Assuring compatibility

Assuring compatibility

The following guidelines assure master agent compatibility:

Only one master agent is provided, usually EMANATE, for each UNIX™ platform type.
The subagent that works with the master agent is also provided with the database server.
In some cases, the platform vendor also supplies a master agent that works with the subagent provided with the database server. This is generally true only if the platform vendor supplies the same type of master agent as that provided with the database server and if the version number of the vendor-supplied master agent is greater than or equal to that of the version provided with the database server.
Only run one instance of a master agent on a platform. You can run multiple instances of subagents, including multiple instances of onsnmp, if multiple database server instances exist.
HCL Informix® subagents can coexist with subagents that platform or third-party vendors supply if all the subagents share a common, compatible master agent.
