Using the Integration Capabilities of the VPO Motif-based GUI
Integrating External Applications into the VPO GUI
Chapter 3160
In addition to the standard user (opc_op), VPO provides a predefined
network user (netop) and a predefined network administrator (itop):
❏ The netop environment allows the network user to perform all actions
that a typical network (NNM) operator would have available, without
the VPO configuration capabilities.
❏ The itop environment allows the network administrator to perform
all actions that a typical network (NNM) administrator would have
available with all configuration capabilities together with the remote
collection station applications and some standard system
management functions.
A'VPO user can be given access to an NNM application when the
administrator assigns an OV Application or OV Service to him/her by
copying the application from the administrator’s Application Bank to the
operator’s Application Desktop.
Always consider the following points when assigning applications to an
operator:
❏ Always place applications in the operator’s Application Desktop.
Whenever possible, it is recommended to assign OV Applications in
preference to OV Services.
❏ In addition, you can add applications to the menus in the operator’s
environment by assigning OV Services.
❏ Never integrate applications into menus when they are not already
integrated as icons in the operator’s Application Desktop.
In general, a VPO user, excepting netop and itop, does not have the
IP-Map application assigned by default and therefore does not
automatically have access to the IP-Map submaps. An operator can be
given access to the IP submaps when the administrator assigns the OV
Service IP-Map to his/her Application Desktop. The operator will not see
the OV Service IP-Map in the Application Desktop but will see the IP
submaps themselves.
