To add a Tier instance

1. From StartPoint, click the AdminPoint tab.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. From the drop-down menu, select Instances & Clusters.
4. Click the All instances tree item
5. At the bottom of the Display Instances & Clusters screen, click Add Instance. An Add New Instance dialog box appears.
6. Select the required technology from the list.
7. Select the application from the list. If the desired application is not on the list, follow steps a-d:
   1. Click Add.
   2. In the Application Name field, type in the new application name.
   3. On the Application System field, select the system application from the list.

   4. Click OK.

      Info
      To install an instance in an application, you must have ADMINISTRATE.INSTALL permission for the application in which you want to install the instance. If you only have permission for a specific technology, you will only be able to install in an application that is either empty, or is comprised of only the same technology.

8. Select a Tier from the list.

9. Click OK to view the next screen.

   Info
   Always refresh AdminPoint after adding an instance.

Defining Tuxedo property settings

To define Tuxedo property settings

1. Click the drop-down menu and select the server with the Tuxedo domain. This is the name or IP address of the server where you want to install the Tuxedo Tier Collector. The server name or IP address appears in the list only if you previously defined it as a Precise server. In upgrade mode, the list contains all servers that were installed or upgraded.
2. Click Add to enter the name of a server not on the list. For more information, see Adding a new server.

3. Click the drop-down menu and select the auto-detected Tuxedo domain from the list.

   Info

   When a Tuxedo domain is detected, other text boxes will be auto-filled. If one of the editable text boxes is edited, the contents of the Detected Tuxedo domain text box will be cleared. On Windows and UNIX, Tuxedo detection is dependent on running processes. In most configurations of HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris 10, detection will be partial and will only return the instance name. This is also the case for AIX and other Solaris versions, if a specific security update is installed.

4. Enter a unique Tuxedo instance name that will enable you to distinguish between multiple instances. This is the ID of the Tuxedo software component configuration to be used with this instance.

   Info

   To obtain the Tuxedo domain ID, look for the BBL process on the server machine; then use the name following the DOM option. Alternatively, look for the UBBCONFIG file (or a file containing UBB in its name); then use the value of the DOMAINID variable in the RESOURCES section. If you are not sure what the Tuxedo domain ID is, you can use the UNIX user name running the BBL process on the server machine, or simply use an arbitrary name. In upgrade mode, this is the name of the Tuxedo domain you want to upgrade. Via the auto-detection mechanism, invalid characters for Precise may appear. This should be changed manually.

5. Enter the installation home folder of the Tuxedo information system. This is the installation home folder of the Tuxedo information system.

   Info
   To obtain the path of the Tuxedo installation folder, log in as the Tuxedo operator and check the value of the TUXDIR application variable. Alternatively, locate the Tuxedo bin folder where the BBL program is located; the Tuxedo installation folder is immediately above it.

6. Enter the full path of the configuration file of the Tuxedo information system that you plan to monitor. This is the full path of the configuration file of the Tuxedo information system that you plan to monitor.

   Info

   The Insight Savvy for Tuxedo uses this file to find the Tuxedo domain's logical name, which it needs to read data out of the domain shared memory. To find the Tuxedo configuration file, log in as the Tuxedo operator and check the value of the TUXCONFIG application variable. This is a binary file. Do not confuse it with the textual UBBCONFIG file. In a PeopleSoft installation, the name of the Tuxedo configuration file is usually PSTUXCFG. This file is located in the PeopleSoft installation folder/appserv/PeopleSoft Domain folder. For example: /home/hrprd/hrprd831/appserv/HR_PRD831/PSTUXCFG

7. Click the drop-down menu and select the Tuxedo version.

   Info
   Precise supports Tuxedo 6.5 to 10.3. To obtain the Tuxedo version number, log in as the Tuxedo operator and run the following command: tmadmin -v.

8. Click Next.

...

• Run the following commands only if they have not been previously run for other Tuxedo instances on this server and this server is a UNIX server:
  • Log in as root user and run the following commands:
    cd <precise_root>/products/insight/install
./tuxedo_root.sh

  • A Tuxedo information system can have one or more Tuxedo servers. On each Tuxedo server, you can have one or more Tuxedo domains. A Tuxedo domain has a logical definition: it is an instance holding common business units and handling client processes. The Tuxedo Tier should be installed for each Tuxedo domain. Therefore, if your Tuxedo information system has more than one domain, you should create a Tuxedo Tier instance for each domain.

    Info
    It is recommended to install the Insight Savvy for Tuxedo in each Tuxedo domain. To find out how many Tuxedo domains are running on your Tuxedo server machine, count how many BBL processes are running on this machine. On Windows, look for BBL processes in the Windows Task Manager. On UNIX, run the following command: ps -ef|grep BBL

To perform Tuxedo Tier post-installation tasks

1. In the Tuxedo Tier - Installation dialog box, click Next.
2. In the Tuxedo Tier - Post-Installation dialog box, follow the instructions to perform all post-installation tasks.
3. Click Finish.
