Abstract

This IBM® Redbooks® publication covers the integration scenarios for IBM Tivoli® Network Manager, IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, and IBM Tivoli Netcool® Configuration Manager. These three products working together provide a comprehensive solution for network and event management, and network configuration management, within the context of service availability and performance management.

This book describes practical examples and use cases where these products work together to address network configuration management and event management requirements.
