Understanding and Implementing a Secured Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Environment
This 2-day course will explore security in an OMNIbus environment. It covers a range of security-related topics, including, but not limited to, methods for securing OMNIbus files on the native file system; the importance of OMNIbus users, groups, roles, and the relationship between Process Automation and OMNIbus external actions (external procedures). Additionally, it describes component encryption (communications-layer encryption), including the various supported encryption algorithms. Considerable attention will be given to the more recent support for FIPS-compliant cryptography. The objective is to show the complete configuration for a pair (primary and failover) of secured ObjectServers with equally secured connections to a running probe simulator, failover-gateway, and process automation daemon. These sessions require previous completion of the OMNIbus Administration and Configuration course or equivalent experience.
Room 109

IBM Tivoli CCMDB 7.1.1: Configuration Item Hierarchy Design and Implementation
IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB) 7.1 manages configuration items (CIs) based on a hierarchy that should match an organization's needs. There are many considerations when creating a useful CI hierarchy derived from the discovered environment provided by Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM). This course helps you create a useful CI hierarchy for your organization. Design concepts and considerations will be introduced; participants will install and configure the IBM Tivoli Integration Composer (ITIC) and the necessary adapters to successfully import TADDM data into CCMDB. In hands-on labs exercises you will create and implement a CI hierarchy in CCMDB and promote the necessary actual CI entities for use with the process managers in CCMDB.
