Configuring Netcool/Precision TN
To configure Netcool/Precision TN to work with an existing copy of MySQL:
1. Change directory to <netcool_install_dir> configuration directory, for
example:
/opt/netcool/etc/precisiontn
2. If you are running a default installation of MySQL on your local machine, you might
not need to make any changes in this file. If you are not running a default installation,
open the mysql_config.xml file with a text editor and update the following
properties:
– Set the port property value to the number of the MySQL server port.
– Set the username and passwd property values to match the user account you
want to use for this product software on the MySQL server.
– Set the host property value to the host name of the MySQL server you want to use.
– Set the dbname property value to the name of the database you want to use.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Change directory to <netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn, open the
precisiontn.xml file and locate the <application> section.
Within this section, find the following lines:
<!-- To use oracle set the value to 'oracle'. -->
<variable name="db" value="oracle" />
5. Replace the oracle value with mysql. The modified lines are shown below.
<!-- To use oracle set the value to 'oracle'. -->
<variable name="db" value="mysql" />
6. Save and close the precisiontn.xml file.
