Obtain and install the Netcool®/OMNIbus core
components, Netcool/Impact,
and the Gateway for JDBC and Gateway for Message Bus.
All these products are installed by IBM® Installation
Manager.
You can use IBM Installation
Manager to
download the installation packages for these products and install
them in a single flow. Extra configuration of each product is required
after installation.
Procedure
-
Install the Netcool/OMNIbus
8.1.0
core components.
After the installation, you can use the Initial Configuration Wizard
(nco_icw) to configure the product, for example, create and start ObjectServers,
and configure automated failover or a multitier architecture. See related links later for
instructions on installing Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Install the Netcool/Impact GUI
server and Impact server. See related links later for instructions on installing Netcool/Impact.
-
Apply the latest supported Netcool/OMNIbus core and
Netcool/Impact
fix packs. Also ensure that you apply the appropriate IBM
Tivoli®
Netcool/Impact Server Extensions for Netcool Operations Insight® feature. This is delivered in the Netcool/Impact fix
pack.
For information on the product and component versions supported in the
current version of
Netcool Operations Insight including
supported fix packs, see
On-premises components.
The IBM
Tivoli
Netcool/Impact Server Extensions for Netcool Operations Insight feature is required for the event analytics capability. Fix packs are available from
IBM Fix Central, see
Fix Central 
.
Note: Rollback files are required for Fix Pack installations. Do not select the option to
Delete Saved Files during installation.
- Create the connection from Netcool/Impact to the
Db2® database, as described in Configuring Db2 database connection within Netcool/Impact.
- Configure the ObjectServer to support the related events function of the event analytics
capability.
This requires a ParentIdentifier column in the alerts.status table.
- Configure the ObjectServer to support the topology search
capability. In $NCHOME/omnibus/extensions, run the
nco_sql utility against the scala_itnm_configuration.sql
file.
./nco_sql -user root -password myp4ss -server NCOMS < /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/extensions/scala/scala_itnm_configuration.sql
Triggers are applied to the
ObjectServer that delay the storage of events until the events are enriched by Network Manager IP Edition data
from the NCIM
database.
- Install the Gateway for JDBC and
Gateway for Message Bus.
After installation, create the connection between the ObjectServer and the gateways in the
Server Editor (nco_xigen). See related links later for instructions on creating
connections in the Server Editor.
