This section describes how to download and install RTView® Enterprise Monitor.
The SL Download Center provides access to either the full RTView EM suite, or the RTView EM platform only with separately downloaded RTView 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 RTView EM Solution Packages.
rtvapm_std_<version>_<date>.zip is the standard RTView EM platform only. After installing the RTView 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 RTView EM platform, you can download and install licensed Packages of your choice at any time.
To install the RTView EM 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.
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 you click Next to perform the final decompression.
Use -a with unzip.
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.
To access online help for any of the Monitor displays select the help ? button in the top right corner.
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.
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.
