Installing the backup aggregation ObjectServer

Use the following steps to install the backup aggregation ObjectServer AGG_B, and apply the SQL customization. If the ObjectServer is already installed and running, you can apply the SQL customization to the ObjectServer by using the aggregation SQL file provided.

About this task

To install and configure the ObjectServer:

Procedure

  1. Install Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus and ensure that all components are selected for installation.
  2. Ensure that the $NCHOME/etc/omni.dat or %NCHOME%\ini\sql.ini file is configured with all the component details.
  3. For UNIX operating systemGenerate the interfaces file as follows:

    $NCHOME/bin/nco_igen

  4. Initialize the ObjectServer AGG_B and include the SQL import file to be applied to this ObjectServer:

    $NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_dbinit -server AGG_B -customconfigfile $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/objectserver/aggregation.sql

    The properties file, and default database tables, data, users, groups, and roles are created for the ObjectServer. The SQL customization is also applied. If the ObjectServer name ends in _B (as per the naming conventions), the BackupObjectServer property is automatically set to TRUE and the corresponding automations required by the backup ObjectServer are enabled.

  5. Start the ObjectServer AGG_B:

    $NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_objserv -name AGG_B &

    The ObjectServer is confirmed as initialized and entering a RUN state.

Applying the SQL customization to a running ObjectServer

About this task

To apply the SQL customization when the ObjectServer is already installed and running, apply the aggregation SQL file against the ObjectServer AGG_B, as follows:

For UNIX operating system$NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_sql -server AGG_B -user root –password password < $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/objectserver/aggregation.sql

For Windows operating system"%NCHOME%\omnibus\bin\isql" -S AGG_B -U root -P password -i "%NCHOME%\omnibus\extensions\multitier\objectserver\aggregation.sql"

It is assumed you are logged on as root with a preferred password.

Tip: In the $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/objectserver directory, the aggregation_rollback.sql script is provided to roll back the changes that the aggregation.sql script makes to the ObjectServer, if required. You can apply this rollback script by using the nco_sql or isql utility with the syntax shown for applying the aggregation.sql script.
