Agent path on the device, while the location and name are
used to set the path of the ceagent.arm.CAB file on the source
host, such as C:\temp\agent.
- Import the package.
- On the Tivoli Web Gateway, stop the Device Manager Server
- Update the Device Manager database.
Note:
All pending operations
should be completed and connections to the database closed while you are performing
the following steps:
- Invoke a DB2CMD shell on the database server.
- Change directories to the Device Manager server install directory: dms_home/bin /data.
- Connect to the Device Manager database. (For example: db2 connect to
dms user dmsadmin using password).

you receive a message on the device asking if you want to install the IBM agent
again. Click OK to confirm the installation.
