If you have configured a hub monitoring server on z/OS® to forward situation events
to IBM® Tivoli® Netcool/OMNIbus, you must complete
additional tasks for event forwarding to succeed.
Before you begin
To perform this procedure, a Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server or the Tivoli Enterprise
Services User Interface Extensions feature (KUE) must be installed
on a Windows™, UNIX™, or Linux™ system.
About this task
Perform the following steps to complete the enablement of event forwarding. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and
Setup Guide provides detailed instructions for configuring OMNIbus servers to receive
the situation events from the hub and for installing the event synchronization component that allows
the servers to return updated status to the hub. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's
Guide explains how to use the Situation editor to specify event destinations and the
severity of set situations.
Procedure
- Configure the destination event server or servers to receive
the events.
- Install a situation update forwarding process (the event
synchronization component) on the event server or servers.
- Use the tacmd createEventDest command to specify additional
destination servers, if desired.
- Use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Situation editor to
specify the following information:
- the specific event servers to receive events (EIF receivers)
- the event severity.
- Specify which events are sent to which event servers.
