Configuring Netcool/OMNIbus process control

Netcool/OMNIbus process control allows the Netcool/Precision TN process to be monitored and automatically restarted if it exits unexpectedly. If Netcool/Precision TN is not configured to run using process control, it must be started or restarted manually using system init scripts or the command line.

To set up the process control daemon and agent, follow the instructions in the

Netcool®/OMNIbusAdministration Guide .

Netcool/Precision TN is not PA Aware. To configure the process agent to monitor the Netcool/Precision TN process, add the following section to your $OMNIHOME/etc/process_agent_name.conf configuration file:

nco_process 'PrecisionTN'

{

Command '<netcool_install_dir>/bin/precisiontn' run as 0 Host='my_host_name'

Managed=true

RestartMsg='Netcool/Precision TN has been restarted' AlertMsg='Netcool/Precision TN has gone down' RetryCount=0

ProcessType=PaNOT_PA_AWARE

}

where <netcool_install_dir> is replaced with the Netcool installation directory (the default is /opt/netcool), and my_host_name is replaced with the hostname of the machine where Netcool/Precision TN is running.

Disabling use of Netcool/OMNIbus

If you do not want event correlation and only want to perform asset polling, you can disable Netcool/OMNIbus. Netcool/Precision TN should always perform event correlation which requires the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer.

You can configure Netcool/Precision TN not to use Netcool/OMNIbus by editing the precisiontn.xml file.

Go to the <netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn directory and open the precisiontn.xml file and change the "lumos.leap.service.opl.Enable" value to "false" to disable the Netcool/OMNIbus integration.

<properties name="LEAPFramework">

<property name="lumos.leap.service.opl.Enable" value="false" />
