Requirements

A currently supported version of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus or IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps.

The probe requires .NET Framework 3.5. If you have a later version of .Net Framework installed (for example, version 4.0), you will need to install .NET Framework 3.5 as well. Multiple .NET frameworks can exist in a single environment and will work side-by-side. The probe will still rely on .NET Framework 3.5 to run and will use the .Net Framework 4.0 library for additional support as required.

For details of any additional software that this probe requires, refer to the description.txt file that is supplied in its download package.
