Managing the Integration Services

OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM enables you to manage its event, topology, and metric integration services.

The integration service names in this section apply to an OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM configuration where the first integrated instance is Microsoft SCOM 2012. In case of a different configuration, adjust the command arguments accordingly. For more information, see Integration Services topic.

Starting and Stopping the Services

While you do not need to manually start or stop the integration services in normal circumstances once OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM is configured, there may be cases when this action is required. To start or stop the integration services, perform these steps:

1. Open a Command Prompt window with administrative privileges.

2. To start or stop the event, topology, or metric integration service for a Microsoft SCOM instance, run the appropriate command:

   ovc -start <ServiceName>

   ovc -stop <ServiceName>

   In these instances, <ServiceName> is scom2012e, scom2012t, or scom2012m.

3. To start or stop all integration services for all Microsoft SCOM instances that are integrated with OpsCx for Microsoft SCOM, run the appropriate command:

   ovc -start SCOM

   ovc -stop SCOM

2. To restart the event, topology, and metric integration services for a Microsoft SCOM instance, run the following commands:

   ovc -restart scom2012e
