IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Conductor menu

Use the Conductor as the desktop entry point for Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus. You can use the Conductor to start the other desktop tools or client applications that enable you to view and manage alerts. You can also change your password and can access tools that are defined by your system administrator for managing alerts in the event list.

On Windows, the Conductor is represented as a pop-up menu that you access by right-clicking the red bus icon in the Windows system tray. The Conductor menu provides options that enable you to access all the desktop tools that have been installed, and that are available to you based on your access privileges.

You can display information about the login details for the Conductor by moving the cursor over the bus icon to see the user name and ObjectServer details in a ToolTip. To run a tool from the Conductor, select an option from the menu. The tool starts automatically; you do not need to enter a user name or password.

Use the Conductor menu options as follows:

Event List: Click this option to start the event list with a default configuration; that is, with a default view and default filter.
