Introduction

The Opalis Integration Pack for HP OpenView Operations (Solaris) is an add-on for Opalis Integration Server that enables you to build Policies that manage HP OpenView Operations (Solaris) operations.

Efficiently and effectively managing the lifecycle for OpenView Operations messages is a challenge for many IT organizations. Users need tools that can instantly integrate and automate OpenView Operations Messages into standardized IT processes and software. The Integration Pack for OpenVew Operations allows users to monitor for key OpenView messages and take automated diagnostic or corrective actions. Opalis Integration Server also provides users with sophisticated tools to dynamically decide what actions should be taken and who to assign critical messages to via email, pager, or trouble ticketing systems such as HP OpenView Service Desk.

Additionally, access to message suppression capabilities are needed by staff in the field for both scheduled outages of managed servers and during ad-hoc maintenance periods, such as repairing a crashed server and trouble-shooting problem tickets.

Fixes and Enhancements

ADDED: Compatibility with OIS 6.2

System Requirements

• Opalis Daemon for HP OpenView Operations installed on the HP OpenView Operations server.
• The Set Scheduled Outage object requires an ‘outage’ file to be created in the ‘/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/respmgrs’ folder of the HP OpenView Operations server. You can find a sample of this file in the HP OpenView Operations sample directory.
• The Monitor Message object requires the Message Stream Interface to be configured on your OpenView Operations server using the Administrator console. You must Enable Output in the Message Stream Interface and it must be configured to Send All Messages to Server MSI. Make sure Copy Messages is selected.

In a typical installation of the Oracle 9i client these DLLs will be located in 'C:\oracle\ora92\bin'.
