TNPM 1.3.2 support for IE9 and Firefox ESR10

This link explains how to add support for Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox ESR10, but it is quite old.

I've just installed the last fixpacks for TCR and TIP and the steps I followed can be seen below:

Download the necessary packages

From IBM fixcentral download the following (please match the correct bit set for your installation):
  • Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager 1.3.2.0-TIV-TNPM-IF0042
  • Tivoli Integrated Portal 2.2.0-TIV-TIP-Linux64-FP0011
  • Tivoli Integrated Portal 2.2.0-TIV-TIP-FITSuit-FP00011
  • Tivoli Common Report 2.1.1.0-TIV-TCR-Linux64-FP2


Install in the following sequence (mandatory)


1) Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager 1.3.2.0-TIV-TNPM-IF0042

      Follow the instructions here

2) Tivoli Integrated Portal 2.2.0-TIV-TIP-Linux64-FP0011

      Follow the instructions on the 22011-fixpack-guide-PDF.pdf file (downloaded together with the packages from fixcentral)

3) Tivoli Common Report 2.1.1.0-TIV-TCR-Linux64-FP2

      Follow the instructions on the TCR211_FP2_Readme.txt file (downloaded together with the packages from fixcentral)

NOTE1: If for any reason you want to install using the console mode (Install.bin -i console), it still requires a valid DISPLAY set.

NOTE2: If for any reason you want to install using the silent mode (Install.bin -i silent -f <response_file>), you will not see any output at all on the shell, but the fix pack will run. You can follow up the process using the logs on <TCR_home>tipv2Components/TCRComponent/logs
