Installing the Web GUI

About this task

On the same computer where you installed the non-Web components of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus:

Procedure

  1. You can install the Web GUI with the IBM Installation Manager GUI or console, or do a silent installation. Installing and updating the Web GUI component describes the available options for installing the Web GUI with IBM Installation Manager.
  2. After the Web GUI is installed, you can start a tool that performs postinstallation configuration. You can also configure the Web GUI in silent mode. If you do not run the postinstallation configuration utility you can perform all the tasks manually.

    The tool creates a single data source that is called "OMNIBUS,". You need to specify the host and port number, and the user name and password for that ObjectServer. The tool uses the ObjectServer for user authentication and creates default Web GUI users and groups in that ObjectServer. After the tool finishes configuring the product, the server is automatically restarted.

    The initial password for default user accounts, for example ncoadmin and ncouser, is netcool. You should change this password in a production environment.

What to do next

You can now log on to the Dashboard Application Services Hub console. (Note that the Dashboard Application Services Hub Server starts automatically after it has been installed and whenever the computer is started.)
