Integrating Solutions with VPO
Defining an Integration Strategy
Chapter 278
Starting from Scratch
To integrate a partner solution that is not currently integrated into
either NNM or VPO, first make sure that you have a complete
understanding of the way in which operators use the GUIs, and the
underlying concepts of the two OpenView products. Based on this
knowledge, you can start to define the functional specification of the
integrated solution. You will need to decide what operators will see of the
partner solution and how they are to access the additional functionality.
After defining what you want to show to operators (for example, which
messages and actions) it is usually quite straightforward to decide on the
capabilities to implement this functionality. As a general guideline,
capabilities that are configured by way of the administrator's GUI are
the preferred choice.
