  The following is an image of preparing for a handout. Files can be edited and molded in any working directory.

  1. Arrange JP1/IM - Agent installer.

  2. Install JP1/IM - Agent on the JP1/IM - Manager host in the development environment and obtain the file to be distributed.

  3. If necessary, after editing the obtained file (definition file), form the file to be distributed into a format that can be distributed.

For details on the requirements for the distribution, refer to the explanation of the requirements for the distribution in "Notes" in "5.15.1 Obtaining a Distribution (File download)" in the manual "JP1/Integrated Management 3-Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference".

• Starting Distribution of the Distribution

  The following is an image of the start of distribution of the handout.

  1. Store the distribution in the default directory of JP1/IM - Manager.

  2. If the JP1/IM - Manager service is stopped after storing the distribution, start the JP1/IM - Manager service.

     If the JP1/IM - Manager service is already running, you do not need to restart the JP1/IM - Manager service.

  3. Notify users of the handout that they have started distributing the handout.

• Obtaining Distributions

  The following is an image of the acquisition of handouts after receiving notification of the start of distribution of handouts. As an example, OSS curl command is used to obtain distribution.

  1. Create an arbitrary working directory.

     - When the monitored host is in a Windows environment

     mkdir C:\home\work

     - When the monitored host is in a Linux environment

     mkdir /home/work

  2. On the console, navigate to the working directory.

     - When the monitored host is in a Windows environment

     cd C:\home\work

     - When the monitored host is in a Linux environment

     cd /home/work

  3. Use the curl command to issue an API for obtaining the distribution (file download) (authentication method is Basic authentication).

     - When the monitored host is in a Windows environment

     curl -f -X GET -O -u jp1admin:jp1admin "http://JP1/IM - Manager-host-name:Intelligent-Integrated-Managemen-Base-port-number/download/Name-of-the-directory-where-the-distribution-is-stored/File-name-of-the-distribution-for-Windows"

     - When the monitored host is in a Linux environment

     curl -f -X GET -O -u jp1admin:jp1admin "http://JP1/IM - Manager-host-name:Intelligent-Integrated-Managemen-Base-port-number/download/Name-of-the-directory-where-the-distribution-is-stored/File-name-of-the-distribution-for-Linux"

If the handout retrieval is successful, the handout is stored in the working directory.
