Integration Facilities of the HP OpenView NNM Core Platform
The OpenView Windows API
Chapter 6 231
• Map and Submap Routines
The OVw API contains many routines that are used to operate on
maps and submaps. These routines let you create and modify
submaps, as well as retrieve information about maps and
submaps. A few OVw API routines let you change the background
images of submaps.
• Symbol Routines
These routines create symbols, alter symbol behavior and
appearance, and get information about an object as it exists on a
map. Symbols can also be created using Symbol Registration Files.
Maps, Submaps and Symbols are described in the section “Maps,
Submaps and Symbols”.
• User Verification
Several OVw API routines allow a program to verify changes to
maps and objects made by the user by way of the user interface.
• Dynamic registration
There are over 60 OVw API routines that dynamically configure
the OVW menu structure. These routines are rarely used by most
application developers.
• Callback Routines
OpenView Windows uses callback routines to communicate with
applications when various events occur. OpenView Windows
provides many definitions for callback routines to be provided by
the developer
As this API is fully documented in a separate manual set and as it is not
usually the primary integration capability used for VPO integration, it is
not discussed here at the C-function level.
