IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Disconnecting Accelerated Event Notification clients

If you need to perform minor maintenance on the ObjectServer, such as resynchronization, you can remotely disconnect (or sign out) the Accelerated Event Notification clients that are currently running. As part of the disconnect action, you can enter a brief message to users with relevant information.

About this task

To disconnect Accelerated Event Notification clients that are listening on one or more channels:

Procedure

From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the System menu button.
Click Channels. The Channels pane opens.
From the Channels pane, select one or more channels that are associated with the disconnect action. You can use the Shift key for consecutive selections or the Ctrl key for non-consecutive selections.
From the toolbar, click Disconnect Clients. The Send Disconnect Command window opens.
Enter a text message in the Reason for Disconnect field. This field scrolls horizontally to allow for the entry of text.
Confirm or cancel your actions as follows:
- Click OK to initiate the disconnect action and then confirm that you want to disconnect by clicking Yes.
  Note: If the Reason for Disconnect field is blank, the clients will disconnect, but no reason for the action is given in the message box.
- Click Cancel to cancel the disconnect action.

Results

After you confirm the disconnect action, any message that you entered is displayed in a message box on all relevant Accelerated Event Notification client screens. The message text word wraps at 120 characters. An automatic sign-out then occurs. The status indicator of the Accelerated Event Notification clients reflects the signed out state, although the clients continue to run in the background.
