Running the gateway

The Java Socket Gateway is configured using a properties file called G_SOCKET.props. This is a text file that contains a set of properties and their corresponding values. These properties define the operational environment of the gateway, such as connection details and the location of the other configuration files.

To run the Java Socket Gateway, run the following command:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_g_socket_java -name gateway_server_name

Where gateway_server_name is the server name of the gateway as defined in the Server Editor.

Note:

The default location for the G_SOCKET.props properties file is $OMNIHOME/etc/gateway_server_name.props. The G_SOCKET.props properties file should be copied to the $OMNIHOME/etc folder. For details of the properties and values to which you can set them, see Property settings for the operational environment of the gateway.

For details about defining the gateway server name using the Server Editor, refer to the section Configuring server communication details in the Server Editor in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Installation and Deployment Guide.
