Step 3: Configuring component communications

Use this step to configure communications between Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus components.

Proceed as follows:

  1. On the computer on which the primary ObjectServer is running (nchost01), run the following command to open the Server Editor window:

    $NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_xigen

  2. Configure the additional communications settings. The complete set of Server Editor entries is shown in the following table.
    Table 1. Server Editor settings - desktop ObjectServer architecture
    Server Hostname Port SSL
    DIS_1 ncdesk 4700 0
    A_TO_D_GATE_1 ncdesk 4800 0
    AGG_GATE nchost02 4500 0
    NCOBK_PA nchost02 4600 0
    NCOOS_PA nchost01 4200 0
    NCOPR_PA targethost 4300 0
    NCOSDESK_PA ncdesk 4900 0
    AGG_B nchost02 4400 0
    AGG_P nchost01 4100 0
    AGG_V

    Backup 1:

    		 nchost01

    nchost02

    		 4100

    4400

    		 0

    0
  3. Apply your changes and close the Server Editor. This creates the file interfaces.solaris2, which contains your communications information.
  4. Copy the $NCHOME/etc/omni.dat file to the $NCHOME/etc directory on nchost02, ncdesk, and targethost.
  5. Run $NCHOME/bin/nco_igen on the nchost02, ncdesk, and targethost computers to create the interfaces.solaris2 file.
  6. For the Windows computer (ncdesktop), use the Server Editor to enter the correct communications information.

All computers in your Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus installation now have the same communications information.
