Gateway quick start guide

This section describes how to start the gateway with the minimum required configuration and assumes that you already have a version of Netcool/OMNIbus installed and configured.

To start the gateway with the minimum required configuration, use the following steps:
  1. Install the gateway.
  2. Edit the gateway properties file and set the following options:
    MessageLevel : 'debug'
Server : 'NCOMS'
    Where NCOMS is the name of the ObjectServer.

  3. Edit the $NCHOME/etc/omni.dat file to include the ObjectServer information.

  4. Run the $NCHOME/bin/nco_igen command to generate the interfaces file.

  5. To check that the ObjectServer is available, run the $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_ping server command.

    For example, %OMNIHOME/bin/nco_ping NCOMS

  6. Start the gateway.
  7. Check the log file to confirm that events are being sent.
Note: The quick start guide is only to start the gateway with the minimum configuration necessary. To run the gateway in the most productive manner possible for your environment you should review the gateway configuration and property values.
