Integrating VPO Applications
VPO applications are those that are integrated directly into VPO rather
than by way of NNM. For these applications you can:
❏ Invoke them on the VPO management server and on all VPO
managed nodes that are configured as VPO controlled nodes.
❏ Invoke them on several nodes in parallel.
❏ Change the list of target nodes, by selecting different nodes in the
Managed Nodes window.
❏ Customize the start-up defaults. You can modify the following
attributes:
• List of target nodes
• Command parameters
• User ID to use for execution
• User’s password
❏ Allow the retrieval of the list of selected nodes using the reserved
variable $OPC_NODES.
❏ Do not have or make use of OV Application Registration Files (ARFs)
You can modify the configuration of a VPO application in the
Add/Modify VPO Application window. You can test the application
immediately after configuration, and add parameters to the application
that may or may not be altered by the operator.
The way a VPO application makes use of windows can be used to further
classify VPO applications:
