IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Viewing and changing ObjectServer properties

ObjectServer properties help to determine the behavior of the ObjectServer. You can view and change ObjectServer properties using Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator. You cannot add ObjectServer properties; you can only edit existing ones.

About this task

The default location of the ObjectServer properties file is $NCHOME/omnibus/etc/servername.props. The ObjectServer reads the properties file when it starts.

Important: It is essential that you are familiar with the ObjectServer properties before modifying them. Incorrect configuration can negatively impact system performance and functionality.

To change the value of an ObjectServer property:

Procedure

  1. From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the System menu button.
  2. Click Properties. The ObjectServer Properties pane opens.
    Tip: View-only properties have the text false in the Editable column.
  3. To edit a property, select the column to edit and then click Edit Property in the toolbar. The Property Details window opens.
  4. Complete this window as follows:
    Name
    The unique name allocated to the ObjectServer property is shown here. You cannot change this value.
    Description
    A description of the ObjectServer property is shown here. You cannot change this value.
    Value
    Edit the property value as required.
  5. Save or cancel your changes as follows:
    OK
    Click this button to save the property details and close the window. The updated value is reflected in the ObjectServer Properties pane.
    Cancel
    Click this button to close the window without saving your changes.

Results

Tip: Changes to some ObjectServer properties do not take effect until you restart the ObjectServer. These properties have the text false in the Immediate column.
