Installing Oracle HMC for Netcool/OMNIbus

After you have downloaded and unpacked the distribution archive to a local temporary directory, you need to copy the relevant files to the directory on the management server that contains the IBM Netcool/OMNIbus rules and lookup files. This section provides the paths for copying the files to the correct directories.

Your IBM Netcool/OMNIbus installation should have the NC_RULES_HOME environmental variable set to the rules file directory; see the IBM Netcool/OMNIbus documentation for more information. This procedure uses the location of NC_RULES_HOME as the base path for storing the Oracle HMC for Netcool/OMNIbus files.

All of the SNMP trap based rule files provided as part of the Oracle HMC for Netcool/OMNIbus are placed in the following directory:

NC_RULES_HOME\include-snmptrap\sun

All lookup files are placed in the following directory:

NC_RULES_HOME\include-snmptrap\common-lookup

The following procedure explains how to copy the files to the correct directories.
