Loading BMC PATROL for Web Services Monitoring

Installing BMC PATROL for Web Services Monitoring places the knowledge module files into the PATROL directory, but it does not place them into the PATROL Console. You must load the files into the PATROL Console so that the BMC PATROL for Web Services Monitoring applications, commands, and parameters appear in the PATROL Console. 

Before you can begin using the BMC PATROL for Web Services Monitoring Knowledge Module (KM), you must first load the KM with a PATROL Console. In this section, follow the instructions that apply to your console.
