Console mode To install the gateway in console mode: 1. Run the installer for your operating system: Linux UNIX $NCHOME/omnibus/install/nco_install_integration -i console Windows %NCHOME%\omnibus\install\nco_install_integration -i console 2. When the text-based installer starts, specify the extracted directory that contains the README.txt file as the location of the gateway installation files. 3. Accept the license conditions. Silent mode To install the gateway in silent mode: 1. Create a text file named reponse.txt and add the following entries: PROBE_OR_GATE_LOCATION=README_directorypath LICENSE_ACCEPTED=true where README_directorypath is the path to the directory containing the README.txt file in the extracted package. 2. Run the installer for your operating system: Linux UNIX $NCHOME/omnibus/install/nco_install_integration -i silent -f response_path/response.txt Windows %NCHOME%\omnibus\install\nco_install_integration -i silent -f response_path\response.txt where response_path is the full path to the response.txt file. Installing the gateway on Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2.1 The process of installing gateways on Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2.1 consists of downloading the appropriate gateway installation package, downloading the packages for each gateway dependency, installing the gateway patch contained in the gateway package, and installing the patch for each dependency contained in their respective packages. The installation package for the gateway is supplied as a compressed archive. It contains the patch version of the gateway in the patches subdirectory and a README.txt file that lists the gateway dependencies. The dependencies are supplied as packages that you must download separately. Each dependency package contains the patch version of the dependency in its patches subdirectory. Note: The archive management application that you use to extract the files must be able to preserve the directory structure contained in the archive on extraction. To install the gateway: 1. Download the installation package for the gateway from the Passport Advantage Online Web site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/ pao_customers.htm 2. Make a backup of any existing configuration files that you want to retain. 3. Extract the contents of the installation package to a temporary directory. 4. In the temporary directory, locate and read the README.txt file. 4 IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Writer Gateway: Reference Guide
The README.txt file will tell you if you need to download any further dependencies from the Passport Advantage Online Web site. 5. Download the install packages for all dependencies listed in the README.txt file. 6. Extract the contents of each dependency installation package to a temporary directory. 7. Locate the patches directory for the gateway (under the directory containing the README.txt file). This directory contains the patch for the gateway. 8. Windows Extract the patch files for the gateway and its dependencies to the following directory: %OMNIHOME% 9. Linux UNIX Consult the README.txt file to determine the order in which the gateway and any dependency patches must be installed. 10. Linux UNIX Install each patch, in the correct order, by running the following command: $OMNIHOME/install/nco_patch -install patch_path where patch_path is the path to the extracted patch file. Note: Linux UNIX At any point in the installation process, you can see what patches have been installed by running the following command: $OMNIHOME/install/nco_patch -print=id Configuring the gateway server Configuring the gateway You must create the gateway server in the Netcool/OMNIbus interfaces file. Use the Server Editor (nco_xigen) to specify the host name and port number of the gateway host in the Netcool/OMNIbus interfaces file. You must make the host name the same as the name of the gateway properties file. For example, the default properties file supplied with the gateway is called NCO_GATE.props, so the corresponding host name is NCO_GATE. Note: For information about using the Server Editor, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide. The SNMP Writer Gateway uses centralized property management that separates property configuration from data processing configuration. To configure the common Netcool/OMNIbus and gateway-specific properties, use the properties file. To configure data processing, use the map definition file, the table replication definition file, and the startup command file. The following topics describe the configuration files and how to use them: v “Properties file” on page 6 v “Map definition file” on page 16 v “Startup command file” on page 17 v “Table replication definition file” on page 19 IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Writer Gateway 5
