This group of APIs enables applications to connect to the VPO
database and configure VPO object directly in the database without
using the GUI. These APIs include:
• Connection API
• Application Configuration API
• Application Group Configuration API
• Message Group Configuration API
• Message Regroup Condition Configuration API
• Node Configuration API
• Node Hierarchy Configuration API
• Template Configuration API
• User Profile Configuration API
• User Configuration API
• Distribution API
• Server Synchronization API
For information about the API functions, see the VPO Developer’s
Reference.
The VPO APIs are designed to ease the integration of partner solutions.
Examples for the use of these APIs include:
❏ Full integration of legacy systems for which VPO agent software is
not available.
❏ Connection of event correlation engines to process messages from the
internal message stream of the management server or agent.
❏ Implementation of bidirectional communication between trouble
ticket systems and VPO.
Command line functions to acknowledge messages are also available, for
example opcackmsg(1M) on the VPO management server and
opcmack(1M) on the managed nodes.
