Meaning

Identifies this as a bulk inventory profile for a UBA technology pack.

Specifies the collector number (for example, 100) the user specified when configuring this UBA Bulk Collector.

You must use the Inventory Tool to run a bulk inventory profile.

To run the bulk inventory profile for this technology pack, perform the following steps:

16-a. In the command window where you loaded the DataMart environment, change your working directory to $PVMHOME/bin (/opt/datamart/bin, by default) on the DataMart server.

16-b. Invoke the DataMart GUI by entering the following command and pressing Enter:

pvm

16-c. Click Inventory Tool in the Resource tab. The Inventory Tool window appears.

This window displays a list of the existing inventory profiles on the Configuration tab. The name of the inventory profile to run is bulk_N, where N is the collector number configured for this pack.

16-d. On the Configuration tab, click on the bulk inventory profile for this technology pack and then select Run Profile from the Action menu.

The Live Information tab displays messages about the status of the profile. See the IBM Tivoli Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration Guide for more information about running an inventory profile.

16-e. (Optional) Every time the UBA technology pack design file creates new elements, subelements, and metrics, you must perform the previous steps to group the elements and subelements. One way to accomplish this task on a regular basis is to create a cron entry that makes use of the inventory CLI command. The following example shows a cron entry that periodically performs the grouping operation for a bulk inventory profile called bulk_100:

0* * * * . /opt/datamart/dataMart.env && inventory -name bulk_100 -action pregrouping -reload -noX

0 * * * * . /opt/datamart/dataMart.env && inventory -name bulk_100 -action grouping -reload -noX

See the ÌBM Tivoli Netcool/Proviso Command Line Interface Guide for more information about the inventory command.

17.Deploy reports.

After the technology pack installation completes, the rules for the new device are automatically loaded into the database. The inventory process uses those rules to group elements and subelements. You must manually deploy (auto-group) the reports by associating them with groups in the NOC Reporting tree in the DataMart Resource Editor.

To deploy the Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack reports, follow these steps:

17-a. Open the Tivoli Netcool/Proviso DataMart Resource Editor.

17-b. Click the ReportSEGroup tab.

17-c. Move the cursor to the left pane and scroll up to select any group under the SUB-ELEMENTS->NOC Reporting tree.

17-d. Right-click and select the AutoGrouping option from the menu. The AutoGrouping option places the reports in dynamically generated groups created during inventory.

17-e. Click Yes to continue.
