Enabling SDA for the first time

  
​​​​​​​Video three in the series on self-describing agents (SDA) for IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring shows you how to set up the SDA for the first time. Video three is offered as a choice between two videos depending on whether you use TA commands (tacmd) or SPUFIL|SQL commands to set up the SDA.

If you are not familiar with SDA, you can watch the first video SDA - introduction and benefits or the second video Enabling and Updating SDA for IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3.0, which provides details on installation, error messages, and component-specific considerations.
