You install the Tivoli Event
Integration Facility using
a stand-alone installation process. Custom adapters created with a
previous version of the Event Integration
Facility can
be migrated only when the SOCKET transport type is used.
Preparing for installation
The Tivoli Event
Integration Facility SDK
is distributed with IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus as
a compressed file. This file is available on CD, or you can download
it from the IBM Passport Advantage® Online
Web site as part of the main Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus download.
Installing
You do not use the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus installation
process to install the Tivoli Event
Integration Facility.
Instead, you extract the compressed EIF files
that are bundled with the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus files.
The EIF SDK
includes the JAR files and C libraries.
Migrating adapters
The new Event Integration
Facility is
backwardly compatible with earlier versions only when the SOCKET transport
type is used.
