Given ITM documentation and customer support guidelines, set the components KBB_RAS1 variable either statically or dynamically so that the component is being traced correctly for debugging.

Section 3: Administration
Given an IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) client connected to an IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS) V6.3, take the required actions so that the custom users can be configured.
Given a TEP client connected to a TEPS V6.3, create, modify and remove custom workspace so that Workspace is modified according to the requirements.
Given the installation predefined situations, copy and change the predefined situations so that new, customized situations are created.
Given a running IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) V6.3 environment, the ITM V6.3 Administration guide and requirements for a situation to depend on other situations, use TEP to execute the required steps so that a correlated situation is created.
Given an existing ITM V6.3 environment, the ITM V6.3 Administration guide and local requirements to automate activities through workflows, execute required steps so that customized policies can be managed.
Given a TEP client connected to a TEPS V6.3, take required actions so that links between workspaces are created or modified according to requirements.
Given agents and the attribute groups and an appropriate user ID, use the default queries with variables to run a query on Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) or a database so that a custom query is created.
Given the agent depot and bundles, populate the depot and deploy the agents so that the agents are deployed from the depot.
Given a TEP client connected to a TEPS V6.3, configure the history data collection windows so that custom history is configured.
Given an existing ITM V6.3 environment, the ITM V6.3 Administration guide and customer requirements to re-organize TEP views, edit workspaces so that Navigator views are customized.
Given a requirement to retain historical data for reporting, configure historical data collection and warehouse tables so that out-of-the-box Tivoli Common Reporting reports can be run successfully.
Given access to TEMS and the host and port of the event management system, take the required steps so that integration of managed events and event management systems is completed.
Given a TEP client connected to a TEPS V6.3, create, update and modify the routine so that a take action executes successfully.
Given a terminal window or command window, use the tacmd, cinfo, itmcmd and pdcollect command line to run administration tasks on the TEMS so that CLI commands are issued.
Given the need to use ITM V6.3 solution with the IBM Tivoli Performance Analyzer (ITPA), and the ITM V6.3 Administration guide, explain main operational features so that the ITPA is described.
