Components for integrating with Tivoli Business Service Manager
The data for integrating with Tivoli Business Service Manager is supplied through the following components: Tivoli Management Services Discovery Library Adapter (DLA), and Discovery Library Toolkit, Tivoli Integration Facility (EIF) probe, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
Tivoli Management Services Discovery Library Adapter (DLA), and Discovery Library Toolkit
By using data from the Tivoli Management Services Discovery Library Adapter, you can build Tivoli Business Service Manager service models that include resources monitored by the AIX Premium agent.
The DLA files can be imported directly into Tivoli Business Service Manager using the Discovery Library Toolkit or they can be loaded into IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM), and then fed into Tivoli Business Service Manager using the Discovery Library Toolkit.
See the following sources for more information about the DLA and Discovery Library Toolkit:
- Resources and relationships that are discovered by the AIX Premium agent and included in Tivoli Management Services DLA files: Discovery Library Adapter for the AIX Premium agent
- Use the Tivoli Management Services DLA: IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide
- Use the Discovery Library Toolkit: Tivoli Business Service Manager Customization Guide
Tivoli Integration Facility (EIF) probe
Situation events detected by the AIX Premium agent can update the status of services in Tivoli Business Service Manager.
The situation events are forwarded from IBM Tivoli Monitoring to the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for the Tivoli Event Integration Facility. The EIF probe then forwards the events to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. Tivoli Business Service Manager monitors the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer for new events and updates the status of affected services.
See the following sources for more information about event integration:
- Installation (using an existing EIF probe and Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer installation or using Tivoli Business Service Manager to install these components): Netcool/OMNIbus Information Center or the Tivoli Business Service Manager Installation Guide.
- Set up event integration between IBM Tivoli Monitoring, the EIF probe, and the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer: IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.
Tivoli Enterprise Portal
You can use the integration of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal with Tivoli Business Service Manager to view the services in the Tivoli Business Service Manager console.
For more detailed examination and analysis, you can link from the Tivoli Business Service Manager console to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to view the data within the AIX Premium agent.
