Appendix B: Template file (Tivoli Netcool/Proviso pre-v4.4.3 only)
90 IBM Tivoli Netcool/Proviso Cisco IP Telephony 2.4.0.0 Technology Pack
The following table describes the values that you must provide for these UBA parameters.
Additional information about UBA parameters This section provides more information about the INSTANCES, URI, and DB_USERNAME parameters.
INSTANCES
The DataChannel UBA application supports multiple instances of technology packs running in a single channel
component. Therefore, there must be a way to guarantee that the UBA parses the correct design file and reads
the appropriate bulk input files. The INSTANCES parameter helps ensure that the DataChannel UBA application
performs the correct operation for a specific technology pack.
The Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack provides an INSTANCES parameter in its
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg template file. You supply an arbitrary string — referred to as a group alias
— to the INSTANCES parameter. After you define the INSTANCES parameter with a specific string, make sure
you specify this string wherever <instance> appears in the template file.
You can associate this group alias with any arbitrary string. For example, you might associate this group alias with
the location (for example, BOSTON, LOWELL, BERLIN, PARIS, and so forth) of the data source.
UBA Parameter Value Meaning
<channel_number> Replace with the channel number that was configured for this technology pack. This
channel number appears in the dc.cfg file.
<collector_number> Replace with the UBA Bulk Collector number that was configured for this technology
pack. This collector number appears in the dc.cfg file.
<instance> Replace with an arbitrary string that identifies a group alias to be associated with
subsequent lines in this section of the dc.cfg file. See Additional information about
UBA parameters on page 90 for more information on this UBA parameter value.
The template file specifies VOIP_CISCO_IPT as an example. If you replace this
string with one of your own, make sure that you replace it in the other parameters
where it is specified.
<timezone> Replace with the correct time zone, as specified in the /etc/default/init file
on the source host.
For example:
UBA.1.1.VOIP_CISCO_IPT.TIMEZONE=GMT
The time zone must be set correctly. Otherwise, the pack will not deploy.
<input_files_location> Specify the location of the bulk input files that the device generates, and the URIs of
each CCM Publisher data source defined in the odbc.ini file.
See Additional information about UBA parameters on page 90 for more information about
this UBA parameter value.
