Configuring the gateway server

You must create the Gateway for Message Bus server in the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus interfaces file and set the appropriate environment variables.

Note: You can configure the gateway to operate in one of two modes of operation: standard mode or IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis (LA) mode.

To create the Gateway for Message Bus server in the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus interfaces file:

If you are running the gateway in standard mode, create a server named G_XML.
If you are running the gateway in LA mode, create a server named G_SCALA.

For details about how to run the gateway, see Running the gateway.

Creating the gateway server

Use the Server Editor (nco_xigen) to specify the hostname and port number of the gateway host in the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus interfaces file.

Note: For information about using the Server Editor, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide.

Setting environment variables

Ensure that the Java virtual machine (JVM) initialization library ({JRE_DIR}/jre/bin/j9vm) is in the library path appropriate for the operating system the gateway is installed on.
