Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

where for example, is Maestro's
mstream.

If there is no entry for ITO in

SYSSTART.PUB.SYS

, the automatic

software installation will insert an entry for ITO in

SYSSTART.PUB.SYS

where the major parts look like this:

comment ... OperationsCenter

OPCSTRTJ.BIN.OVOPC

❏ The executable library,

SNMPXL.NET.SYS

, must be available, and

ITO must have execution rights; if not, the ITO Monitoring Agent will
not operate.

❏ The TIMEZONE variable must be set to correct differences between

the different time resources used by ITO’s C-routines and MPE’s
intrinsics and commands; if not, messages and error and trace logfiles
receive the wrong creation time stamp. This can cause problems when
working with multiple management servers.

Insert the following call at a global location, for example the logon
UDC or

SYSSTART.PUB.SYS

:

call: setvar TZ,”TIMEZONE”

❏ Patch MPEKXE5B must be installed on all MPE/iX 6.0 systems. This

patch adds routines to the system SL.PUB.SYS that the console
interceptor requires to operate. This patch may be incorporated into
