Verify with the Tivoli administrator that the environment has a current backup.

Right-click the Event Server icon, then click Start-up.

If necessary, start the Event Server by right-clicking the Event Server icon, then clicking Start-up.

In the TME Desktop dialog box, right-click the Event Server for the T/EC slave, then click Rules Bases to open the Event Server Rule Bases dialog box.

Click the Create drop-down list, then click Rule Base.

Enter rb_Formula in the Name field.

Specify the correct host and path,

or

click Directory and select the path.

Click Create & Close.

To copy the contents of the latest running rule base, in the Event Server Rule Bases dialog box, right-click the latest running rule base icon, then click Copy to open the Copy Rule Base dialog box.

Select rb_Formula as the Destination rule base.

Select Copy rules, Copy classes, and Overwrite files in that destination.

Click Copy & Close.

Continue to Compiling the Rules to compile and load the copied rules.

In the Event Server Rule Bases dialog box, right-click the rb_Formula icon, then click Compile to open the Compile Rule Base dialog box.

Select Trace Rules.

Click Compile to compile the rules.

Ensure that no errors occur while the newly copied rules compile.

If there are errors, notify the Tivoli administrator, as there might be a problem with the original rules.

Click Close.

Continue to Loading the Compiled Rules to load the compiled rules.

In the Event Server Rule Bases dialog box, right click the rb_Formula icon, then click Load.

Click Load & Close to load the rules.

Shut down and restart the T/EC Event server to ensure that the rule base does not contain errors.

Click Halt Server to open the TME Desktop dialog box.

Right-click the EventServer icon, then click Shut Down to shut down the T/EC Event server.

Right-click again, then click Start-up to restart the T/EC Event server.

Locate the tec_forward.conf file in the rule base directory.

Copy the tec_forward.conf file to a file named formula.conf.

Make a backup copy of the file.

Edit the ServerLocation, ServerPort, and TestMode properties in the formula.conf file as follows:

The following is an example of this file:

#ServerLocation=NULL
#TestMode=yes
ServerLocation="Operations Center server name or IP"
ServerPort=12345
EventMaxSize=4096
BufEvtPath=/etc/Tivoli/tec/Formula.cache
#ConnectionMode=connection_oriented
#Filter:Class=Logfile_Base

Compile and load the rules and restart the T/EC Event Server as described above.

Replace the following in the /TEC_RULES/Formula_rules.rls file:

$which_postemsg

$new_rb_directory

The following is an example of this file:

/*
The following rule processes TEC_Sync events from Operations Center
*/
rule:
tec_sync_from_master_tec:
(
description:'Processes TEC_Sync events from Operations Center server',
event: _event of_class 'TEC_Sync'
where [
originating_event_id: _orig_event_id,
new_status: _new_status
],
reception_action:
(
first_instance(
(
sprintf(_event_id, '%d%d%ld',[_event_handle,_server_handle,_date_reception]),
bo_set_slotval(_event,originating_event_id,_event_id),
re_send_event_conf('Formula',_event),
re_mark_as_modified(_event,_)
)
).
/*

 The following rule forwards updates to Operations Center 
*/
change_rule:
update_status_on_master_tec:
(
description:'Forward alarm updates in TEC to Operations Center server',
event: _event of_class _class
where [
originating_event_id: _orig_event_id outside[0]
],
slot:status set_to _new_status outside[_status],
action:
(
/*EventID=(EventHandle)+(ServerHandle)+(DateReception)*/
exec_program(_event,'$which_postemsg',
'-f $new_rb_directory/TEC_RULES/Formula.conf -r HARMLESS originating_event_id=%s new_status=%s TEC_Sync TEC',[_orig_event_id,_new_status],'NO')
)
).

Add the synchronization classes to the rb_Formula rule base so that the superclass and class definitions in this and the following steps define the appropriate slot values.

These slot values create the event uniqueness required to synchronize events between the two domains (Operations Center and T/EC).

Add the following entries to the top of the /rb_Formula/TEC_CLASSES/ tec.baroc file:

TEC_CLASS:
   TEC_Sync ISA EVENT
   DEFINES {
      new_status: STRING;
   };
   END

Modify the root.baroc file to add the string originating_tec_hostname and originating_event_id to the TEC_Class definition.

Add only the lines shown in bold; do not edit any other part of the file.

TEC_CLASS:
   EVENT
   DEFINES {
server_handle:  INTEGER,
  parse=no;
date_reception:  INT32,
  parse=no;
event_handle:  INTEGER,
  parse=no;
source:  STRING; 
sub_source:  STRING; 
origin:  STRING; 
sub_origin:  STRING; 
hostname:  STRING;
adapter_host:  STRING; 
.
.
originating_tec_hostname: STRING, default = "$host";
       originating_event_id: STRING;

In the root.baroc file, replace $host with the local hostname of the T/EC server, then save the file.

This allows the TecORB to send TEC_Sync events when the event status changes.

The default ="$host" statement must have the correct local hostname or IP address for the T/EC server. This is how the TecORB knows to which T/EC slave to send TEC_Sync events when event status changes occur in Operations Center software.

From the appropriate directory, at a command prompt, enter tecorb.

From the desktop, click Start > Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel dialog box.

Double-click Administrative Tools to open the Administrative Tools dialog box.

Double-click Services to open the Services dialog box.

Right-click Novell Operations Center, click TecORB, then click Properties to open the Properties dialog box.

Click the Startup Type drop-down and select one of the following:

Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

Close the Services window.

Close the Control Panel window.

Click Start > Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel dialog box.

Double-click Administrative Tools to open the Administrative Tools dialog box.

Double-click Services to open the Services dialog box.

Right-click Novell Operations Center, click TecORB, then click Start.

The Status column changes to Started.
