complex ruleset migration to 
BMC Event Manager might be much easier as it shares more with TEC (being 
common descendant of the original TEC) and uses prolog as a correlation engine 
and BAROC for&nbsp; event structure descriptions. See
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://documents.bmc.com/products/documents/38/98/83898/83898.pdf">
Migrating_to_BMC_Event_Manager.doc </a></p>

<p>TEC is not very user friendly as it uses pretty obscure language (<a href="../../../Lang/prolog.shtml">Prolog</a>), 
but at least it is programmable. Semantic is complex and can be learned 
only gradually.&nbsp; Some things in TEC still look strange even after several 
years of experience. For example rules for closing rules via messages is 
one such example -- it looks like it closes the last opened message of the 
same type, not the first (oldest) one). Complex tasks generally requires 
either consultants or bright people among staff.&nbsp; Unfortunately, 
often a simple 
task requires the same :-). </p>

<p>TEC was really an innovative solution at the time it was released (around 
1996 or more then fifteen years ago)&nbsp; and while definitely outdated still contains several interesting implementation ideas. Among them:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Usage of a standard programming language (<a target="_blank" href="../../../Lang/prolog.shtml">Prolog</a> 
	which proved to be a mixed blessing) as an inference engine. Still, Prolog 
	is superior of ad-hoc solutions used in such products as Omegamon and 
	Micromuse. </li>
	<li>Self-modifiable events (for example auto-closing of events)</li>
	<li>Multi-stage correlation and message filtering with gateway operating simpler&nbsp; <b>
	<a target="_blank" href="State_correlation_engine/index.shtml">state 
	correlation engine</a></b></li>
	<li>Usage of inheritance in event description (via Baroc)</li>
	<li>Usage of Perl 4 interpreter on endpoints as a part of standard environment 
	for every platform</li>
</ul>

<p>Internal architecture was pretty innovative in 1994-1996 when it was 
designed (at this time servers have on average 64 megabytes of memory, CPU 
speed was around 0.1GHz and 1G drive was a pretty large and expensive drive. 
)&nbsp; It many ways TEC defined the field of large enterprise event processing.&nbsp;
</p>

<p>Now many architectural decision look old, the structure of the events 
with fixed length field looks somewhat ugly and with scripting languages 
and HTTP protocol CORBA became meaningless in this particular domain...
</p>

<p>The TEC event server architecture consists of

<p>An additional process, the UI server process, plays an integral part 
in the overall Tivoli Enterprise Console architecture. The UI server is 
not a part of the event server, although it communicates with the event 
server. Each process has its own log file. </p>

<p><font color="#FF0000"><b>The most prominent feature of TEC is the usage 
of Prolog interpreter for writing rules and performing correlation.</b></font> 
While it was probably&nbsp; fashion-based solution (Prolog was all-scream, 
top fashion thing in 80th) in retrospect the decision to use Prolog interpreter 
as the correlation engine looks like a mixed blessing. </p>

<p>On the plus side we need to admit that: </p>
<ul>
	<li>Prolog is programming language and that alone put Tivoli above many 
	&quot;click-click-click&quot; GUI-based ad-hoc solutions when people reinvent 
	the bicycle in too many ways to describe and with too low quality to 
	enjoy. </li>
	<li>Also TEC created many interesting approaches to event processing 
	that have value even it is gone. </li>
	<li>Controversial but pretty interesting usage of&nbsp; <b>
	<a target="_blank" href="Baroc/index.shtml">BAROC</a> </b>as the events 
	structure definition language. BAROC is closely related to C&nbsp; and 
	as such the description has the flexibility limited to C structures 
	programming.<ul>
		<li>While it provide adequate set of data types and that ability 
		to reuse simpler events in constructing more complex events (this 
		is actually include or macro mechanism, not real inheritance), the 
		structure of the message is fixed and types of the fields are fixed 
		too. </li>
		<li>This proved to be less limiting then one might think and viewing&nbsp; 
		events as user-defined structures with &quot;fixed base set of attributes 
		(slots) instead of&nbsp; &quot;universal&quot; event is a good approach.
		</li>
		<li>Still it is not clear why SMTP-style header mechanism cannot 
		provide the same benefits with more flexibility and less overhead 
		for developers.&nbsp; And of course HTTP based mechanism would be 
		more modern and flexible. </li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>On the minus side non-procedural programming does not give it much advantages 
and Prolog does not have the power of modern scripting languages. To be 
fair we need to admit that Prolog was extended by IBM in a rather clumsy 
way to allow some level of procedural programming.&nbsp; But still this 
is programmable (which is better then open) solution as Prolog is a established 
standardized programming language. It&nbsp; also makes TEC a very rare example 
of a widely deployed expert system (although most Tivoli users does not 
utilize advanced capabilities of the Prolog engine).&nbsp; Prolog can be 
a good query language but only for top-level specialists. </p>

