Course description
This 5 day course is designed to address all aspects of IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact. Students will undertake practical exercises throughout the course, built to teach both common policies in use and to cover key development concepts. Students should plan on attending the entire course as concepts will be built upon throughout the length of the course. In the lab exercises a Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus and sample relational database will be available in class to use with the Tivoli Netcool/Impact product. After some introductory material, the class will focus on learning a new concept then applying that concept in a policy building lab. Each lab will progressively build on previous labs, offering the students not just the opportunity to input policies, but to debug and explore how each works.
