The README.txt file will tell you if you need to download any further<br />
dependencies from the Passport Advantage Online Web site.<br />
5. Download the install packages for all dependencies listed in the README.txt<br />
file.<br />
6. Extract the contents of each dependency installation package to a temporary<br />
directory.<br />
7. Locate the patches directory for the gateway (under the directory containing<br />
the README.txt file).<br />
This directory contains the patch for the gateway.<br />
8. Windows Extract the patch files for the gateway and its dependencies to the<br />
following directory:<br />
%OMNIHOME%<br />
9. Linux UNIX Consult the README.txt file to determine the order in<br />
which the gateway and any dependency patches must be installed.<br />
10. Linux UNIX Install each patch, in the correct order, by running the<br />
following command:<br />
$OMNIHOME/install/nco_patch -install patch_path<br />
where patch_path is the path to the extracted patch file.<br />
Note: Linux UNIX At any point in the installation process, you can see<br />
what patches have been installed by running the following command:<br />
$OMNIHOME/install/nco_patch -print=id<br />
Configuring the gateway server<br />
Configuring the gateway<br />
You must create the gateway server in the <strong>Netcool</strong>/<strong>OMNIbus</strong> interfaces file.<br />
Use the Server Editor (nco_xigen) to specify the host name and port number of the<br />
gateway host in the <strong>Netcool</strong>/<strong>OMNIbus</strong> interfaces file.<br />
You must make the host name the same as the name of the gateway properties file.<br />
For example, the default properties file supplied with the gateway is called<br />
NCO_GATE.props, so the corresponding host name is NCO_GATE.<br />
Note: For information about using the Server Editor, see the <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Tivoli</strong><br />
<strong>Netcool</strong>/<strong>OMNIbus</strong> Administration <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
The <strong>SNMP</strong> <strong>Writer</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> uses centralized property management that separates<br />
property configuration from data processing configuration. To configure the<br />
common <strong>Netcool</strong>/<strong>OMNIbus</strong> and gateway-specific properties, use the properties<br />
file. To configure data processing, use the map definition file, the table replication<br />
definition file, and the startup command file.<br />
The following topics describe the configuration files and how to use them:<br />
v “Properties file” on page 6<br />
v “Map definition file” on page 16<br />
v “Startup command file” on page 17<br />
v “Table replication definition file” on page 19<br />
