The Opalis Integration Pack for IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console requires that new classes and rules be incorporated into IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console to function properly. This article will review how to install the required rules and classes.

More Information

The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console application leverages custom rules and classes by providing the ability to create a Rule Base and then import desired classes and rules into that Rule Base. For the purposes of the Integration Pack for IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console it is recommended to create a new Rule Base and to import the Opalis Event classes and rules into that new Rule Base by leveraging the following two files:
opalis.baroc - Provides the class definitions for Opalis Events that are to be created in IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console.
opalis.rls - Provides the rule definitions for Opalis Events that are to be created and updated in IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console.
NOTE: The current release of the Opalis Integration Pack for IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console does not have these files included. This is scheduled to be corrected in the next release. In the meantime, these files can be acquired by opening a Service Request with Microsoft Product Support.

3. Type wrb -crtrb -path <Rule Base Path> <Rule Base Name> and press Enter (e.g. wrb -crtrb -path C:\Opalis_RB Opalis_RB).
