Tivoli Netcool/Impact Operator View by Example
Probably one of the coolest features of our Netcool/Impact product is something called Operator Views. Think of them as a way to federate reports and dashboards from anything that Netcool/Impact has access to via its library of data source adapters. I’ve seen some really cool things created using them. Sky’s the limit here folks. If you have or are interested in Netcool/Impact, you’ll want to develop these. There are plenty of quick win scenarios for how they can be used to provide value to your internal clients.
