Changing the Netcool suite installation directory
The Netcool suite installation directory, OMNIHOME, is stored as an operating system environment variable. OMNIHOME must be set when the first Netcool product is installed using the Netcool Installer.
On UNIX, it is possible, although not recommended, to have more than one $OMNIHOME directory on one machine.
To change the location of an Netcool product installation on UNIX:
1.Shut down all running Netcool processes.
2.Back up all relevant directories.
3.Copy the $OMNIHOME directory and all its contents to a new location.
