Welcome to online help for Netcool®/Webtop Version 1.3.1.
Netcool/Webtop publishes Netcool alerts for viewing in a web browser, and enables certain users to manipulate them using an active event list launched from a web browser. The application includes server administration pages, which can be used to set up users, table views and other configurable elements. It also includes the Netcool/Webtop map editor, which is a powerful tool used for creating and editing maps. To maintain consistency with other Netcool® products, many of the features of the Netcool/OMNIbus native desktop have been used in the product design.
Netcool/Webtop meets the needs of service providers to deal with user problems relating to alerts in a network. The Webtop server publishes Netcool alerts and active event list applets over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol to any web browser. The active event list (AEL) can be launched from a web browser and offers you much of the functionality of the Netcool/OMNIbus native desktop, to acknowledge, prioritize and delete alerts, but using the Netcool/Webtop technology.
Publication of data enables operators to view and monitor the movement of alert data in their network. This functionality is provided by the Webtop server, which receives Netcool alerts from the ObjectServer, then forwards formatted alert data to users' web browsers.
Netcool/Webtop consists of:
The Webtop server
Administration pages
Map Pages
The Netcool/Webtop Map Editor
The active event list (AEL)
The lightweight event list (LEL)
Table views
The online help assists users of Netcool/Webtop to understand the administration functions of the product, and to use to full effect the dynamic features of the active event list (AEL). You can find help information on both of these by referring to:
