Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Setup and Configuration Workflow
-
Plan your integration strategy.
Consider the type of information you want to view in OMi from your third-party system: events, metrics, or topology.
Consider the data source: structured log files, databases, Web services data, SNMP traps, XML files, open message interface messages, or scheduled tasks.
-
Install Operations Connector.
You install Operations Connector locally on the third-party system that provides the integration data. Alternatively, install Operations Connector on any system that meets the installation requirements if you want to access remote data sources such as databases or receive SNMP traps or Web service data. For details on installing Operations Connector, see the interactive Operations Connector Installation and Upgrade section.
Alternatively, upgrade from a previous version of Operations Connector as described in the Operations Connector Installation and Upgrade section.
-
Run the
bsmc-conf.[bat|sh]
configuration script that is located in%ovdatadir%\installation\HPOprBSMC
on Windows, and/var/opt/OV/installation/HPOprBSMC
on Linux. -
Grant the OpsCx certificate request on OMi side.
-
Configure the Operations Connector instance as an Operations Connector connected server in OMi:
Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Connected Servers
For details on configuring an Operations Connector integration server in OMi, see How to Configure Operations Connector to Communicate with OMi topic.
-
Log on to Operations Connector.
To access Operations Connector from a Web browser or from within OMi, see How to Log on to Operations Connector topic.
-
Create or import policies that collect the integration data from the third-party system.
For details on obtaining out-of-the box integrations, see Available out-of-the-box Integrations topic.
For more information about importing policies developed on other servers (for example Operations Manager, Network Node Manager i, or other Operations Connector servers), see How to Import Policies topic.
You can also develop your own policies to collect data from different sources. Table: Policy Development Tasks provides links to the tasks you need to complete for the different data and policy types.
Table: Policy Development Tasks
-
Activate the policies.
When you create a new policy or import a policy, the policy exists in the Operations Connector policy repository but does not function yet. You must first activate the policy for it to start accessing the corresponding data source.
For details on activating policies, see How to Activate and Deactivate Policies topic.
-
View the data in OMi.
In OMi, open the applications that consume the integrated data and make sure OMi receives the expected data. For details on the applications that consume Operations Connector integration data, see Operations Connector Data Consumers topic.
For example, to view events in OMi, access OMi and open the Event Browser.
