Updating a topology on the same DASH page

You can add a right-click menu item to the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI event list, which you can use to update an already-open Agile Service Manager Topology Viewer that is on the same page in DASH as the event list.

1. As a user with the Web GUI admin role, log into your DASH web application.
2. Open the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI tool configuration page: Administration > Event Management Tools > Tool Configuration
3. Create a new Script tool, with a script command similar to the following example:

   In this example the topology seed is a vertex name whose value is derived from the Node field in a Netcool/OMNIbus event.

   var eventPayload = {
       "name": "http://ibm.com/tip#NodeClickedOn", 
       "payload": {
           "product": { 
               "AgileServiceManager": { 
                   "resourceName": "{@Node}",
                   "hops": 2,
                   "hopType": "e2h"
               } 
           }
       } 
   };
   {$param.portletNamespace}sendPortletEvent(eventPayload); 

   Tip: Use the following list of supported parameters: Table 1
4. Open the Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI menu configuration page: Administration > Event Management Tools > Menu Configuration
5. Add the tool to the Alerts menu.
6. In DASH, click Console Settings > General > Pages and create a new page.
7. Add an Event Viewer portlet and a Topology Viewer portlet to the page, and arrange them as required.
