Integration Framework for Operational Management Product Integration operations and integration modules. The process management product provides an action class that initiates the call to an integration module, and subsequently the operational management product. The process management product then processes the response from the operational management product. Process management product processing can involve saving a value to the system database or displaying the response to you from a user interface, or both. Action A process management product can implement a custom action Java class to call an integration module. An action can be associated with a system application, a system workflow, or a system escalation. When you initiate the action, the system runs the registered Java class, which can be coded to call an integration module. The integration module then calls the operational management product. Logical Management Operations A logical management operation, such as a software deployment, defines the action that the process management product takes on the operational management product. Typically, a process management product takes action against a configuration item, such as a server. Logical management product definitions act as the interface between the process management product and the integration module. The logical management operation allows the integration module and the process management product to be designed and implemented, independent of each other. A logical management product created by an integration module would identify the actions that the integration module supports for an operational management product. A logical management product created by a process management product identifies the actions the process management product needs the integration module to support. The logical management product record identifies the following properties: T The name and description of the action that it supports T Whether operational management processing is synchronous or asynchronous T The input (source) and output (target) objects and fields that are required for the logical management product Integration Modules The integration module provides a mechanism for a process management product, such as change or release, to invoke an external operational management product. The integration module provides the capability for a process management product to communicate with an operational management product for specific logical management operation actions. The integration module is the integration component that resides between the process management product and the operational management product. 14 Integration Guide
