To configure Netcool/Precision TN to work with an existing copy of MySQL:

1.

Change directory to <netcool_install_dir> configuration directory, for 
example:

/opt/netcool/etc/precisiontn

2.

If you are running a default installation of MySQL on your local machine, you might 
not need to make any changes in this file. If you are not running a default installation, 
open the mysql_config.xml file with a text editor and update the following 
properties: 

– Set the port property value to the number of the MySQL server port.

– Set the username and passwd property values to match the user account you 

want to use for this product software on the MySQL server.

– Set the host property value to the host name of the MySQL server you want to use.

– Set the dbname property value to the name of the database you want to use.

3.

Save and close the file.

4.

Change directory to <netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn, open the 
precisiontn.xml

 file and locate the <application> section. 

Within this section, find the following lines: 

<!-- To use oracle set the value to 'oracle'. -->

<variable name="db" value="oracle" />

5.

Replace the oracle value with mysql. The modified lines are shown below. 

<!-- To use oracle set the value to 'oracle'. -->

<variable name="db" value="mysql" /> 

6.

Save and close the precisiontn.xml file.
