Integrating Applications into ITO
Integrating Applications into ITO
ITO Applications
Typically, ITO applications are utilities that provide services of a general
nature. When integrated into the
Application Desktop
, they help
build a set of management tools.
The application is invoked when the user double-clicks the icon that
represents it. Information, such as selected nodes, can be passed as
arguments to the applications, and the applications are invoked using
the ITO access mechanisms. You add the application by filling in the
appropriate fields in the
Add ITO Application
and
Add Internal
Application
window. This is the easiest and quickest method to
integrate an application into the
ITO Application Bank
. For further
details, see the administrator’s online help and the HP OpenView
IT/Operations Application Integration Guide.
HP OpenView Integrated Applications
Plug-in of HP OpenView integrated applications is provided by
Application Registration Files (ARFs) which define how users access
applications and how application processes are managed. HP OpenView
applications also have access to HP OpenView windows through the HP
OpenView Windows Applications Programming Interface (API). This is
useful, for example, for generating application-specific submaps, as done
by HP OpenView OpenSpool, HP OpenView OmniBack II, and HP
OpenView OmniStorage. For more details about general HP OpenView
application integration, see the HP OpenView Windows Developers
Guide.
For more information concerning how to integrate HP OpenView
applications into ITO, see the administrator’s online help and HP
OpenView IT/Operations Application Integration Guide.
Examples of Application Integration Tasks
Integrating the IP Map and Network Node Manager
for IP
Applications which are a part of Network Node Manager are already
integrated with the HP OpenView platform. Therefore, these
applications can easily be integrated into ITO as OV Applications or OV
Services.
However, note that:
