Installing the Event Backward Synchronization Script

For backward synchronization of event resolution states, OpsCx for IBM Tivoli uses two Perl scripts for closure of events in IBM Tivoli. While the IBM Tivoli-specific script is automatically installed by OpsCx for IBM Tivoli during configuration of the integration services, the generic script must be manually copied to the location where Operations Connector can find it.

To make the generic script available to Operations Connector, perform these steps on the Operations Connector host:

  1. Open a Command Prompt window (command shell) with administrative privileges.

  2. Stop the event backward synchronization process:

    ovc -stop ombacksync

  3. Compare contents of the following files:

    <OvDataDir>/installation/genint/OMBackSync.pl

    <OvDataDir>/conf/backsync/OMBackSync.pl

    Perform the following steps:

    1. If the contents do not match, make a copy of the OMBackSync.pl file located in the <OvDataDir>/conf/backsync directory. The suggested name for the file copy is OMBackSync.pl_orig.
    2. Copy the OMBackSync.pl file from <OvDataDir>/installation/genint to the <OvDataDir>/conf/backsync directory (and allow the copy process to overwrite the file at the target location).
  4. Configure the backward synchronization of events as described in the Configuring the Event Backward Synchronization topic.
  5. Start the event backward synchronization process:

    ovc -start ombacksync
