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.

About this task

To configure the unidirectional display ObjectServer Gateway:

Procedure

  1. For UNIX operating systemCopy 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

    For Windows operating systemYou 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.
