Working with your local system directories

Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus provides a directory browser utility that operates in a similar manner to any UNIX file system browser.

1. From the Conductor, click Browser in the button bar. The Directory Browser window opens.
2. Complete this window as follows:

   Directory

   This field displays the full path name of the current directory. To change the directory, perform either of the following actions:

   • Type the full directory path in the field and press Enter.
   • Double-click any directory icon in the directory display area.

   Directory display area

   This area displays the subdirectories that exist within the current directory. A parent directory is depicted as an icon with two periods (..) that represent the directory name. To move to a directory above the current directory, double-click the parent directory icon.

   You can drag and drop files from this area of the directory browser into your personal library in the Conductor:

   • Use the middle mouse button to move files. (This is equivalent to using the mv command.)
   • Use the Ctrl key and middle mouse button simultaneously to copy files. (This is equivalent to using the cp command.)

   Note: You can drag and drop all icons except those representing directories.

   You can similarly drag and drop all icons (except the prefs icon) in the personal library into this directory display area.

   You can also directly open views, filters, and event list configurations by double-clicking the relevant icons. Double-click a .elf icon to open the defined filter within the Filter Builder. Double-click a .elv icon to open the defined view within the View Builder. Double-click a .elc icon to open the defined event list configuration within the Event List monitor box window.
