Activating the ks3.baroc file

In OMEGAMON® for Storage, the ks3.baroc file provides the event forwarding feature to IBM® Tivoli Enterprise Console.

About this task

The ks3.baroc file, which is included with the application support you install for the monitoring agent. You obtain the omegamon.baroc file required for event synchronization during the installation of event synchronization on the event server. You cannot obtain this file from the application support software for the monitoring agent.

Procedure

  1. Install application support on a distributed monitoring server.
    For detailed steps, see Configuring Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server at OMEGAMON shared documentation.
    The ks3.baroc file gets stored in one of the following locations:
    • On Windows systems: itm_home\cms\TECLIB, where itm_home is the directory you installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
    • On UNIX-based systems: itm_home/tables/ms_name/TECLIB directory, where itm_home is the directory you installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring and ms_name is the name of the monitoring server.
    Note: The ks3.baroc file located on this monitoring server is only for storing. Hence, no software application runs or references this file on this monitoring server.
  2. Copy the ks3.baroc file to the event server for IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console.
  3. On the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console event server, run a series of IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console commands that import, compile, and load the ks3.baroc file in IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console.
