Resolution:
Following are the steps to install the node agent from Policy Manager 3.0 into each installation of ActiveMatrix Service Grid 2.x. Do this step only once per Service Grid installation (that is, per TIBCO_HOME directory on each Service Grid host); it is not necessary to duplicate this step per environment nor per node.

1. In the Policy Manager 3.0 installer, specify a custom installation, enabling "Service Grid Plugin Agent". Complete the installation by clicking finish at the end of the installation.


Scenario I : If you have already created Admin Server and Environment without any node then follow the below additional steps:

    a. Sync Installation: This will add the new release units installed by Policy Manager 3.0. Go to the folder location TIBCO_HOME\amx\2.1\server\bin.
    b. Execute SyncInstallation.exe.
    c. On successful execution exe will print the following message in command prompt :
        Adding ReleaseUnit [com.tibco.policy.agent.lib.feature_2.5.0.005]
        Adding ReleaseUnit [com.tibco.soapinfra.policy_2.2.0.002]
    d. Go to the AMX Admin server and create a Node.

Scenario II : If Admin server, Environment and Node are already created, then follow the steps mentioned above (Scenario I) but replace point d. by running tibcommander to upgrade the existing Node.

        d. Change directory to TIBCO_HOME/tools/bin/.To update node1 through nodeN, execute this command line:

        tibcommander -f TIBCO_HOME/amx/2.1/server/bin/nodeupgrader.xml -Dnodes=env1/node1,...,envN/nodeN -l nodeupgrader.log

If the above steps are not performed, you will find errors similar to the one pasted below, in the Node plugin agent status and the services deployed in ActveMatrix nodes will not be discovered by the Policy Manager

Last Error     Did not find the Service Registry Service in the sphere. This could be due to an error in its initialization or just a reflection of the fact that it has not started yet.
