About This Manual
The OEM Gateway consists of a Server component and one or more Adapter
components that provide client applications such as Compaq state monitoring,
performance monitoring, and command and control graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
with a simplified, encapsulated layer to operations management frameworks.
This manual describes how to install, configure, and customize the OEM Server to
monitor OEM objects, and it documents the application programmatic interfaces (APIs)
for both client applications and enterprise management framework adapters.
