Integration Framework for User Interface Integration When invoked by a process management product, the integration module uses data that is passed by the process management product to assist in the invocation of the operational management product service. The integration module may also return the operational management product response data to the process management product. When installed, integration modules include the logical management operations that they support for an operational management product. Depending upon the level of complexity, you can implement an integration module as a Java class or an invocation channel. Operational Management Products Operational management products are external products that you can use to perform information technology services. IBM® Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM), Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM), and IBM® Tivoli® Configuration Manager (TCM) are examples of operational management products. Operational management products provide services that external applications (integration modules) can invoke to initiate operational management product actions. Operational management product definitions are registered in the system and can be loaded from the discovery engine using the Integration Composer. You can also load operational management product definitions by using the features of the integration framework, such as object structure services. The operational management product definitions include properties of the operational management product, such as a host name. The definitions also include configuration item relationships for those configuration items that are managed by the operational management product. Integration Framework for User Interface Integration Launch Entries The integration framework provides components and features that support user interface-based integration between the system applications and the external applications. You create a launch entry record in the Launch in Context application. A launch entry defines the URL of an external application that you use to open an external application. Launch entries can have the following properties: T Specific business objects or multiple objects to identify the objects that can restrict the use of a launch entry to certain applications T Context by substituting object field values into the URL string T An object classification value that controls the launch entry visibility in a user interface (only show the launch entry on the user interface based on Integration Framework Architecture 15
