The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus server components and probes can be installed to run as services on a Windows host. The server components that you can install as services include the ObjectServer, process agent, proxy server, and gateways.
You can install, configure, and uninstall services by running a command-line utility. You can optionally configure installed services from the Services window in the Control Panel.
As is standard practice on Windows, you can configure your Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus services with automatic startup.
You can alternatively configure Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus components to run as Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus processes within a process control system. If you plan to use process control, the preferred approach is to install your process agents as Windows services, and then set up the other components to run as processes within the process control system.