<p>If used by highly skilled Prolog programmer such an engine is a powerful 
tool. But most Tivoli administrators are not Prolog programmers and have 
difficulties using the rules engine. It is also rather difficult to use 
correctly as the number of documents and number of pages in each document 
are large but useful information is very scarce (IBM docs contain 66% or 
more of fluff). </p>

<p>An important caveat here is the phrase &quot;to use correctly&quot;. TEC is an 
expensive platform that requires (as many complex systems do) expert developers 
and system architects to build true world-class solutions. Those costs are 
non-productive costs which IT department needs to bear. Moreover without 
a proper understanding of the underlying architecture of TEC and Prolog, 
it is possible to develop only a primitive event tracking applications which 
might be done quickly with much less effort and expense by using any
<a target="_blank" href="../../system_monitoring.shtml">open source monitoring 
package</a> like <a target="_blank" href="../../Monitoring/mon.shtml">mon</a>,
<a target="_blank" href="../../Monitoring/zabbix.shtml">Zabbix</a>,
<a target="_blank" href="../../Monitoring/nagios.shtml">Nagios</a>,&nbsp; 
etc.&nbsp; that&#39;s why the return on investment in a typical TEC shop is 
low to&nbsp; marginal -- the complexity eats all the benefits. for simpler 
envirments But with experts&nbsp; the TEC platform brings can be a competitive 
advantage to the company as you can do things that other companies cannot...&nbsp;
</p>

<p>The first rule of TEC deployment is to offload Prolog engine from the 
most basic processing, like duplicates removal. A cleaner architectural 
solution is to use two level event filtering with the gateway-based filtering 
(non-Prolog based) performing routing filtering tasks and aggregating events 
and Prolog processing on Tivoli server level devoted only to really important 
and reasonably rare &quot;derivative&#39; events&nbsp; (two level solution might 
also necessary from the availability point of view as Prolog engine is incapable 
to withstand even a mild &quot;event storm&quot; ).</p>

<p>The second rule of TEC deployment is to structure TEC rule base in such 
way that each rules set process only specific type of messages or several 
closely related types. That permits to implement a &quot;master select statement&quot; 
in event processing and use pretty complex rule-bases without fear that 
the engine becomes too overloaded.&nbsp; </p>

<p>TEC uses&nbsp; <b><a target="_blank" href="Baroc/index.shtml">BAROC</a>
</b>as the events structure definition language and as such the description 
has the flexibility limited to C structures programming. In other words 
the structure of the message is fixed and types of the fields are fixed 
too. This proved to be less limitation that one might think.&nbsp;&nbsp;
</p>

<p>Minimum configuration TEC is just $3K and using Linux-based deployment 
and logadapters you can monitor any number of servers you wish without breaching 
the license. Essentially using endpoints on log-aggregation servers and 
converting events from some open source monitoring solution into TEC event 
via some kind of bridge permits using TEC correlation engine at minimum 
additional costs. That means that TEC might make sense even for mid-side 
corporations who have&nbsp; IT specialists that can learn Prolog and which 
have need and desire to do complex correlation of events to minimize noise 
and make event processing more useful for the corporation. </p>

IBM - 3.9.0.5-TIV-TEC-0052 IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Version 3.9 Interim 
Fix</a></h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>This interim fix provides files to enable running of the IBM Monitoring 
	Agent for the Tivoli Enterprise Console. </p>

