# Fill in the items in the Modify Application Wizard dialog:
## Select the protocol used to access your Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server (http or https)
## Change the host name from "changeme" to the hostname or ip address that will resolve to your Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server
## Change the port from "16316" to the port number of your Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server
# Click on the Integrations tab
# In the Explorer, under Packages, expand the ibm.itnmip_pimD tree and click on the Sample target. Confirm that the information you entered is displayed for your Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server
# Under the Sample target, click on the Home channel. A login prompt should be displayed.
# Log in using the same credentials you would use for accessing the Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition application in a browser. Confirm that the Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition Home page is displayed.

=== Create Channels ===

After installing the Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition PIM, and configuring access to the host Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server, perform the following steps to create channels to display Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition content:

# Click on the Applications tab
# Right-click on the name "sample" in the row labeled "IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition" and select a channel type
# In the "Channel Name" box, enter the name you want to give to the new channel
# For "Channel Type", select "3rd Party Pims"

=== Known Issues ===

The following known issues are associated with this PIM:

*The contents of the Seed, Password, Full Discovery Agents and Partial Discovery Agents tabs on the Network Discovery Configuration page does not load properly in Firefox via Home channel. This issue is not seen in Internet Explorer.
Workaround: This functionality works fine when accessed through Network Discovery Configuration channel.
*If an instance of Hop View or Structure Browser channel is created with a space in the channel's name, the corresponding applet on that page fails to load.
Workaround:The channel should be created without having any space in its name.
*For all channels, the context help page accessible via the Portal help button on the Channel bar does not load the related CSS and images properly.
*In Firefox, the background colour is gray in the following channels: Management Database Access, Network Views, Structure Browser, SNMP MIB Browser, Network Discovery Status and Network Discovery Configuration. This issue is not seen in Internet Explorer.

=== License Usage ===

In order for the AppBoard/enPortal administrator to configure the ibm.itnmip_pimD PIM, the AppBoard/enPortal license.properties file must include licensing for at least one ibm.itnmip_pimD server. The administrator can create one additional host ("target") in AppBoard/enPortal for each server license included in the license file.

Each AppBoard/enPortal user maintains one user session with the Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server. The Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition application must be licensed to support the number of users that will be accessing the application through AppBoard/enPortal.

=== Version Support ===

The following matrix details the supported Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition and compatible AppBoard/enPortal versions:

== Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition Upgrades ==

=== Upgrading from an older version of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition to Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.9 ===

Older versions of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition are not supported by this PIM, so this upgrade path is not supported

=== Upgrading from Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.9 to a newer version of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition ===

Perform the following steps when the Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.9 server is upgraded to a newer version of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition:

# Check the AppBoard/enPortal PIM online documentation to see if the new Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition version is supported by the existing ibm.itnmip_pimD PIM
## If the new Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition version is supported by the existing PIM that you have installed, perform the following steps:
### Click on the Applications tab
### Right-click on the row for the old Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition server and select "Modify"
### Update the protocol, host, and port to reference the server where the new version of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition is running
## If the new Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition version is not supported by the existing PIM that you have installed, perform the following steps to upgrade the PIM:
### Download the new PIM version from the PIM download site
### Follow the steps in the Installation section above to install and configure the new PIM version
### Re-create all Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition channels to reference the new PIM
### [Optional] Perform the steps outlined in the Uninstall section below to remove the old PIM from the system
