  Enterprise Portal Server and your Tivoli Enterprise Management 
  Server, you do not need to install the application support files 
  from this DVD unless:

     >  You are using the "Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client" 
     
  If you are using the "Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop Client", you 
  will need to install only the desktop client component from the DVD 
  wherever you have previously installed the "Tivoli Enterprise Portal 
  Desktop Client".
  
- If you are installing or upgrading IBM Z OMEGAMON Network Monitor 
  V5.6.0 Application Support Files for z/OS from this image on a Windows 
  platform, during the installation process when you are presented with the 
  list to "Select the features setup will install", you should unselect
  the box labeled "Verify prerequisites".  Verification of prerequisites 
  is not applicable to this image, as this image only contains 
  application support files.

- If you are installing or upgrading IBM Z OMEGAMON Network Monitor 
  Application Support Files for z/OS from this image, you must select the 
  appropriate option as indicated below when adding application support 
  to the TEMS.

  - If you are using this DVD to add the application support files for 
    products and this is the first  time you have attempted 
    installation of the application support files for this product or 	
    if you are using this DVD to update the application support files 
    for products which were previously installed (upgrade):

    Select the "All" option which will add the default managed system 
    groups to all applicable situations. "None" is the default.

    If you are installing application support to products to a TEMS 
    running on Linux or UNIX, and you are using the command line 
    interface, specify the "ALL" option:

       cd &installHome/bin
       ./itmcmd support -f upgrade -s ALL -t tems_name pc ...

- The following message will appear during the installation of the 
  application support from this image into a TEMS running on a Linux 
  or UNIX platform:
  
  KCIIN2463W Warning: This installation media does not contain any 
  components which can be run on the current system platform 
  architecture. To install components which can run on this system, 
  please locate the installation media containing files 
  similar to *<platform>*.jar.  NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING 
  APPLICATION SUPPORT, CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALLATION TO SEE A LIST 
  OF SUPPORT FILES.

  This message can be ignored, as this image only contains application
  support files.  Press enter to continue with the installation.

- If you are using this DVD to update the application support files 
  for products which were previously installed, you may receive the 
  following warning message: 
 
    WARNING - you are about to install the SAME version of 
    product name V 5.6.0 fp:nn.nn

    Do you want to install the SAME version [ y or n; "n" is default ]?

  If you have previously installed one of the fix packs listed in    
  section 3.0 SERVICE HISTORY, you should reply "y" to this message; 
  otherwise, this message is an indication that you have already 
  applied a fix pack which is at a later level of maintenance than is 
  included on this DVD.