	<p>Date: 8/31/2006
<p>
	General Description: This interim fix provides critical updates to the 
	TEC Server to support the enablement of the IBM Monitoring Agent for 
	Tivoli Enterprise Console. This agent provides monitoring of the TEC 
	server components and event flows as well as Situations, Workspaces, 
	and Take Action commands in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP). 
	The TEP monitoring environment is provided to TEC customers by a limited 
	use license of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.1 components. The TEC Health 
	Agent is provided to TEC Customers.
<p>
	Please see the Patch Readme and Health Agent Readme for more information. 
	Additionally, the Tivoli InfoCenter has been updated with the User&#39;s 
	Guide for the Health Agent.
<p>
	<br>
	The Health Agent is available via Passport Advantage: <br>
	<a target="_blank" href="http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/services/cwepassport.nsf/wdocs/passporthome">
	http://www-142.ibm.com/software/sw-lotus/services/cwepassport.nsf/wdocs/passporthome</a>
<p>
	Current TEC customers will go to the Passport Advantage site like they 
	normally do and put in their subscription number and then be presented 
	with their entitled products. The part numbers for the Health Agent 
	images are: C944JML, C945XML, C945YML, C94MIML, C94MJML.<br>
	Refer to e-assemblies: CR0YQML (AP) and/or CR0YPML (non-AP).
<p>
	Additionally, there is a new &quot;Tivoli Monitoring for TEC&quot; User&#39;s Guide 
	in the TEC InfoCenter:<br>

IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Event Repository Query Tool</a></h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>This tool is a command line utility which runs under UNIX and the 
	BASH shell under Windows. It takes the command line arguments, validates 
	them, builds an SQL query, runs the &quot;wtdumper -w&quot; command with the query, 
	and formats the output based on command-line switches. </p>

	<p>The command line arguments consist of sets of event attribute names, 
	and the value to search for in the database. A display parameter is 
	also required.</p>

	<p>For example, the following command will search the event repository 
	for all TEC_Notice events with a hostname of host1, and will display 
	all matches:</p>

	<p>./query_er.sh -class TEC_Notice -hostname host1 -da </p>

	not familiar with the IBM products covered in this Redpaper, we provide 
	a brief overview of Tivoli Directory Integrator, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, 
	and Tivoli Enterprise Console. We then cover the integration with Netcool/OMNIbus 
	and describe an architectural overview and the implementation, installation, 
	and configuration for Tivoli Directory Integrator integration with Netcool/OMNIbus. 
	Similarly, we discuss the integration with Tivoli Enterprise Console 
	and describe an architectural overview, and the implementation, installation, 
	and configuration for Tivoli Directory Integrator integration with the 
	Tivoli Enterprise Console. We discuss additional details about the EIF 
	EventSender component, because it represents a key component that was

IBM - Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.9.0 Feature Option 1</a></h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>This add-on to the Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.9.0 product adds support 
	for event sources using the Web Services protocol and integration with 
	the Common Event Infrastructure. </p>

	<p>The Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.9.0 product supports a large number 
	of event adapters and event sources, ranging from SNMP traps to events 
	coming from products such as Tivoli Business Systems Manager.
<p>
	The Tivoli Enterprise Console Feature Option introduces three major 
	components: </p>
	<ul>
		<li>(1) an additional event adapter for event sources using Web 
		Services invocations; </li>
		<li>(2) an extension to a Common Event Infrastructure event server 
		running inside a WebSphere Application Server to enable event forwarding 
		directly to a Tivoli Enterprise Console server; and </li>
		<li>(3) a Web Services event receiver for a Common Event Infrastructure 
		event server running inside a WebSphere Application Server</li>
	</ul>

	<p>The new event adapter is called the <font color="#FF0000"><i><b>Enterprise 
	Console Web Services Adapter</b></i></font>: a standalone process that 
	can receive events through Web Services invocations and forward these 
	events to an Enterprise Console server. This adapter implements a subset 
	of the Web Services Notification specification, which is promoted by 
	the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards 
	(<a target="_blank" href="http://www.oasis-open.org">http://www.oasis-open.org</a>) 
	and supported by other major software vendors. This new feature allows 
	a Tivoli Enterprise Console operator to manage events produced by event 
	sources using Web Services invocations, such as event sources based 
	on the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/autonomic">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/autonomic</a>).
<p>
	As background for users still not familiar with the Common Event Infrastructure, 
	it is an integral part of the IBM WebSphere Process Server product (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps">http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps</a>) 
	and also a key event integration technology within IBM next generation 
	of products. 
<p>
	The event forwarding extension is called the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider 
	and augments the WebSphere Application Server messaging capabilities 
	with support for converting the event format used by the Common Event 
	Infrastructure to the EIF (Event Integration Facility) format used by 
	a Tivoli Enterprise Console event server. This new feature allows a 
	Tivoli Enterprise Console operator to manage events produced by event 
	sources such as the IBM WebSphere Business Monitor product (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimonitor">http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimonitor</a>).
<p>
	The Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver uses the same 
	Web Services interface used by the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter. 
	When combined with the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider, this receiver allows 
	a Tivoli Enterprise Console administrator to route events through a 
	Common Event Infrastructure event server before forwarding a copy of 
	the event to a Tivoli Enterprise Console event server. The combination 
	of these two features enables event management through the Tivoli Enterprise 
	Console graphical interfaces at the same time it also allows events 
	to be used for business process monitoring in the IBM WebSphere Business 
	Monitor product.
<p>
	More information about Common Event Infrastructure can be found at
	<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/features/cei/">
	http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/features/cei/</a>. </p>

