into the VPO Application Desktop
Platforms that will be supported
3. If required, modify the partner solution software or implement
additional processes.
You can implement additional processes using programming
languages or shell scripts, depending on whether you will use the
VPO APIs or the command line interfaces.
NOTE APIs and command line interfaces are available for the agents and
the management server.
4. Create the configuration information fileset by selectively
downloading the required configuration information in the VPO
administrator’s GUI.
5. Add other required files to the configuration information to create the
integration package.
Other required files can be the necessary executables (scripts,
commands, actions) and HP OpenView application registration files
(ARFs).
6. Bundle the integration package with the partner solution product as
a separate fileset or as a separate product.
Add installation instructions to the partner solution documentation
or, if the integration package is a product of its own, create a separate
installation guide.
The installation information must include information to enable
customers to customize the integrated solution to meet their needs.
7. Install or restore the integration package at the customer’s sites by
uploading the configuration information.
8. Show the customer how to use the VPO administrator’s GUI to do the
final customization, and to assign and distribute new or changed
templates to the managed nodes.
