Appendix B: Template file (Tivoli Netcool/Proviso
The following table describes the values that you must provide for these UBA parameters.
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. |

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.
