IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Create a Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI tool to launch from WebGUI to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal

If you want your Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI users to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to see additional details about events shown in the WebGUI, you can create a WebGUI tool that launches the Tivoli Enterprise Portal from the Netcool/OMNIbus Event List UI.

The Tivoli Enterprise Portal will be launched in the context of the managed system associated with the event. This support allows WebGUI users to quickly determine and resolve issues in their IT environment.

Follow the instructions in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Information Center to create event management tools for the WebGUI and choose Script as the tool type. For more details on the tool creation procedure, see the Netcool/OMNIbus information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.tivoli.namomnibus.doc/welcome_ob.htm.

For the script command, use the format example below that supports your environment.

The examples below use http and port number 1920. If you use https or a different port number to access the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, you must customize the script commands below to reflect that environment.

Scenario 1: Single hub monitoring server is sending events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and hub monitoring server are on the same host. Use the following script command format for this scenario:

Scenario 2: Single hub monitoring server is sending events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and the hub monitoring server are on different hosts. Use the following script command format for this scenario:

In this example, replace <teps-hostname> with the IP address or hostname of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

Scenario 3: Multiple hub monitoring servers are sending events to the same Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. Use the following script command format for this scenario:

Change the following in this script command example:

If you have more than two hub monitoring servers sending events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, add additional else if checks for each hub monitoring server.

You can configure the Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI and Tivoli Enterprise Portal to authenticate users from an external LDAP repository. If you do this configuration and add the Single Sign-On (SSO) capability between both servers (WebGUI and Tivoli Enterprise Portal server), you can open and work on both consoles with the same user credentials (authenticated by LDAP server). You do not need to login separately to each console.

In order to configure Tivoli Enterprise Portal console for Single Sign-On, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide. To configure the WebGUI console for Single Sign-On, see the Netcool/OMNIbus Information Center http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.tivoli.namomnibus.doc/welcome_ob.htm.
