OSM Service Connection User's Guide (G06.30+)

Performing the
same TSM action
on several objects
of the same type
(individually)
The Multi-Resource Actions dialog box (available from the Display menu)
allows you to initiate an action on any or all resources of the same type
simultaneously.
Rediscover menu
item
Rediscover is supported as an action on all system and some cluster objects. For
most objects, Rediscover is available only in the shortcut menu.
Rediscover causes OSM to refresh and reanalyze the object and all
subcomponents. Refresh refers to OSM updating the attribute values displayed in
the OSM Service Connection interface. Reanalyze refers to the running of OSM
incident analysis, which checks EMS event messages and creates alarms in OSM
if certain conditions exist.

Guided procedures are now launched or replaced by OSM actions rather than
from the Windows Start button.

Snapshots
You can save a snapshot from the OSM Service Connection without having to
change a configuration file setting as in TSM.
You can load and view a saved snapshot on any server running OSM server
software. To load a snapshot, launch Internet Explorer and enter the URL of the
system you are using to view the snapshot, followed by /snapshot/index.html.
For example:
http://star2.caclab.cpqcorp.net:9990/snapshot/index.html.
In the Open Snapshot File dialog box, navigate to and open the snapshot file you
want to view.
