Results
After your user credentials have been verified, the Welcome
page for the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI is
displayed in the Dashboard Application
Services Hub console
window. This window has a navigation pane on the left with a set of
nodes for accessing the functions that you want to perform. The work
area on the right typically displays the current page that you are
working on, and contains one or more Web applications or portlets,
each in its own portlet window with a title bar.Note: While you are
logged on to the console, avoid clicking the browser Back button
to go to the previous Web page because you will be logged out automatically.
Click Forward and you will see that you are
logged out and must resubmit your credentials to log on again.
What to do next
After installation, the Dashboard Application
Services Hub administrator
must typically create one or more Web GUI administrative
users with permissions to modify Web GUI settings.
The Dashboard Application
Services Hub administrator
can also create additional users with varying access permissions.
Roles and groups are associated with each Web GUI user.
Roles are used to assign permissions to users, and groups can be used
to logically categorize users with common functional goals. In
your test environment, you will create one user, assign roles to the
user, and then log on as this user to view events generated in the
Active Event List.
