Location

For stand-alone servers, select Local if CEI is installed on the stand-alone IBM® Business Monitor server. For network deployment servers, select Local if CEI is installed in the same cell as IBM Business Monitor.

For stand-alone servers, select Remote if CEI is installed on a different server. For network deployment servers, select Remote if CEI is installed in a cell other than the cell that contains IBM Business Monitor. If you select Remote, you must also enter the host name and RMI port.

Host name

Enter the host name of the stand-alone server, or the host name of the deployment manager where CEI is installed.

The host name can be specified as localhost if the CEI server is installed on the same physical machine as the IBM Business Monitor server.

RMI port

Enter the RMI port number of the stand-alone server or the deployment manager where CEI is installed.

To determine the RMI port number, click Servers > Server Types > Application servers > server_name > Ports > BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS in the administrative console.

Select Enabled if security is enabled on the CEI server. Select Disabled if security is not enabled.

If you select Enabled, enter a user ID and password that is valid for the IBM Business Monitor server. The user ID must also exist on the remote CEI server, although the password can be different on the remote server.
Note: If security is enabled on the CEI server, global security must also be enabled on the IBM Business Monitor server. You will not be able to configure CEI if global security is disabled.
