Adding an Adapter Entry
For the OEM Server to communicate with an enterprise management framework, you
must configure an adapter for that framework within the OEM environment. The
configuration information consists of the name of the adapter, its externally accessible
OLE class name, and a state specifying whether the adapter should be activated.
By default, two framework adapters are preconfigured in the OEM: the Compaq Object
Integration Layer (OIL) adapter and the CA TNG adapter.
To add an adapter entry:
1. Display the currently defined adapters by opening the OEM Options dialog box and
selecting the Adapters tab. (See Viewing the Adapter List
on page 3-9.)
2. Click Add.
The OEM Server: Add Adapter dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name of the adapter in the Adapter Name field and the OLE class name in
the Class Name field.
4. Set the Active option:
•
Click Ye s if you want the adapter to be activated.
•
Click No if you want to configure the adapter now but activate it at a later time.
5. Click OK in the OEM Server: Add Adapter dialog box to add the new entry to the
adapter list. Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
6. Click OK or Apply in the OEM Options dialog box to save the changes. Click
Cancel to discard any changes you have made.
For more information about specifying adapter properties, see Using the Add/Update
Adapter Dialog on page 3-12.
