9.3 Adapter installation
The installation of the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager NetView Adapter
consists of two tasks:
? Installing and configuring the adapter on your NetView server. Most of the
required steps are performed by an installation script. We will describe the
sample installation in our lab environment in 9.3.1, “Installing the NetView
part of the adapter” on page 292.
? Executing a script on the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager database
server to upgrade a few database tables. The data will be used by the IBM
Tivoli Business Systems Manager common listener. You can find these
installation steps in 9.3.2, “Installing the TBSM part of the adapter” on
page 293.

9.3.1 Installing the NetView part of the adapter
The NetView part of the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager Adapter is
available as a single tar archive. Put the file into an empty directory on the target
system and issue a tar command to split the archive into its components. After
splitting the file, you should see three files in the directory you chose, similar to
Example 9-3.
Example 9-3 Directory contents
capecod:/nv713 #ls -la
total 11856
drwxr-sr-x 2 sys sys 2560 Nov 08 10:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 28 bin bin 1024 Nov 14 13:12 ..

To install the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager adapter you need root
permissions. This is normal, as most configuration tasks on NetView require root
permissions. To install the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager adapter on the
NetView Server, execute the Install.ksh script. The script:
? Extracts the files in the archive
? Places the contents of the archive into their correct locations
? Preserves existing configuration files if this is a repeat install or upgrade
? Registers the tbsmadapter daemon to NetView
A typical output of Install.ksh is shown in Example 9-4.

section is not distributed with either IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager or
the NetView adapter. Contact your IBM Tivoli representative for this.
