I want to create a connector to forward alerts to Netcool from MOM 2005. How
do it create a connector in MOM under product connectors?. I have the MOM to
MOM connector service installed in the MOM server and also the MOM web
service.

you have to get at dedicated MOM => netcool connector, this is not in the
product.
please search in the catalog.

Hi...Thanks for the reply. Sorry for delayed response as I was on a vaccation
for the last 2 weeks.

I have a doubt here. We already have MOM2005 management group configured
with netcool connector and that is working fine. But that config was done
long back and no documents available to explian how it was done. Here a Probe
runs from the netcool server (Solaris) and attach to the MOM Database and
collects data using the FORWARDEE ID. Here MOM is not doing any forwarding as
Netcool is collecting the data from MOM DB Am I right ?. Does this requre a
thirdparty connector or is there any alternative from Microsoft itself..
Correct me if iam wrong.

Thanks

I am quite sure that you need a 3 part connector to use with netcool.

How this specific connector is working I am not sure :-)

Hi...Thanks for the reply.

I have created a connector which is similar to the previous one. This is how
i did using SQL query.

By using Onepoint Database.
exec mcf_dosetup 'B027AFAE-C09E-4D36-DA34-AA2610C2E789','Netcool',null

This will assign the above GUID as Forwardee ID and 'Netcool' as the
forwardee Name.
This creates a connector under product connectors in Admin console

After this use the below command to initialize this.
exec mcf_doinitialize 'B027AFAE-C09E-4D36-DA34-AA2610C2E789',7

But when I run a query from Netcool (solaris) server against the MOM server
I get an error as below
