This page provides details for configuring Netcool/Omnibus adapters in AppBoard. The IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus adapter retrieves information from a Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus object server.
In many cases, you will want to pass a parameter value into a query rather than using a static query definition. AppBoard provides a system of variable expressions, called SHIM, that can be used for this purpose. For instructions on this option, see SHIM Expressions.
Database Data Source Configuration
Configure Database Connection Settings
The table below details the settings you can configure for a Tivoli Netcool/Omnibus Data Source:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| host | The hostname or IP address referring to the Netcool/Omnibus database. |
| port | The TCP port of the Netcool/Omnibus database. |
| dbname | The name of the Netcool/Omnibus database. Default:"NCOMS" |
| connectTimeout | Time (in seconds) after a timeout occurs to wait before attempting to re-establish the connection. Setting this value too low can impact the performance of the system. |
| timeout | Time to wait (in seconds) before timing out on connecting to the datasource. If there is latency between AppBoard and the database, due to network configuration, this value may need to be increased. |
| username | User name credential used to connect to database. |
| password | User password credential used to connect to database. |
Query
You can configure one or more queries in each Netcool/Omnibus adapter configuration. Each configured query will have a different name, and result in a different Data Collection with that name. When naming a query, only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens are permitted.
Queries - Entity Settings Screen:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of this SQL query entity. Note: if editing the name all references internal to AppBoard are updated automatically, however in some cases Data Processing Scripts may have hardcoded references that will break as a result of the rename. In cases where AppBoard can detect this an error message is presented to the administrator identifying the affected scripts. |
| Description | A summary of the purpose of the query and any details or notes to provide for the system administrator |
| Cache Timeout (seconds) | Maximum time a response from the database is kept before discarding. |
| SQL Query | SQL statement defining the records to be returned by the query |
| Data Processing Script(s) | List of one or more Data Processing Scripts to be run on the query. |
