An IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer is running on an Oracle Solaris server and is started with Netcool Process agent nco_pad (named AGG1_PA) and it is running with -authenticate PAM option. All processes are correctly started automatically after rebooting the server, but the command, nco_pa_status, always returns Failed to authenticate after entering the password. What are two possible causes for this behavior?

• A. The administrator did not enter the UNIX password but instead provided the ObjectServer password for the same user.
• B. The administrator did not provide the option -server AGG1_PA when running nco_pa_status.
• C. The password needs to be encrypted with nco_crypt.
• D. The ObjectServer properties PA.Username, PA.Password have not been set correctly.
• E. The ObjectServer is not running as root.

A company is deploying IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus (Netcool/OMNIbus) V8.1 in the following Netcool architecture.

Which statement describes the Display layer configuration for the company?

• A. A Display ObjectServer forwards events from the Aggregation layer to client programs through a unidirectional ObjectServer gateway.
• B. A Display ObjectServer is the central point where events from all sources are aggregated and processed.
• C. A Display ObjectServer is configured on the same computer as the backup Aggregation ObjectServer.
• D. A Display ObjectServer receives events from the Aggregation layer through a unidirectional ObjectServer gateway.

What are three ways to test the performance of new triggers that have been developed?

• A. Ensure that the number of rows in any table that the trigger accesses is representative of the production system.
• B. Ensure the content of the catalog.memstores table have been inspected.
• C. Ensure that the MessageLevel of the ObjectServer has been set to Info.
• D. Measure the effect on system performance by using profiling and by collecting trigger statistics.
• E. Ensure the contents of the master.sm_thresholds table can be viewed.
• F. Ensure that the data on which the tests are run is representative of the production system.

A company has deployed the SNMP probe. How can they generate a test event to validate rules file changes?

• A. connect to the probe HTTP interface with nco_probeeventfactory utility to generate a test event
• B. edit the probe rules file and add the genevent function to generate an event
• C. telnet to the probe listening port and issue the command GENERATE EVENT
• D. run the nco_sendtrap utility to generate a test trap to the probe listening port

When using the configuration files that are included with IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus to create a collection layer ObjectServer and collection to aggregation gateway, how are events removed from the collection layer ObjectServer?

• A. A database trigger in the collection ObjectServer deletes the events based on the SELECT operations from the gateway.
• B. A signal trigger in the collection ObjectServer deletes the events based on receipt of a signal from the aggregation layer ObjectServer.
• C. The gateway deletes the events after they are forwarded to the aggregation layer ObjectServer.
• D. The gateway updates a custom event column after the event is sent to the aggregation layer ObjectServer, and a trigger removes the events based on the value of the column.
