Installing the bootstrap package on UNIX

Although most shells can be used with MainView Middleware Monitor, many of the script files are written for the Korn shell.

1. In the command prompt, set your working directory to the directory where the agent installation resides (agents in suggested directory layout).
2. Verify that the MQS_HOME system environment variable has been configured (see Configuring the MQS_HOME system environment variable for the Default layout).
3. Unzip the bootstrap package.
4. Change to the agent directory.
5. Copy QPTTAB.DAT to the directory you defined for the MQS_HOME system environment variable. This file is needed if any of your transactions must have their message format CCSID converted. If you are unsure if any of the message formats must be converted, you should still add this file to the system environment variable directory.
6. To make qpea executable, open a command window and enter for example chmod +x qpea.
7. Start the TMTM Extensible Agent: qpea --start
8. Change to the bmmtm-agent/bin directory.
9. Start the Configuration Agent, enter: agent –-start
   Note that the secure tunnel and service connection information were pre-configured in the bootstrap and the Extensible Agent should connect unless additional Secure Tunnel certificate configuration is required. See Post core component installation and configuration for details.
10. (Optional) Using cron or the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, configure the MVMM Extensible Agent and MVMMConfiguration Agent to start automatically when the computer is restarted.
