4. If the Precise for Web FocalPoint is installed on UNIX/Linux, copy the .SO files from the directory to which you unzipped the downloaded file to: <i3_root>\products\www\bin directory on your Precise for Web FocalPoint server.
5. Make sure the gateway port between the Precise for Web FocalPoint and the SAP Application Server is open in both directions. The gateway port is 33xx, where xx has to be replaced by the instance number of the SAP Application Server.
6. Maintain the SAP communication ports the services file in
   • Windows. %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services

7. Replace the following <SID> and <instance-number> with the values from your environment:
   sapms<SID> 36<instance-number>/tcp
sapgw<SID> 33<instance-number>/tcp
sapdp<SID> 32<instance-number>/tcp

DB2 DB2

DB2

The additional requirements for DB2 are:

• Refer to the Precise Support Matrix for information on supported DB2 versions and FixPak levels
• Precise software components are installed on each monitored DB2 server. You require a dedicated Precise OS user to be created on each monitored server. The name "precise" is used as an example. 
  • Windows. On Windows, generally a domain user is created, who is then granted local administrator permissions as required on monitored servers.
  • UNIX. For UNIX servers, you need to create a Precise user on every monitored server. For monitored DB2 servers, create the Precise user as follows:
    • Non-null password, not containing special characters, and has a maximum length of 15 characters
    • Connected to the DB2 SYSADM group (as reported by the DB2 GET DBM CFG command)
    • Login shell is ksh, with "dot" (.) in the Path variable
    • The shared library path (LD_LIBRARY, SHLIB_PATH, LIB_PATH) is not set in this user's environment

• For monitoring purposes, the Precise user must have the DBADM and SYSMON privileges or SYSADM privileges

  Info
  The Precise for DB2 AppTier installation creates a schema in either an existing or new tablespace. If you prefer to create a new tablespace, the user must also have DBADM and SYSCTRL privileges or SYSADM privileges.

• When monitoring DB2 on HP, make sure the database default charset isn't roman8 (CP1051)
• Close the Services window in the Control Panel if you are installing on a Windows server
