IBM Tivoli Netcool product requirements

This section describes the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library 4.8 dependencies on other IBM Tivoli Netcool products.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library 4.8 provides enhanced root cause analysis for events held within the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. As such, the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library 4.8 installation requires prior installation of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.

IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.5 or higher

Installation of IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 3.5 (or higher) is optional.

If you are using IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition in conjunction with the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, your IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition event gateway will already be configured to integrate with, and recognize, events generated by IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library 4.8. Topology-based event correlation will be enabled for those events that have been appropriately pre-classified by the rules files in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library 4.8.

Note: IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library will not enable AMOS Extended Event Recognition with versions of IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition earlier than 3.5.
