Before installing, be sure to read the Requirements and
Prerequisites sections of the manual, and that your system complies
with all system requirements and prerequisites.
Some things to understand about the AVIcode uX Monitoring
Management Pack before installing are:
The AVIcode uX Management pack product consists of 2 management
packs, both of which must be imported during installation. They
are:
A sealed management pack called “AVIcode uX Monitoring
Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007”
An unsealed management pack called
“AVIcode.DotNet.SystemCenter.Client.Monitoring.Overrides”
The AVIcode .NET Enterprise Management Pack for Operations
Manager 2007 product must be installed first because the uX
Management Pack has a dependency on it.
After the uX Collector is installed, it must be configured via
the uX Collector Management Console.
The SE-Viewer location must either be set via the Intercept
Management Console or via the 'Set SEViewer location' task on uX
Collector computer in case if this computer is not included in .NET
Enterprise Agent Deployment group. These cannot be done via wizards
in SCOM Operations.
All of the instructions needed for the following steps can be
found in the the AVIcode .NET Application
Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 User Manual.
Follow the directions under Single and
Multi Server Installation Instructions to install the
Enterprise .NET Management Pack.

to be discovered
Installation of the uX Collector must be done prior configuring
uX applications. New uX collectors may be installed and configured
later on in the same way as will be described here; discovery of
applications on the new server will be started automatically after
the collector discovery interval.
Install the Collector
The Collector should be installed on the same machine that hosts
the monitored Application and the Intercept Agent, as configured in
the previous section
