Ready for IBM Tivoli®

The ACO Enterprise System Interface™ version 3.0 (or higher) enterprise agents earn "Ready for IBM Tivoli®" certification. DDL Systems has completed a rigorous IBM certification process that validates the compatibility of the ACO ESI™ software agents and the IBM Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring system. The ACO Enterprise System Interface™ manages your System i 24/7 and notifies the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server immediately when problems occur. These sophisticated software agents provide efficient "bi-directional" event management (and control) functions to the TEPS event console and support full "end-to-end" enterprise systems management capabilities for all of your connected System i servers.

The basic ACO ESI™ architecture is shown in the diagram below:

Your system may require installation of IBM PTF’s to ensure proper operation of the ACO products. Several important IBM PTF’s are required to properly run certain SQL statements based on the installed version of i5/OS (and IBM i 6.1). These PTF’s are included in the latest version of the database group PTF for each respective release. We STRONGLY recommend that you put in place a process to regularly obtain (and apply) the latest cumulative PTF, HIPER group PTF, and database group PTF packages to your System i (and AS/400) system(s).

All DDL Systems enterprise systems management products earn IBM's "Ready for Power Systems" validation. Learn more about this IBM validation and what it means to your business.

Hardware Requirements

Requires one standard System i V.24 SDLC communications line and one ECS (or Hayes® compatible) modem (or a properly configured SMTP e-mail connection to the Internet). Works with all alphanumeric and two-way pagers, properly equipped cellular phones, and smartphones (like BlackBerry®).

Software Requirements

ACO PAGER™, ACO NET™, ACO ESI™, and ACO CLIENT™ execute on System i® systems (all models) running V5R4M0 (or higher). ACO Client™ requires WebSphere® Application Server 6.1 (or higher), WebSphere® Application Server - Express, or any Java 1.4 (or higher) compliant web application server like Apache. ACO ESI™ requires a separately licensed copy of ACO PAGER™ and a separately licensed copy of IBM Tivoli® 6.2 (or higher) or BMC Patrol Enterprise Manager®. Your enterprise system software may also require the purchase of other hardware and licensed software. This hardware and software is available from IBM (or other business partners) at an additional fee and is not included in the purchase of the ACO ESI™ software product. ACO ESI™ optionally monitors your network connected Windows® servers using a Windows compliant software agent. The Windows® agent software is available for purchase (at a nominal fee) from one of our business partners. This particular configuration does not require an enterprise system (like IBM Tivoli®).
