This opview.war has had the security constraints removed and has been rebuilt.
2. Place this opview.war in the following directory on your install:
/IBM/tivoli/impact/integration/installableApps/
3. Go to /IBM/tivoli/tipv2/profiles/TIPProfile/bin
and run the wasadmin console
./wsadmin.sh -username tipadmin -password tippass
(paste this at the following prompt wsadmin>
$AdminApp update isc modulefile {-operation delete -contenturi opview.war }
when you see: Update of isc has ended.
paste this
$AdminConfig save
then
exit
4. go to /IBM/tivoli/impact/bin and run
./nc_ant -f ../install/updateEarWar.xml -Dnc_command=deploy
-Dnc_type=module -Dnc_name=opview.war
-Dnc_passwd=password
