Adapter Overview
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for HP Operations Manager
Consolidating Business Process Execution and Event Management Business process automation has evolved
from managing routinely scheduled batch jobs to handling continuous mission-critical workflows that encompass
cross-platform, cross-application processes. IT operations staff is under constant pressure to deliver highly
complex services with constrained budgets and resources. Given this scenario, dealing with application
problems and other infrastructure issues, managing resource availability, and monitoring the performance of
important data center processes have become mission-critical.
To strengthen IT’s ability to manage data center operations, Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for HP
Operations Manager extends the functionality of HP Operations Manager tools that monitor and maintain IT
services. Working with the adapter, Workload Automation delivers complex dependency- and schedule-driven
workflow status information to HP Operations Manager. Together, they function as one continuous events-and-
workflow-management system.
Accessed through the HP Operations Manager console, Workload Automation delivers sophisticated benefits
that include workflow automation, uptime reliability, n-tier scalability, and advanced error notification. These
increase IT management’s confidence in its ability to adhere to service-level agreements (SLAs).
Two-Way Communication in One Solution
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for HP Operations Manager provides two-way communications between
the HP Operations Manager console and Workload Automation, using the HP native messaging protocol
(opcmsg). The adapter delivers Workload Automation environmental information to the HP Operations Manager
console and allows administrators to control Workload Automation job functions. To streamline integrating
Workload Automation and HP Operations Manager, the following components are provided with the adapter:
● Application templates for accepting messages sent by Workload Automation
● Message, monitor, and action templates
● Templates for monitoring Workload Automation services
