 1  Topology visualization web application accesses the topology
The topology visualization web application accesses data in the NCIM database.
 2  Event information requested
The topology visualization web application requests event information from the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI.
 3  Network operators visualize network topology
A network operator uses a web client to connect to the topology visualization web application and display Network Hop View, network views, and structure browser views. Multiple users can connect to the topology visualization web application.
