Prerequisites
This section describes the hardware and software prerequisites you need to install and use
Netcool/Precision TN on the supported platforms.
Netcool/OMNIbus version 3.6 or 7.x must already be installed on the same machine as
Netcool/Precision TN in order to interoperate with Netcool/OMNIbus. However, the
ObjectServer does not have to be running; Netcool/Precision TN uses libraries from the
Netcool/OMNIbus installation to forward events to Netcool/OMNIbus, and for event
correlation.
Netcool/OMNIbus can be obtained using your Passport Advantage account.
