Oracle TSAM Manager provides a graphical user interface to correlate and aggregate performance metrics collected from one or more Oracle Tuxedo domains and displays them in real time. It includes the following sub-components:

•	Oracle TSAM Console

•	Oracle TSAM Data Server

Installation Notes

Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) includes two components: Oracle TSAM Agent and Oracle TSAM Manager. For more information, see the Oracle TSAM Installation Guide.

Notes:

Weblogic Server version 11g Release 1 must be used.

Oracle TSAM Manager installation is not required on a node running Oracle Tuxedo.

You must ensure that Oracle TSAM Agent is properly installed and configured on each monitored node in order to be used in conjunction with Oracle TSAM Manager.

Upgrade Considerations

Monitored policy sets defined in Oracle TSAM 1.1 or Oracle TSAM 10gR3 can be exported to policy set definition files on the Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Console. The policy sets can then be imported to Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) via the Oracle TSAM Console.

Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) provides a migration tool to import alerts defined in Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3.

Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) provides a migration tool to migrate database schema from Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) to Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) .

If upgrading Oracle TSAM Agent from 1.1/10gR3 to 11gR1 (11.1.1.2), you need to change the URL defined in CLOPT of LMS from //host:port/tsam/dataserver to //host:port/tsam.

Interoperability

Please note the following:

•	Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) maintains full interoperability with Oracle TSAM 11.1.1.1.0.

•	Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) Manager can monitor Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent.

•	Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) Manager can report performance metrics (except for Domain Gateway), and alerts collected by Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent.

•	Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) Manager cannot monitor Oracle Tuxedo node status (domain, machine, group, server and service) collected by Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent.

•	Policies and alert definitions defined using Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) console cannot work on an Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent node. Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) Agent can work with Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent in MP and Domain modes.

•	In Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent, UBB LMS configuration requires the following, URL: //host:port/tsam/dataserver.

•	You cannot define policies for Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent in the Oracle TSAM 11.1.1.2 console. you must use the TMMONITOR environment variable or the tmadmin cho command to define Oracle TSAM 1.1/10gR3 Agent compliant policies.
