The purpose of this workshop is to teach students to install IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) for Response Time Tracking and to enable transaction monitoring of composite applications. This will include installation of the primary IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking components, the management server, management agents and Store and Forward agents. Additionally, students will enable monitoring of actual user transaction experiences.
