Configuring the collection pair

Use the steps in this section to install the X in Y solution into a Collection pair of ObjectServers.

1. Install and set up a primary and backup Collection pair of ObjectServers using the standard multitier architecture configuration.
   For more information, see Configuring and deploying a multitiered architecture in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Installation and Deployment Guide.
2. Import the xiny_collection.sql file into the primary Collection ObjectServer:
   • $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_sql –server COL_P_1 –user root < xiny_collection.sql
   • "%OMNIHOME%\bin\isql" -S COL_P_1 -U root -i xiny_collection.sql
3. Import the xiny_collection.sql file into the backup Collection ObjectServer:
   • $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_sql –server COL_B_1 –user root < xiny_collection.sql
   • "%OMNIHOME%\bin\isql" -S COL_B_1 -U root -i xiny_collection.sql
4. Copy the field mappings in xiny_GATEWAY.map to the Collection Gateway map file.
   Warning: Take a backup copy of the existing mapping file before making any changes.

   • $OMNIHOME/etc/C_TO_A_GATE.map
   • %OMNIHOME%\etc\C_TO_A_GATE.map

   The fields to add are:

   ##############################################################################
   #
   # CUSTOM alerts.status FIELD MAPPINGS GO HERE
   #
   ##############################################################################
   'XinY' = '@XinY',
   'NumXinY' = '@NumXinY',
   'XEvents' = '@XEvents',
   'YSeconds' = '@YSeconds',
   ##############################################################################

5. Copy the two included table replication files to the $OMNIHOME/etc/ directory replacing the existing files:
   Warning: Take a backup copy of the existing files before performing the copy operation.

   • 

     cp xiny_C_TO_A_GATE_P_1.tblrep.def $OMNIHOME/etc/C_TO_A_GATE_P_1.tblrep.def
     cp xiny_C_TO_A_GATE_B_1.tblrep.def $OMNIHOME/etc/C_TO_A_GATE_B_1.tblrep.def

   • 

     copy xiny_C_TO_A_GATE_P_1.tblrep.def %OMNIHOME%\etc\C_TO_A_GATE_P_1.tblrep.def
     copy xiny_C_TO_A_GATE_B_1.tblrep.def %OMNIHOME%\etc\C_TO_A_GATE_B_1.tblrep.def

   Note: Any previously made table replication file customizations must be redone in the new table replication files.
6. Restart the Collection to Aggregation ObjectServer Gateways: C_TO_A_GATE_P_1 and C_TO_A_GATE_B_1.
