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.
