Known Issues

The following section contains additional information about this integration pack for IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.

  • If the target Netcool server isn't SSL-enabled, Orchestrator can stop responding when you attempt to test the connection using SSL. Once you make a connection attempt, either by selecting Test Connection or by opening the properties of a Netcool/Omnibus activity, the initial configuration settings are used and all the subsequent changes have no effect. The JDBC drivers used to communicate with the Netcool/Omnibus ObjectServer don't recognize changes to SSL system properties once initialized. Workaround: In order to modify the Trust store path and Trust store password fields, restart the Runbook Designer.
  • When importing runbooks generated in Opalis, you need to open each Netcool activity in the Runbook Designer, and re-select the desired Connection. Enter the data again, and select OK to update the published data for the activity.

Note

The DateTime type properties return data with a long datestamp format.
