Content

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus - for creation of the systems of the centralized processing and correlation of the abnormal messages arriving from diverse sources including the equipment and managing programs of different producers.

Briefly

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus performs functions of the central software module consolidating, processing and storing the data arriving in the form of a flow of messages from interface units (tests) and monitors.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus integrates in itself five components:

  • The IBM Tivoli ObjectServer database is the high-performance implementation of own database intended for storage and processing of the arriving messages.

  • Probes (probes) are the interface units providing normalization, preprocessing and delivery of messages from objects of monitoring in ObjectServer.

  • Gateways - implement "mass" transmission of messages from one IBM Tivoli ObjectServer to another, or from IBM Tivoli ObjectServer in the external database.

  • The agent of process control (Process Control Agent) - the office component which is responsible for process management (modules) of IBM Tivoli ObjectServer, execution of the external procedures and programs set in the ObjectServer settings. In particular, control of processes is responsible for ordered start of the IBM Tivoli ObjectServer components in case of reset of the server.

  • Client applications. IBM Tivoli Netcool Administrator is intended for administration of ObjectServer bases and setup of control of processes, an Event List (the list of events) - for the current operational work with abnormal messages. Also the appendix implementing the command line interface SQL with ObjectServer is had.

Support of gateways and OS

Gateways

The gateway - the integration module implementing the bidirectional or unidirectional interface. The gateway allows to synchronize data between ObjectServer bases for creation of the systems of the increased reliability, to build architecture with load distribution and also to perform integration with other applied systems.

Bidirectional gateways allow to synchronize changes at the same time in two directions.
