3-7 Group & Subgroup Management of Objects
OVNM allows the user to manage objects in groups and subgroups. This feature allows the user to escalate
objects to the EMS or Enterprise Consoles based on their location or business significance.
For instance, all processes belonging to an ATM system can have a group name of ATM and SNAX objects can
have subgroup names of SNAX. In order to display objects that reported events on SNAX and belonging to the
ATM group, the user can take action against the objects in the group.
The Group tab page in the Objects Properties dialog box can be used to classify and organize objects into
groups and sub-groups depending on the business requirements. The Object Properties dialog box can be
accessed using the Object Properties link in the Threshold dialog box.
Figure 3-21 OCC Object Properties Dialog Box Group Tab Page
A default value will be used for Group/Subgroup unless a value is specified. The default value for Group is
Subsystem Name, for example, ATP6100, BASE24. The default value for Subgroup is Object Type, for example,
Line, Link, Process, Station, and System.
The object states of the user-defined Group and Sub-Group can be viewed using ObjectMAP.
NOTE:
The change in the monitoring and recovery status, active or inactive, for a group/subgroup only
impacts the objects and not the main configuration.
The GROUP and THRESHOLD NAME specified on the ObjectMAP tab must match to link the UP EMS message
to the DOWN EMS message. Those values will be displayed as group/subgroup in ObjectMAP.
