IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Use the NetView console through the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console event viewer
You can launch the IBM Tivoli NetView Java console from the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console views, navigating from an event row to the associated network topology and diagnostics. The selected event must contain a valid host name or IP address to support the topology display of the node associated with the event. Otherwise, the standard topology view is displayed without a specific node selected.
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console rules automatically synchronize the events forwarded by Tivoli NetView to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console server. The event status updates are reflected on the system where you launch the Netview event console.
Ensure that you have netview.rls and netview BAROC files in the actively loaded rule base. For details, see the Rule Set Reference at the Tivoli Enterprise Console Information Center .
To use the NetView console through the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console view in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, you must configure the NVWC_HOME variable in the shell script that launches the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client, to point to the installation directory of NetView Web Console.
To set the NVWC_HOME variable, complete the following procedure:
Procedure
- install_dir\cnp\cnp.bat
- or install_dir/bin/cnp.sh
What to do next
The NetView Web Console must be installed on the computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client is running to launch the NetView console from IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console view.
See the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product documentation for more detailed information about using the NetView console.
