Appendix A. Reference

This section describes the properties and command line options used to configure Netcool/Precision TN, as well providing information about the third-party software delivered as part of Netcool/Precision TN.

precisiontn.xml properties file

Netcool/Precision TN stores some global properties in the

<netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/precisiontn.xml file.

The precisiontn.xml file is used to define the CLASSPATH for the Netcool/Precision TN application and specify the Java extension packages that make up the application. The file also contains settings for properties defined in the various Java extension packages.

You can modify the property settings for Netcool/Precision TN Java extension packages in this file; the settings take effect when you restart Netcool/Precision TN.

To modify a property:

1.Open the <netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/precisiontn.xml file with a text editor.

2.Look through the <properties> tags at the end of the file, and locate the property you want to set.

3.For example, to force TL1 clients to authenticate with Netcool/Precision TN, you need to change the value of the lumos.leape.north.tl1.LoginMode property from NONE to GATEWAY. The modified entry is shown below:

<properties name="TL1 Northbound">

<property name="lumos.leape.north.tl1.LoginMode" value="GATEWAY"/>

</properties>

4.Some properties might be commented out using this notation <!--property -->, which means they assume the system default value. Once you have set a new value for the property, you must also uncomment it (remove the <!--and the -->).

5.Save and close the file.

6.Restart Netcool/Precision TN for your change to take effect.
