IBM Tivoli Training Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3 Technology pack installer
This IBM Education Assistant module examines the installation of stand-alone version 4.3-V Technology Packs in IBM Tivoli Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3. IBM Tivoli has replaced the term Application Pack with Technology Pack. Over time the transition from Application Pack to Technology Pack will be complete in the Netcool/Proviso documentation. In this module, the term Technology Pack will be used interchangeably with Application Pack.
Objectives
Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: Launch the Application Pack Installer Define the need for the appropriate ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file Describe the consequences of not having the ProvisoPackInstaller co-resident with the stand-alone Technology Packs you are installing
Upon completion of this module you should be able to: Launch the application pack installer Define the need for the appropriate ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file Describe the consequences of not having the ProvisoPackInstaller co-resident with the standalone Technology Packs you are installing
Assumptions
Assumptions Before installing Technology Packs: You must have Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3 installed and running You have root access in order to use Netcool/Proviso’s launchpad.sh You are familiar with using Netcool/Proviso’s launchpad
Before installing technology packs: You must have Netcool/Proviso 4.4.3 installed and running You must have root access in order to use Netcool/Proviso’s launchpad.sh You are familiar with using Netcool/Proviso’s launchpad.sh
The launchpad.sh
The launchpad.sh
Technology packs are installed using Netcool/Proviso’s launchpad. You must have root access to run the launchpad. Ensure the display is set and your browser of choice is available. Change to the directory that contains the launchpad.sh (or have that directory in the path) and issue the launchpad.sh command.
Install application pack
Install application pack
Select Install Application Pack from the list on the left side of the launchpad. Ensure that the DataMart home directory is correct as well as the Java home and that the appropriate user name is supplied for Pvuser. Click Install Application Pack.
Select application pack directory
Select application pack directory
The Application Pack Installer requires you to select the installation directory. This is the directory where the ProvisoPackInstaller.jar for this Technology Pack version is located as well as the specific technology packs that you want to install.
Technology pack directories
Technology pack directories
It is helpful to have assigned directories to store versions of technology packs. In this example a directory has been created for each Technology Pack version that is used. The version specific ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file should be located in the appropriate version directory.
Missing ProvisoPackInstaller.jar
Missing ProvisoPackInstaller.jar
This example shows the content of the AP-test technology pack directory. There is a standalone Juniper chassis technology pack in it. Notice that a ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file is not located in it.
Select directory of technology packs
Select directory of technology packs
Select the directory where the standalone technology pack to be installed is located using the browse tool.

In this example the AP-test is selected. Recall that the ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file is not included with the Juniper chassis standalone technology pack in the directory.
Technology pack error message
Technology pack error message
After selecting AP-test as the source directory, this error is shown. This is the notice returned when the ProvisoPackInstaller.jar is not found in the source directory.
AP4.3-V with ProvisoPackInstaller.jar
AP4.3-V with ProvisoPackInstaller.jar
The contents of the AP4.3-V directory are shown. The ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file is highlighted. This ProvisoPackInstaller.jar is specific to the technology packs that are in the 4.3-V version. Use of one version’s ProvisoPackInstaller with another version’s technology packs is not recommended or supported.
AP4.3-V selected
AP4.3-V selected
The AP4.3-V directory is now selected. The previous slide showed that the ProvisoPackInstaller.jar file was in this directory. Click Select.
