Using HP OMU with CWA
Overview
CWA provides complete visibility to your production workload and allows you to handle exceptions, as needed. Job or
system-level events are defined to handle these exceptions. Each event can trigger one or more actions when CWA
detects the event condition. Using the HP OMU module, you can specify actions that send messages to HP OMU. These
messages are displayed to the responsible HP OMU operator, and contain information including the severity, data, time,
node, CWA event ID, and a brief description of the problem. Some messages also contain a predefined operator-initiated
action, that allow the operator to respond to the event with just a few mouse clicks.

This chapter covers the tasks that you perform with the HP OMU Integration:
Creating Actions, Job Events, and System Events
An action is a task or notification automatically performed by CWA in response to an event trigger that occurs for a
specific job, job group, or system event. Actions are linked to a job or system event through the Job Event Definition and
System Event Definition dialogs.

System Event Definition dialogs.
A job event connects job event triggers to actions. For the HP OMU integration, you must create a job event that sends
a message to HP OMU. For example, if any of your jobs complete with a Completed Abnormally status, that event can
trigger an HP ITO action to send a message to HP OMU, alerting the operator to the situation.

A system event allows you to assign actions to events generated by the CWA master. For example, you can send a
message to HP OMU any time the master is shut down. System events are useful for notification of conditions with global,
or system-wide effects.
