Configuring integration with Netcool Configuration Manager

After installing the products, you can configure the integration between Network Manager and Netcool Configuration Manager.

User role requirements
Certain administrative user roles are required for the integration.
Installing the Dashboard Application Services Hub components
For integrated scenarios, Netcool Configuration Manager provides the following Dashboard Application Services Hub components: The Activity Viewer, the Dashboard Application Services Hub wizards, and the Netcool Configuration Manager thick-client launch portal.
Configuring separate database types
Under certain circumstances, such as when different or remote databases are used in an integrated environment, you must complete extra database configuration steps.
Configuring integration with Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
Ensure that you have Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library (NcKL) Enhanced Probe Rules for Netcool Configuration Manager installed on your Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus server.
Configuring integration with Network Manager
Copy a number of jar files from the Network Manager GUI server into the Netcool Configuration Manager instance of WebSphere®.
Configuring device synchronization
You configure device synchronization to enable Netcool Configuration Manager to use Network Manager for network device discovery.
Configuring the Alerts menu of the Active Event List
You must add access to the Activity Viewer from the Active Event List by configuring the Alerts menu.
Migrating reports
If you have custom Reporting Services reports in an existing Netcool Configuration Manager installation, and are integrating with Network Manager, which has its own Reporting Services solution, you migrate your custom reports from the stand-alone to the integrated version of Reporting Services.
Configuring Single Sign-On for Netcool Configuration Manager
The single sign-on (SSO) capability in Tivoli®® products means that you can log on to one Tivoli application and then launch to other Tivoli web-based or web-enabled applications without having to re-enter your user credentials.
