3-7 EMS Event Processing
ObjectMAP enables you to monitor for any EMS message that is generated, regardless of whether it was
generated by HP applications, user-written applications or third-party applications. You have the ability to link
one or more UP EMS messages to one or more DOWN EMS messages. If the application does not generate an
UP event, then you will have to manually delete or acknowledge the object. The Object Configuration Client
allows you to specify the group and threshold name to give them a meaningful description. Thus, events logged
by any application would be visible in the ObjectMAP interface, ensuring high availability of mission critical
information.
Figure 3-11 ObjectMAP EMS Event Processing
EMS thresholds in one user-defined group can be configured to be in an UP or DOWN state while configuring
the EMS thresholds using the Object Configuration Client. If the event condition is set as DOWN, then a
corresponding UP state of the object automatically deletes the object from the MAP. This ensures that the down
or up state of the threshold is automatically updated in ObjectMAP.
If the EMS thresholds do not have the corresponding UP events, then once the DOWN event is detected, it will be
displayed in ObjectMAP and will not be deleted until a manual action is taken. You can manually change the
state of the object or delete it in this case. For the EMS subsystem the user-defined groups and subgroups are
visible even if the objects are being viewed in Subsys View
Using the Object Configuration Client you can configure OVNM to monitor EMS messages. The ObjectMAP tab
in the Actions dialog box is used to determine how to monitor it in ObjectMAP. To view EMS thresholds in
ObjectMAP, select the Map Event to ObjectMAP check box.
For details refer to the Object Configuration Client document.
