Configuring an additional unidirectional display ObjectServer Gateway

Use the following steps to configure an additional unidirectional ObjectServer Gateway A_TO_D_GATE_3 for the display ObjectServer DIS_3. Note that installation of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus is not necessary because the gateway is configured on the same host computer as the additional display ObjectServer DIS_3.

1. Copy the multitiered property files for the gateway, to the default location where configuration and properties files are held:

   cp $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/gateway/A_TO_D_GATE.map $NCHOME/omnibus/etc/.

   cp $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/gateway/A_TO_D_GATE.tblrep.def $NCHOME/omnibus/etc/.

   cp $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions/multitier/gateway/A_TO_D_GATE_1.props $NCHOME/omnibus/etc/.

   The following files are copied to $NCHOME/omnibus/etc:

   • A_TO_D_GATE.map
   • A_TO_D_GATE.tblrep.def
   • A_TO_D_GATE_1.props

   You can use Windows Explorer to copy these files from %NCHOME%\omnibus\extensions\multitier\gateway and paste them to %NCHOME%\omnibus\etc.

2. Remove the read-only permissions from the three files, and then rename the following file:

   cd $NCHOME/omnibus/etc
   mv A_TO_D_GATE_1.props A_TO_D_GATE_3.props

   The files in the $NCHOME/omnibus/etc directory should now be called: A_TO_D_GATE.map, A_TO_D_GATE.tblrep.def, and A_TO_D_GATE_3.props.

3. Edit the A_TO_D_GATE_3.props file and change only the following lines:

   MessageLog            : '$OMNIHOME/log/A_TO_D_GATE_3.log'
   Name                  : 'A_TO_D_GATE_3'
   Gate.Writer.Server    : 'DIS_3'
   Gate.Writer.SAFFile   : '$OMNIHOME/var/objserv_uni/A_TO_D_GATE_3.store'

4. Start the gateway A_TO_D_GATE_3:

   $NCHOME/omnibus/bin/nco_g_objserv_uni -propsfile $NCHOME/omnibus/etc/A_TO_D_GATE_3.props &

   The gateway is confirmed as initialized and entering a RUN state.
