EMS Components and Architecture
This section describes the processes, files, and interfaces that together provide the
event management capabilities described in Section 1, Introduction to EMS.
Later sections describe how to perform various tasks using these components,
including standard events (those that subsystems and applications must generate to
support operations management). Other sections include detailed specifications for the
interfaces mentioned here.
Before working with the process architecture, you must understand more about event
messages themselves because they are what EMS exists to manage.
