Manually Starting and Stopping

If you do not configure OSM Notification Director to run as a Windows service, you

must manually open it every time you start your system console. To start or stop the

Notification Director manually (for the current Windows session only):

Start>Programs>HP OSM>OSM Notification Director>Start (or Stop)

Changing From Manual to Automatic

You can change the operating status for the Notification Director that you specified

during installation without reinstalling OSM. To start (or stop) the Notification Director

from running as a persistent Windows service, select:

Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services

In the list of services, double-click the OSM Notification Director and change the

Startup Type to Automatic if you want it to run as a Windows service. If not, select

Manual. (Selecting Disabled prevents you from starting the OSM Notification Director

at all.)

Logging On

From the Systems menu in the OSM Notification Director main window, select the

system you want to configure or log on to.

In the Log On dialog, enter a valid username and password, then click Log On or

press Enter.

You can close the OSM Notification Director main window by clicking the X box in the

upper right corner. It continues to operate as configured. To re-open it, double-click the

ND (blue telephone) icon on the Windows task bar.

OSM Guided Procedures

OSM provides the same guided procedure functionality as TSM, plus modular I/O

functionality not supported in TSM. OSM guided procedures are integrated into the

OSM Service Connection rather than being launched separately from the Start menu.

Some TSM guided procedures are replaced by OSM interactive actions. The guided

procedures that remain are launched by OSM actions. OSM guided procedures are

installed as part of the OSM Web-based Suite (T2751).

Table 5-1 describes the differences between TSM and OSM guided procedures.

Table 5-2 describes how other TSM guided procedure functionality is performed in the

OSM Service Connection.

Note. Starting or stopping manually does not change the status of the ND as a persistent

Windows service. With the next Windows session, the Notification Director runs as configured.
