Overview of the Netcool Installer
Netcool/Precision for Transmission Networks 5.5 uses the Netcool Installer. The Netcool 
Installer provides a common installation interface for all Netcool products. Features and 
benefits of the Netcool Installer include:
Ease of maintenance. Updated versions of the Netcool Installer are installed 
automatically with new Netcool products and patches.
Better reuse and integration of Netcool software within a consolidated Netcool suite. 
The Netcool Installer is based around packages, or installable units, which can be 
shared between products. The Netcool Installer ensures that a given package is only 
installed once. A package used by one product can be automatically updated by 
another product that uses the same package.
Consolidated installation logs. For information on viewing the installation log, see 
"Viewing the installation log" on page 21.
Common directory structure. For information on the directory structure for 
Netcool/Precision for Transmission Networks 5.5, see "Netcool/Precision TN 
directory structure" on page 28 for fu
rther details.

Attention: 
The directory structure for products using the Netcool Installer is not 
compatible with the directory structure of older Netcool products. You must 
install products using the Netcool Installer in a different directory to any 
existing, non-Netcool Installer products.
Netcool Installer modes
The Netcool Installer can run in different modes. The different modes provide different 
degrees of user interaction. Netcool Installer modes are described below.
