I just had the same #!%$@&& problems with the RIM. Ask one of the NetView
support people to send you the fax titled "Setting up NetView with
Relational Databases", which explains all more or less correctly. Also
check out the Redbook "Using Databases with Tivoli Applications and RIM",
SG24-5112-00, pg.13 'RIM COMMANDS'.
To create a RIM, here is the command:
wcrtrim [-i] [-v vendor] [-h host_name] | [-o host_oid] [-d database]
[-user] [-H rdbms_home] [-s server_id] [-I instance_home] rim_name.
The example they give is:
wcrtrim -v Oracle -h polar -d ORCL -u sys -H C:\ORANT orange
Check out what you did by the command: wgetrim rim_name, where in the above
example the result is:
RIM Host: polar
RDBMS User: sys
RDBMS Vendor: Oracle
Database ID: ORCL
Database Home: <path name to where CLIENT is located, not SERVER>
Server ID: <hostname>.world /* the ".world" must be
added for ORACLE */
Instance Home: /* this is used only for DB2 */
Make certain that the tnsnames.ora file has the exact same entry that you
entered for Server ID. Moreover, if you are using the Oracle client-server
setup, make certain that the TWO_TASK environment variable on the client
has exactly the same entry for Server ID. Make certain that the GLOBAL
DBNAME in the listener.ora file is exactly the same entry you made for
Server ID. Also make certain that the Tivoli administrator and password is
exactly the same as what you entered for the RDBMS User.
Other than these gotchas, it's a piece of cake (incidentally, it is
questionable how much help you'll get from Tivoli support if the wrimtest
fails so count on doing your own debugging.)
