Installation
The SL Download Center provides
access to either the full RTView EM suite, or the RTView EM platform only with
separately downloaded EM Solution Packages. The following are delivered as .zip
files:
- rtvapm_full_<version>_<date>.zip is the full
RTView EM Platform, which includes all available EM Solution
Packages.
- rtvapm_std_<version>_<date>.zip is the
standard RTView EM Platform only. After installing the EM Platform, you can download and install
licensed Packages of your
choice at any time.
- rtvapm_<packagename>_<version>_<date>.zip
are the
RTView EM Solution Packages (such as the EMS Monitor Solution Package). After
installing the EM Platform, you can download and install licensed Packages of your
choice at any time.
RTView EM Platform
To install
the Platform, download the archive and extract the file.
If you currently have any version of RTView installed, you must
install the RTView EM platform into a directory separate from any existing
RTView installations. The same zip archives provided in the download can be used
on any supported platform. Any subsequent Packages that are used with the
Platform are also provided in a .zip
file which
should be extracted into this same directory.
NOTE: On Windows systems, using the extraction
wizard of some compression utilities might result in an extra top-level
directory level based on the name of the .zip file. The additional
directory is not needed because the .zip files already contain the
rtvapm top-level directory. This extra directory should be removed before
clicking the Next button that performs the final decompression.
UNIX/Linux
Use -a with unzip. Navigate to your installation directory, make
the file fixperms.sh executable, then execute it in the current shell (first
chmod 755
fixperms.sh, and then ./fixperms.sh).
Multi-Machine Installations
If you are using more than one host machine for your
RTView EM
setup,
extract
and install the
standard
Platform
and the required Solution Package(s) on each host. For example, if you are using a separate machine for the Central
Servers, the Display Server and the Data Collection Server, install the
standard
Platform
and the required Solution Package(s) three times, one on each of these machines.
Documentation
To access online help for any of the
Monitor displays select the ? button in the top right corner.
Application Server
If you plan to deploy through a Web-browser,
you must install the Application Server of your choice. If you are
not using Apache Tomcat, refer to the vendor Application Server documentation
for deployment instructions.
Solution Packages
After you download and install the
standard
RTView EM
Platform on the required machine, install the needed Solution Packages to
execute the Data Collection Server process that will gather the monitoring data.
The full RTView EM Platform contains all the available Solution Packages.
Each installed Solution Package creates a separate
directory in the RTView EM installation directory (rtvapm).
For example,
installing the TIBCO EMS monitor Package creates the emsmon directory (rtvapm/emsmon).
See the README.txt file, located in the
root directory of each Solution Package, for instructions about configuring and
working with the
Solution Package. Property file examples are available in the projects/sample
directory of each Solution Package.
