Use this window to edit the configuration information that is contained
in the properties files for ObjectServers, proxy servers, the database initialization
utility (nco_dbinit), the Confpack utility (nco_confpack),
Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator (nco_config), probes, and gateways. You can
also create new properties files on Windows. This functionality is available
to super users only.
Complete
this window as follows:
- Type
- On UNIX, select either of the following options:
- Select Generic to edit the properties files of
components other than probes. The File drop-down list

list becomes populated with these files.
- On Windows, select any of the following options:
- Select ObjectServer to edit the properties files
of components such as ObjectServers and proxy servers. The Name drop-down
list becomes populated with these files. These files are typically stored
in the %NCHOME%\omnibus\etc directory.

list becomes populated with these files. These files are typically stored
in the %NCHOME%\omnibus\probes\win32 directory.

- File (UNIX)/Name
(Windows)
- Select the properties file that you want to edit from this drop-down list.
This list is populated based on your selection from the Type drop-down
list. The default values are:
- nco_dbinit.props: Properties file to be read when
database initialization starts (You run nco_dbinit to initialize
the database.)
- NCO_PROXY.props: Proxy server properties file (A
proxy server can be used to reduce the number of probe connections to an ObjectServer.)
- nco_confpack.props: Confpack properties file (nco_confpack is
used for importing and exporting ObjectServer configurations.)
- nco_config.props: Netcool/OMNIbus
Administrator properties file
- NCOMS.props: ObjectServer properties file
- On Windows, the .props file extension is not shown,
and the property list is automatically populated with the available properties
when you select a file in the Name list.
- Open (UNIX only)
- On UNIX, after selecting the type and file name, click this button to
open the properties file.
- Property list
- This matrix shows details of any properties that you have added to the
properties file. You can select a property in this list if you want to change
it. There is a default set of properties that are already defined for probe
properties files and these cannot be removed. These properties are shown in
gray in the property list.
- Name
- This field shows the name of the property that you have selected for editing
from the property list. You cannot change the name of existing properties.
On Windows, you can also use the drop-down list to select the property to
edit.
- If you want to add a new property to the selected properties file, type
the name of the property here.
- If you selected Server from the Type list
in order to create a new properties file, type the name of a new property
here.
- Value
- If you are working with an existing, selected properties file, edit the
value of the selected property, or type the value for the new property that
you are adding.
- If you selected Server from the Type list
in order to create a new properties file, type the value of a new property.
- Add/Update
- This button changes depending on whether you are adding or editing an
existing property. If you enter a new property name and value, click Add to
add the value to the property list. If you change the value of a property
that is selected in the property list, click Update to
update the value in the property list.
- If you selected Server from the Type list
in order to create a new properties file, click Add to
add the new property.
- Remove
- Click this button to remove the selected property from the properties
file. The button is unavailable if you select a default property.
- Save
- Click this button to save the changes to the properties file.
- If you selected Server from the Type list
in order to create a new properties file, click Save after
adding a new property to the property list. From the Save New Properties window,
type a name for the properties file, but omit the .props extension;
this is automatically added for you. Click Save to
save the file to the %NCHOME%\omnibus\ini directory.
The properties file name is shown in the Name field
that is adjacent to the Type field, and you can continue
to add properties to this file. Note that you will be required to edit this
file in order to add quotation marks to string values that you specify for
the properties.
