Synchronizing with an external system

When HPE Service Manager is used with a separate external system, the changes and tasks must be synchronized between the two systems. Event Services supplies two methods of sending output to the external system for this task.

First, a simple acknowledgment can be sent to the external system. This acknowledgment contains enough data to map the HPE Service Manager change or task number to the unique ID used in the external system, along with enough messages to determine if the input event was successful.

Alternatively, a complete output event may be sent to an external system in order to synchronize every piece of data between the two systems.