	<p><i><b>The Tivoli Enterprise Console Feature Option requires TEC 3.9.0 
	with Fix Pack 4 or greater.</b></i>
<p>
	The Tivoli Enterprise Console Web Services, when running on a machine 
	remote from the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server, requires Java 
	(TM) Runtime Environment 1.4 and above.
<p>
	The EIF WebSphere JMS Provider and the Common Event Infrastructure Web 
	Services Receiver require the Common Event Infrastructure event server 
	installed on WebSphere Process Server (WPS). </td>

Tivoli_Advisor-Issue11</a>/ Managing cached TEC events.  By Mike Hau 
– Global Response Team EMEA</h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>This article outlines a possible solution for both Tivoli Management 
	Environment (TME) and non-TME utility agents to minimise the delay in 
	delivering events to the Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) server. The 
	aim is to facilitate normal operations, such as service level agreement 
	(SLA) evaluation and timer rule execution, within the rule base.
<p>
	It is always advisable to provide a highly available infrastructure 
	for event management. This will result in delayed delivery of the TEC 
	events as they are cached on the component that detected the failure.
<p>
	If caching occurs at the gateway/tec_gateway, automatic flushing of 
	the cached event (already built in the component) is initiated when 
	the connection to the TEC server is re-established. This is the standard 
	behaviour of the tec_gateway.</p>

	<p><br>
	<b>Introduction</b></p>

	<p>When configured appropriately, the Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) 
	server can provide a very strong event management infrastructure – even 
	for the largest IT environment. One key aspect of such an environment 
	is robust event delivery. TEC provides several features for such a fault-tolerant 
	and resilient delivery, but it requires the affected components at the 
	event source to be configured correctly.</p>

	<p>Even with careful planning and configuration for event forwarding, 
	have you ever wondered why TEC events are not seen at the TEC server 
	when expected? Or why you experience a delayed delivery of the events?</p>

	<p>This article discusses the reasons why delivery can be delayed and 
	where TEC events are cached. Possible solutions to manage this – both 
	for Tivoli Management Environment (TME) and non-TME events – are provided, 
	as well as solutions for flushing cached events when standalone utilities 
	(for example wpostemsg and postemsg) are used for event forwarding.</p>

	<p>The intent of the paper is to address some of the more important 
	aspects of design and implementation of a DB2 database system in a concise 
	manner, while referring the reader to additional references for more 
	detail. </p>

	<p>While much of this material is applicable to DB2 on all available 
	platforms, this paper specifically deals only with DB2 on distributed 
	platforms, i.e. Windows, UNIX, and Linux. The material was obtained 
	from readily available publications on DB2 and from over 18 years experience 
	with designing, developing, and tuning DB2 systems.
	<font color="#FF0000"><i><b>While DB2 specific, many of the concepts 
	are applicable to Relational Databases in general, such as Oracle and 
	Microsoft SQL Server.</b></i></font></p>

	<p>Following the tuning advice in the document will improve the performance 
	of any solution that utilizes DB2 as its backend database platform.
	<i><b><font color="#FF0000">This tuning information is extremely relevant 
	for many of the Tivoli products</font> </b></i>and solutions that use 
	DB2 databases; ITM, TEC, TPM, TCM, TSM, TSLA, TADDM, CCMDB, TDW, Monitoring, 
	Provisioning, Identify, Storage, Discovery, Directory, Warehouse, etc.
	</p>

	<p><font color="#FF0000"><i><b>By tuning the database, you will gain 
	significant performance improvements.</b></i></font> The document describes 
	in detail many of the most important aspects of DB2 database design 
	and implementation. It identifies techniques and parameters that have 
	a significant impact on DB2 performance and helps the reader focus on 
	the most important items.</td> </p>

