Configuring OOBC

Use this information about Netcool Configuration Manager to configure OOBC.

OOBC system prerequisites
You must ensure that the configuration of devices, OOBC and syslogd meets certain requirements in order to allow communication between these components. Devices need to send syslog messages when their configuration is changed, and send the syslog messages in a format that will be parsable by the OOBC daemon.
OOBC default configuration file
The oobc.properties.xml file is the default configuration file for the OOBC software.
Configure out-of-band change
The <out-of-band-change> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that define some administrative XML information as well as XML schema name space.
Configure monitor
The <monitor> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that control the basic behavior of the OutOfBandChange daemon.
Configure Netcool Configuration Manager server
The <intelliden-server> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that define all of the parameters required to communicate (via the API) with the Netcool Configuration Manager server.
Configuring HTTPS
You must perform extra steps in order to configure OOBC to use HTTPS for communication with the Presentation Server.
Configure syslog users
The <syslog-users> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that define user IDs.
Configure syslog match
The <syslog-match> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that describe how the OutOfBandChange daemon should parse the syslog file.
Configure actions
The <actions> section of the oobc.properties.xml file contains the elements that describe the different synchronization actions that can be invoked.
