ObjectMAP – The Understanding 28
3-3 Reason of Failure
Figure 3-6 ObjectMAP Reason of Failure
ObjectMAP has been designed to provide businesses with strategic business intelligence. Apart from bringing
real-time information about object states, ObjectMAP also provides information about the precise cause of failure
for objects in a violation state. The software provides a single snapshot view of the severity levels as well as the
reason for the object to be in a violation state. This way, the user has all the information to focus on the recovery
operation required to bring the object state back to normal. The information displayed for the reason, including
the current state and status, is obtained from the EMS messages generated by OVNM. It is possible that
ObjectMAP will show an outdated current value because OVNM only generates EMS messages at the repeat
interval. To see the current value of the object, the View Object Detail option in the View pane right-click menu
can be used.
The information about the object displayed in the View pane shows the reason the object went into a violation
state. This way, the operator knows the exact reason the object was placed in a critical state. In the Object
Class pane, the object in critical state is shown in red color. The user can right-click on the object in critical state
to view specific object details. The Reason column displays the threshold that caused the object to be in a
violation state.
