Launching EMS
from a Network
Management
Platform
You can launch the EMS GUI Client from the Tools menu within
OpenView or NetView once you manually configure the EMS launch
point for the Network Management platform. The menu option launches
the EMS client only; because the system expects that the EMS server is
already running.
Setting Up the EMS
Launcher
To set up the EMS launch point for a Network Management Platform:
1 Compete the installation of the integration kit.
2 Browse the CD to the arf_files directory.
3 Copy the . arf file for your platform to the correct destination as follows:
■
Windows – Use the ems_windows.arf file and copy it to C:\Program
Files\HP OpenView\NNM\registration\C
■
Solaris – Use the ems_solaris.arf file and copy it to
/etc/opt/OV/registration/C
These are the default installation locations for your network management
platform, your own installation directories may differ, and they may also
differ depending on the version of OpenView installed. Make sure the
.arf
file is copied to the registration\C directory.
4 Open the .arf file in a text editor to confirm that the command line to
launch the EMS Client is pointing to the correct directory.
The . arf file, as shipped on the CD, references the default installation
location for EMS.
5 To change the default location, edit the following section of the . arf file
(marked in bold):
{
DisplayString "Launch 3Com EMS Client";
Command "
C:\\Program
Files\\3Com\\EMS\\runGUIClient.bat ";
}