Configuration for IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Enterprise Console event synchronization</a></h4>

<h5>OPAL paper</h5>
<blockquote>

	<p>This paper discusses the integration between IBM Tivoli Monitoring 
	6.1 and IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.9 with them working in conjunction, 
	yet exploiting their specific strengths, for the monitoring and event 
	management spaces. </p>

	<p>It describes a simple end-to-end scenario that can help someone get 
	started. It also discusses different configurations of this integration 
	based on different event loads, such that specific environments are 
	properly configured to run smoothly and efficiently without interruptions 
	to service. Some scenarios and their workarounds are also discussed 
	in case of network connectivity failure between Enterprise Console and 
	the Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 TEPS server.</td>

	STE: IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.9 Global Variables and Fact Files: 
	A Custom Solution to a Custom Problem</a></font><br>
 <p>Abstract: One of the most common challenges in a large event management 
		system is to determine where a received event should go. In small 
		TEC environments this is not a big problem, the event filtering 
		capability of the TEC console is sufficient to ensure the event 
		gets to the proper administrators. In larger environments, the event 
		filtering capability may not be the appropriate tool. Often the 
		event filter specifications become unmanageable and should there 
		be a need to reinstall or move the TEC.<br> </li>

	Redbooks - Migrating to Netcool/Precision for IP Networks --Best Practices 
	for Migrating from IBM Tivoli NetView</a></font><br>
 <p>The IBM acquisition of Micromuse Inc. in 2006 marked a major milestone 
		for IBM Tivoli software because it significantly strengthened the 
		end-to-end IBM Service Management software portfolio. As new technologies 
		emerge, the ability to manage networks and provide very high network 
		availability has become increasingly important for most organizations. 
		While the IBM Tivoli NetView product has a long history of industry-leading 
		utility, the addition of Netcool/Precision extends our network management 
		capabilities to include enhanced layer2 network discovery and best-of-breed 
		topology-based root cause analysis. This provides our customers 
		with the most comprehensive, real-time understanding of their network 
		infrastructures and the fastest possible resolution of network problems. 
		While significant focus is being placed on enhancing the ease of 
		installation and use of coming versions of Netcool/Precision, IBM 
		will continue to protect our NetView customers&#39; investments and 
		intends to provide a smooth upgrade path to a future converged network 
		management product offering. This IBM Redbook will help companies 
		determine if they should migrate now or wait. For those migrating, 
		it provides detailed instructions for planning and performing the 
		migration from IBM Tivoli NetView to Tivoli Netcool/Precision IP

How to send ITM events to multiple TEC servers Gulf Breeze Software Partners 
Tivoli Consulting Training We are Tivoli experts</a> </h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>This article credit goes to IV Blankenship.
	<a title="IBM Tivoli" style="TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/">
	Tivoli</a> documentation says there is no way to send ITM events to 
	multiple TEC servers, which is true. However, there is an intelligent 
	workaround for this problem. This article gives you an idea of how to 
	do it.
<p>
	The idea is to forward the situation events to SCE and write a custom 
	action to forward to multiple event servers. The following java class 
	shows how to send events to single TEC server, which can be tweaked 
	to send events to mulitple TEC servers by modifying the code to to accept 
	multiple sender config files. If you have any questions on how to do 
	it, please feel free to post your comments.
<p>
	The Java code can be downloaded from &lt;a href=http://www.gulfsoft.com/downloads/TECForwarder.java.zip&gt;here

