Creating a new OMNIbus event reader from the command line

You can create a new OMNIbus event reader from the command line.

To create an OMNIbus event reader from the command line, use the following steps:

Create an XML file called create_service.xml using the following lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<project name="create_service" default="createService" basedir="." xmlns:if="ant:if" xmlns:unless="ant:unless">

    <taskdef name="impactHttp" classname="com.ibm.tivoli.impact.install.taskdef.ImpactHttpUtils"
             classpath="${impact.home}/install/configuration/cfg_scripts/taskdefs/install-taskdefs.jar"
             onerror="report"/>

	<target name="createService">

    <!-- if you want to add without filters, add the following property: "addWithoutFilters": "true" -->
    <!-- For Filters: Modify the "items:" section in "EVENTMAPPINGS", with your policies and filters -->
	<property name="newService" value='

	</target>
	
</project>

Place the file in your home directory on the Impact server system.
Execute following command from the $IMPACT_HOME/bin directory:
```
./nc_ant -buildfile /home/tivoli/create_service.xml -Dimpact.home="/opt/IBM/tivoli/impact_server" -Dimpact.hostname="vacuum1.fyre.ibm.com" -Dimpact.port="9090" -Dimpact.user="impactadmin" -Dimpact.pass="impactpass" -Dservice.name="OMNIbusEventReader2"
```
Changing the following parameters for your environment: impact.home, impact.hostname, impact.port, impact.user and impact.pass, and service.name

You can also change the contents for the XML file to modify the parameters as required.

Note: You will need to modify EVENTMAPPINGS for your environment.

Execute following command from the $IMPACT_HOME/bin directory:

./nci_version_control <ImpactServerName> add $IMPACT_HOMEt/etc/<ImpactServerName>_<yourservicename_in_lowercase>.props impactadmin

Where impactadmin is a valid impact admin user.
