Learn to use IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus version 7.2 to manage events in a network computing environment. This comprehensive course begins with the product basics, then teaches you to install, administer, and configure the OMNIbus 7.2 solution. Subjects explored include operator usage --including basic fault managment techniques using native v7.2 operator interface(s), installation and licensing procedures, configuring security and component communications, architecture, and implementation. Examples of ObjectServer SQL syntax and automations are examined. The main focus is on the deployment, configuration, and every-day maintenance of Netcool/OMNIbus 7.2 from the perspective of the administrator. Practical exercises demonstrate how to perform operational and administrative tasks using the OMNIbus Administrator GUI, command line tools, and process control. These exercises are structured to teach the operation, administration and configuration of OMNIbus in a network and systems environment. Lab exercises cover ObjectServer configuration and options, probes, gateways, and process control.

who can benefit

This intermediate level course is for individuals responsible for design and implementation of a production-ready OMNIbus system. This includes operations staff, IT support staff, IT engineering staff, IT architects or IT consultants. Independent of operating system specifics, considerable server-side product detail is provided around the administration and functionality of an OMNIbus system. Students should expect exposure to all fundamental elements of OMNIbus.

prerequisites

You should have:

	General system administration skills for UNIX, Linux or Windows
	Knowledge of (and experience with) scripting languages and/or SQL is recommended, but not required.
	Knowledge of high-level programming languages (C, C++, Java) is not required.

skills gained

	Identify and describe basic features components and concepts of Netcool/OMNIbus
	Use the Conductor
	Use the Event List Alerts View
	Build views using the View Builder
	Build filters using the Filter Builder

	Work with probes and rules files
	Use process controls
	Configure ObjectServer failover and fallback.
	Understand gateways and their configuration
	Create statements using ObjectServer Data Definition Language (DDL)
	Modify menus and create tools
	Use advanced probe techniques to configure correlation and deduplication
	Understand automations (database triggers, signal triggers, temporal triggers)
	Appreciate architecture considerations
	Administer users, groups, conversions, and classes
	Describe Object Server health monitoring
	Explain internationalization capabilities within OMNIbus.
	Describe the functions of the IBM online help system - new to version 7.2.