Speed TEC vs. Netcool - Who processes events faster Gulf Breeze Software 
Partners Tivoli Consulting Training We are Tivoli experts</a></h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>OK, now I&#39;m treading on sacred ground...<br>
	Obviously hardware matters since both are CPU driven applications, but 
	assuming we&#39;re dealing with like hardware, the answer is <b>it depends</b>...
<p>
	<b>TEC</b>
<p>
	IBM has published benchmarking speeds of the TEC rule engine (a while 
	ago with TEC 3.8 FP whatever running on AIX) at <b>~65 events per second</b>.
<p>
	How did they come to derive this number? They start a timer when events 
	are flowing at TEC and stop the timer when the CPU on TEC goes below 
	5% used.
<p>
	Is that a good measurement? Maybe, but IMHO not a good way to tell whether 
	the rule engine is really done processing an event, that&#39;s for sure. 
	It would be better to actually measure whether the event is PROCESSED 
	in the reception log to really know when th TEC is around ~65 events 
	per second. Of course that is without running any real rules against 
	the incoming events. Another factor to consider is I.V., who as we all 
	know has achieved 300+ events per second using his non-tme rule engine.
<p>
	<b>Netcool Omnibus</b>
<p>
	Based on what I&#39;ve heard in the past from MicroMuse when asked how fast 
	Omnibus processes events, I&#39;ve heard <b>&quot;thousands of events per second&quot;</b>. 
	When we drilled deeper and asked more questions, we were told those 
	were <b>&quot;raw&quot;</b> events and it&#39;s more like <b>&quot;hundreds of events per 
	second&quot;</b>. What is unclear is whether these events were acted upon 
	by any rules (i.e. is this merely event reception speed). Unfortunately, 
	I don&#39;t have any hard benchmarking numbers to share at this point until 
	I get my hands on Netcool code.
<p>
	So based on this, it really depends on a number of factors such as what 
	kind of rules are you running against your events, how you tell when 
	an event is &quot;processed&quot; by the rule engine, and whether or not you are 
	I.V. ;-) </p>

IBM - Upgrading the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Version 3.9 Web console 
component</a></h4>

<blockquote>

	<p>Use the following instructions to upgrade the Web console component 
	of the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (ITEC) Version 3.9 product. These 
	instructions apply to all ITEC fix packs (These instructions use Fix 
	Pack 3, 3.9.0-TEC-FP03, as an example.)
<p>
	Use the files from the NON_TME/GENERIC/WC directory of the fix pack 
	and perform the following steps:
<p>
	1. Copy tecrimds.jar to the AppServer/TEC directory of the WebSphere 
	Application Server installation, overwriting the existing file.
<p>
	2. Update the TecConsoleEar.ear file from the WebSphere Administrative 
	Console:
<p>
	a. In the panel on the left, click the plus sign (+) next to Applications, 
	and then select Enterprise Applications.<br>
	b. In the panel on the right, check the box next to TecConsoleEAR. Click 
	Update.<br>
	c. Check Local path or Server path, depending on where the 3.9.0-TEC-FP03 
	version of TECConsoleEAR.ear is located. Enter the path to the 3.9.0-TEC-FP03 
	version of TECConsoleEAR.ear in the appropriate path field. Click Next.<br>
	d. At the &quot;Preparing for the application update&quot; panel, accept all defaults 
	and click Next.<br>
	e. At steps 1, 2 and 3 of the &quot;Install New Application&quot; panel, accept 
	all defaults and click Next. Please note that none of the options are 
	checked in step 2, including the TecConsoleWeb option. This is the expected 
	behavior, and there is no need to select the TecConsoleWeb option in 
	this step.<br>
	f. At step 4 of the &quot;Install New Application&quot; panel, click Finish.<br>
	g. Once the application is installed, click the &quot;Save to Master Configuration&quot; 
	link.<br>
	h. When prompted to &quot;Click the Save button to update the master repository 
	with your changes&quot;, click Save.
<p>
	3. Use the winrar utility to extract tecra.rar to the AppServer/InstalledConnectors/tecra.rar 
	directory of the WebSphere Application Server installation, overwriting 
	the existing files and folders.
<p>
	The fix pack installation is complete. Restart WebSphere Application 
	Server, the event server, the UI server, and all consoles. </p>

	<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Tivoli Enterprise Console can be rightly 
	called the flagship of the Tivoli product line because it is the focal 
	point of events from all Tivoli products. The new version of TEC will 
	bring very important usability and performance enhancements such as 
	Java-based TEC Console and Availability Intermediate Manager (AIM).
	
<p>
	This redbook introduces the new Tivoli Enterprise Console V3.7, covering 
	the installation, tailoring, and configuration of the console itself 
	along with an overview of the new Availability Intermediate Manager 
	(AIM) feature. Richly illustrated with examples and sample screens, 
	Early Experiences with Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.7 is an invaluable 
	resource for customers and Tivoli professionals, whether they will migrate 
	to TEC 3.7 from a previous version or implement it from scratch.
<p>
	This book will help you to use the new rules templates bundled with 
	TEC V3.7 as well as the Tivoli Decision Support for Event Management 
	Guide. It also provides an invaluable troubleshooting guide that provides 
	both general and specific tips for debugging and optimizing the new 
	console.</font></p>
