Configuring Tivoli Inventory for UMA

•  The UMA Custom installation allows you to install the Tivoli Management Agent (TMA) version 3.6 on  the client, thereby making the client a Tivoli Endpoint.
•  You can add the UMA inventory data to the native Tivoli inventory.
   The UMA program creates a static MIF file named UMATIVOLI.MIF. When the UMA profile is distributed to subscribers of the Tivoli  Management Region (TMR) server, the UMATIVOLI.MIF file is automatically created on each client workstation.
•  The UMA program provides ready-made queries for all of the UMA inventory data. The queries  appear as icons under the Policy Region on the TMR server.

Prerequisites

Before you can access the UMA inventory data through the Tivoli tools, you must have the following:

•  TME 10 Framework, version 3.6 or higher (with Desktop).
•  TME 10 Inventory, version 3.6 or higher.
•  A Policy Region must exist in the TME Desktop.
•  QueryLibrary, ProfileManager, and InventoryProfile must be listed as current resources. To verify:
  1.  From the Policy Region window, click on Properties
  2.  Click on Managed Resources.
  3.  In the Current Resources field, verify that QueryLibrary, ProfileManager, and InventoryProfile  are listed. If InventoryProfile is not listed, you need to install TME 10 Inventory (see the version  requirements above). If QueryLibrary and ProfileManager are not listed, you must add them.  Refer to the TME 10 documentation for instructions.

•  The client workstations must be running either the TMA 3.6 or the PC Agent 3.6. TMA allows you to  work with the clients as Tivoli Endpoints. The PC Agent allows you to work with the clients as PC  Managed Nodes.
