IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Configuring channels to broadcast event data

When configuring accelerated event notification, you must use channels to define the type of event data to broadcast in the accelerated event notifications, and the recipients of this data. You can set up multiple channels with varied event data and recipients.

Channel administration is permitted only for users with the ChannelAdmin role.

The event data for channels is derived from columns in the ObjectServer tables.

Tip: The columns that you choose for a channel should contain sufficient summary data to help operators interpret critical issues at first glance, when such issues are forwarded to the screen as pop-up notifiers. Operators can then click across to the desktop event list or the Web GUI Active Event List to obtain full details for the event and to manage the event.

Note that click-across functionality from a pop-up notifier to the event list or the Active Event List is available only for events in the alerts.status table.
