Download the PDF version of this document
Running mission-critical operations 24x7x365 is a high priority, especially if your
organization has invested in Hewlett Packard® OpenView Operations™. You don’t want to miss
coverage for availability and performance of important components in your datacenter. You
also don’t want to spend extra time correlating application problems with other
infrastructure problems. Now your investment in HP OpenView can be extended to your Tidal™
Enterprise Scheduler and the business application processes it automates for maximum
operational coverage. Finally, there is a solution that helps you do more with less while
still gaining a competitive advantage.
Consolidated Operations Management for Your Environment
The Tidal Enterprise Adapter for HP OpenView Operations smoothly and easily integrates
high-priority functions and jobs into the HP OpenView monitor. Business process automation
has evolved from simply managing nightly “offline” job scheduling to performing continuous
mission-critical workflow automation. That’s why Enterprise Scheduler comes with
sophisticated features to increase your confidence in its reliability and notification of
any abnormalities.
What’s more, Tidal Enterprise Scheduler ensures that integrating health-monitoring and
application job status into HP OpenView adheres to corporate standards and staffing
priorities for those organizations that have standardized monitoring of all enterprise
function under one operations management system.
Two Way Communication in One Solution
The adapter provides two way communication between HP OpenView Operations and Enterprise
Scheduler using HP’s guaranteed messaging protocol, OPCMSG, which enables business process
automation control through HP’s Operations interface. This means you can start an Enterprise
Scheduler job, view alerts, stop and start agents and perform many workflow automation
functions from a machine running OpenView Operations . When an abnormality occurs in the
Enterprise Scheduler environment, such as a job running too long, all of its information,
including logging data, is transferred to HP OpenView for viewing. From there, the job
process can be restarted or terminated.
For jobs of the highest priority, custom messages and recovery actions can be set in HP
OpenView. You can also reconfigure user-initiated actions to become HP OpenView automated
actions, setting up a cascade of diagnostic or recovery plans to pinpoint the root cause of
the problem.
Tidal Enterprise Adapter for HP OpenView
The following integration components are provided with the adapter:
- Application templates for accepting messages sent by Tidal Enterprise Scheduler
- Message, Monitor and Action templates
- Templates for monitoring Tidal Enterprise Scheduler services
In addition, all the messages displayed in HP OpenView generated by Tidal Enterprise
Scheduler are annotated and include help text. Some of the messages have programmed actions
already associated with them, so that clicking the “Perform Action” button in the HP
Operations console automatically executes the action.
Centralized Point-of-Control Puts You in Control
When an exception condition or event takes place, Tidal Enterprise Scheduler notifies
the HP Operations console of the condition. An operator can easily create a custom message
and severity level that is then associated with an application job and condition. Supported
severity levels include: critical, major, minor, warning, normal and unknown.
Tidal Enterprise Scheduler users can choose from over 40 different event triggers to
send alert notifications directly to the HP OpenView console for centralized management of
all job operations.
