IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Connecting to an ObjectServer

After starting Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator, you must connect to the ObjectServer that you want to configure.

About this task

To connect to an ObjectServer:

Procedure

  1. From the Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator window, select the Reports menu button in the left pane.
  2. Click OS. The ObjectServer Report window opens. It displays all the ObjectServers that were selected when the Import Connections Wizard was last run.
  3. Right-click the ObjectServer to which you want to connect. From the pop-up menu, perform either of the following actions:
    • Click Connect As if you are connecting for the first time or want to enter updated connection information. You are prompted for a user name and password for the ObjectServer.

      If you select the Always use for this connection check box, the user name and password are saved and automatically reused for connections to this ObjectServer. If you select the Use as default check box, the values specified for the user name and password are automatically filled in next time the connection window is displayed. If you select both check boxes, the Always use for this connection user name and password values take precedence. These settings last for the length of the application session.

    • Click Connect to use previously-specified connection information.
  4. Click OK.

Results

The pane in the center is the ObjectServer configuration window. In this work area you can view, modify, and manage ObjectServer objects.
