Gateway for Message Bus
The IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Gateway for Message Bus reads Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus events from an ObjectServer and then converts these events to Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. The transformer module then converts these events from XML format to another format that you specify. The transport module then forwards these events to the target application.
You can configure the gateway to operate in one of two modes of operation: standard mode or IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis (LA) mode:
- When you configure the gateway in standard mode, you specify which
one of the following transport modules to use:
- Java Message Service (JMS)
- Data file
- Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT)
- Multi-Channel HTTP Transport
- HTTP/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol/HTTP Secure)
- Socket
- Kafka
- When you configure the gateway in LA mode, you use the SCALA transport module.
In summary, the default or recommended way of determining which
mode of operation you use is as follows:
- Standard mode operation
- Create a server (using the Server Editor
nco_xigen
) namedG_XML
. - Locate the gateway Name property in the supplied default properties file, G_XML.props.
- Specify the value
G_XML
for the Name property (which matches the name of the server name created withnco_xigen
).
- Create a server (using the Server Editor
- LA mode operation
- Create a server (using the Server Editor
nco_xigen
) namedG_SCALA
. - Locate the gateway Name property in the supplied default properties file, G_SCALA.props.
- Specify the value
G_SCALA
for the Name property (which matches the name of the server name created withnco_xigen
).
- Create a server (using the Server Editor
Configuration details and other information pertinent to installing, configuring, and running the gateway are described in the following sections:
Note: The gateway can also be used with the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe
for Message Bus.
If you want to use the gateway with the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe
for Message Bus,

installing or configuring the gateway.
