Enterprise Adapter for HP Operations Manager provides two-way communications between the HP Operations 

Manager console and Enterprise Scheduler, using the HP native messaging protocol (opcmsg). The adapter 

delivers scheduler environmental information to the HP Operations Manager console and allows administrators to 

control scheduler job functions. To streamline integrating Enterprise Scheduler and HP Operations Manager, the 

following components are provided with the adapter: 

● 

Application templates for accepting messages sent by Enterprise Scheduler 

● 

Message, monitor, and action templates 

● 

Templates for monitoring Enterprise Scheduler services 

Features and Benefits 

This adapter makes it simpler for users to manage enterprise scheduling through HP Operations Manager. The 

adapter also simplifies the integration of Enterprise Scheduler into HP Operations Manager, making it possible to 

view scheduling within the management framework. HP Operations Manager users can leverage Enterprise 

Adapter for HP Operations Manager to help them streamline the management of their broader environment. 

The adapter offers the following capabilities: 

Advanced Events Management 

– When an abnormality, such as a job that runs too long, occurs in the Enterprise 

Scheduler environment, job process information, including log files, is delivered to the HP Operations Manager 

console. When exceptions or abnormal events take place, the pre-programmed scheduler job definition notifies the 

HP Operations Manager console of the condition. An operator can then create custom messages and severity 

levels that can be associated with specific application jobs and conditions. Supported severity levels include 

critical, major, minor, warning, normal, and unknown. In addition, messages generated by Enterprise Scheduler 

and displayed in the HP Operations Manager console are annotated and include help text. 

Automated Response Initiation for Priority Events 

– For all jobs, especially those of the highest priority, custom 

messages and recovery actions can be configured from the HP Operations Manager console. Some of the 
messages provided by Enterprise Scheduler have embedded actions associated with them. Clicking “Perform 
Action” in the HP Operations Manager console sets them in motion. 

To strengthen processing throughput and accelerate events resolution, ad hoc and user-initiated actions can also 

be saved and reconfigured to become automated HP Operations Manager tasks. These pre-programmed actions 

can be grouped and linked, creating a cascade of diagnostic or recovery tasks that pinpoint the root cause of a 

workflow problem. 

Job Control from HP Operations Manager 

– The integration of Enterprise Scheduler and HP Operations 

Manager enables IT operations staff to control jobs scheduling from the HP OM console. An administrator can start 

or restart Enterprise Scheduler jobs, stop and start agents, and perform other workflow automation functions from 

HP Operations Manager. These functions can be performed manually or incorporated into the earlier-discussed 

events management solutions. Events can be prioritized, issues can be diagnosed, and jobs can be restarted or 

terminated

—automatically.
