This chapter describes the process of configuring the Netcool/Precision TN server and 
Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer in order to display NE data for a selected alert in the 
Netcool/OMNIbus event list. 

This chapter contains the following sections:

Netcool/Precision TN is integrated with Netcool/OMNIbus. If you have 
Netcool/OMNIbus installed, you can use Netcool/Precision TN to add complete 
inventory, facility, and connection data to Netcool/OMNIbus alerts so that network 
operators can more easily diagnose and fix network problems. 

Using Netcool/Precision TN, an operator can visualize Netcool/OMNIbus alerts to see 
exactly where they occur in the network. Netcool/Precision TN listens for alarms received 
from Netcool/OMNIbus, correlates these alarms to the relevant entities in it's network 
topology model, and enriches these events with network information. 

From the active event list, an operator can select an alarm and then drill down in real time 
to the shelf, card, and port that is involved in the alert.

From the topology map, you can launch a filtered active event list showing only alarms on 
the selected device. 

After you completed the configuration described in this chapter, you must always 
start the ObjectServer before you start the Netcool/Precision TN server. In addition, 
when you start Network Pilot you must enter the root user name and password 
configured in the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer.
