IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Configure the OMNIbus server for program execution from scripts

To run the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Situation Update Forwarder program from SQL automation scripts for sending synchronization events to the hub monitoring server, the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer must be running under process control. You must also set the PA.Username and PA.Password properties in OMNIHOME/etc/NCOMS.props file, where OMNIHOME is the system-defined variable defining the installation location of Netcool/OMNIbus.

The tasks in this section should be completed by the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator if you are using bidirectional event synchronization. If you are using a Netcool/OMNIbus multitier architecture, these tasks should only be performed on the ObjectServers in the aggregation tier and are not necessary for the ObjectServers in the collection and display tiers.


For Linux and UNIX: The PA.Username property must be set to the user name for connecting to the process control agent. The PA.Password property must be set to the password of the user connecting to the process control agent. By default, process control grants access to the members of ncoadmin group so configure PA.Username to specify a user in this group.

For Windows: The PA.Username property must be set to a Windows account name, and the PA.Password property must be set to the password for that account.

See OMNIbus documentation for more information about configuring OMNIbus server under process control and for information about the nco_pa_crypt utility that encrypts the PA.Password property value.

After you change the PA.Username and PA.Password properties in the OMNIHOME/etc/NCOMS.props file, complete the following procedure to restart the OMNIbus ObjectServer:

  1. Stop the OMNIbus server:

    • In the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, then Services. In the list of services, double-click OMNIbus server, then click Stop.

    • Issue the following command from command-line 

        $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_pa_stop -process server_name

      where:

      $OMNIHOME

      Is the system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.

      server_name

      Is the OMNIbus ObjectServer name defined for process control.

  2. Restart the OMNIbus server.

    • In the list of services, double-click OMNIbus server, then click Start.

    • Issue the following command from command-line: 

        $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_pa_start -process server_name
