The ACO Enterprise System
Interface™ version 3.0 (or higher) enterprise probe earns "Ready for
IBM Tivoli®"
certification. DDL Systems has completed a rigorous IBM certification
process that validates the compatibility of the ACO ESI™ software probes
and IBM Tivoli®
Netcool/OMNIbus®
7.3 (or higher).
ACO ESI™ manages your System i 24/7 and notifies the Tivoli®
Netcool/OMNIbus® event list immediately when problems occur. These sophisticated
software probes (and gateways) provide efficient "bi-directional" event management (and
control) functions to the Netcool/OMNIbus® event list 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 IBM i 6.1 (and i5/OS). These PTF’s are included
in the latest version of the database group PTF for each respective
release.
IBM i 6.1
required PTF's (not included in cumulative package)
SI38393
See
APAR SE41176
IBM i5/OS 5.4
required PTF's (not included in cumulative package)
None
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).
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®).
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 one of the following enterprise systems; IBM Tivoli®
Monitoring
6.2 (or higher) or IBM Tivoli® Netcool/OMNIbus
7.3 (or higher).
Notice:
The 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. Monitoring your Windows servers does not
require the installation (or use) of an enterprise system software product.
