- Orb Data – Integrating TBSM and ITM 6 using BSM_Identity – BSM_Identity
In-order to associate any event with an imported TADDM resource, there needs to be some piece of data that is common to both the event and the data imported from TADDM. This is achieved using a field called BSM_Identity. Each resource will need to have one or more of these fields set. Every resource imported from TADDM will have at least one BSM_Identity by default however this value will not match any event received by Netcool/OMNIbus and is therefore useless. The default BSM_Identity is comprised of the resource's name, TADDM GUID, and the CDM class. For example:
- UK & Irish Resellers Predict Virtualisation Management, Cloud Computing and Busi by Ca – Resellers also predicted growth in cloud computing and software-as-a-service with 44% and Business Service Management with 25%.
I’ve seen far too many instances of folks saying they don’t know how to change this password or that password. Let’s start with how to change the Netcool/OMNIbus password. By default, it’s root and no password at installation time.
Here’s where the manual describes this process!
Changing the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus password
You can change the password for the ObjectServer used by IBM® Tivoli® Business Service Manager.
1. Stop the TBSM Data server.
2. To generate an encrypted value for the password, from the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
$TBSM_HOME/bin/rad_crypt password
where password is the password that TBSM uses to connect to OMNIbus.
3. Copy the output of the rad_crypt command.
4. Using a text editor, open the RAD_ObjectServer_DS.ds file. This file is in the $TBSM_DATA_SERVER_HOME/etc/rad directory. Before you edit the RAD_ObjectServer_DS.ds file, make a backup copy of the file.
5. Paste the encrypted password as the value for the ObjectServer_DS.ObjectServer.DBPASSWORD property.
6. Save the modified file.
7. Open the RAD_OutputObjectServer_DS.ds file. This file is in the $TBSM_DATA_SERVER_HOME/etc/rad directory.
8. Paste the encrypted password as the value for the OutputObjectServer_DS.ObjectServer.DBPASSWORD property.
9. Save the modified file.
10. Restart the TBSM Data server.
Any questions?
