3 Configure the Management Agent and Deploy the Sybase ASE Plug-in

This chapter describes how to configure the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Management Agent to allow for monitoring of the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) target.

The following topics are described in this chapter:

• Configure the Management Agent to Deploy the Plug-In

• Deploying the Plug-in

Configure the Management Agent to Deploy the Plug-In

To configure the Agent, you must first ensure that the user starting the Agent service belongs to the Local Administrators Group. Also, you must set the preferred credentials on all Agents where you want to deploy the plug-in. Follow the instructions below to configure the Agent:

• Assigning Advanced Privileges to User

• Setting and Validating Preferred Credentials

Assigning Advanced Privileges to User

(For Microsoft Windows ONLY.) To assign advanced privileges in a Microsoft Windows environment, do the following:

1. Locally on the Microsoft Windows node hosting the Agent, check that the user starting the Agent service belongs to the Local Administrators Group. If not, then add it.

2. Open the Local Security Settings Windows Tool and give the following Advanced Privileges to the user starting the Agent service:

   • Act as part of the operating system

   • Adjust memory quotas for a process

   • Logon as batch job

   • Replace a process level token

3. Restart the Agent service if it is running.

4. Set the Preferred Credentials for the Host and the Agent in Cloud Control. For more information, see Setting up the JDBC Driver.

   • The OS user set in the Preferred Credentials must belong to the Local Administrators Group.

   • This OS user must have the following Advanced Privileges:

     • Act as part of the operating system

     • Adjust memory quotas for a process

     • Logon as batch job

     • Replace a process level token

Setting and Validating Preferred Credentials

To set the preferred credentials on all Agents where you want to deploy the plug-in, do the following:

1. In Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, from the Setup menu, select Security, then Preferred Credentials.

   The Preferred Credentials page appears, showing a table of targets.

2. Select Host target type from the table and then click Managed Preferred Credentials.

   The Host Preferred Credentials page appears.

3. In the Host Preferred Credentials page, in the Target Credentials section, select the host that is running the Management Agent where the plug-in has to be deployed, and click Set.

4. In the Select Named Credential dialog box, Select Credential as New and specify the user name and password and click Test and Save. If your test runs successfully, your credentials are set correctly.

5. Run the OS Command job for the Management Agent where the plug-in has to be deployed.

   • Log in to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

   • From the Enterprise menu, select Job and then Activity.

   • In the Job Activity page, from the Create Job list, select OS Command, and click Go.

   • Fill up the details required in the following pages, and click Submit to run the job. If the job runs successfully, your credentials are set correctly.
