IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Updating the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer with IBM Tivoli Monitoring attributes, tables, and triggers

IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring provides updates to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer attributes, tables, and triggers. The type of updates required depend on whether you are using a single-tier architecture, a single-tier high-availability architecture, or a multitier architecture.

A single-tier architecture uses a single ObjectServer. A single-tier high-availability architecture uses a primary and backup ObjectServer with a bi-directional gateway between them. A multitier architecture uses multiple sets of ObjectServers. For more information on the last two architecture types, see Netcool/OMNIbus Multitiered and High-availability Architecture.

Table 1 indicates which ObjectServer updates are required for each architecture type.
