Integration Module Components
An integration module is composed of defined integration framework
components. You can configure the integration module to be implemented as a
Java class or as an invocation channel.
When you install the integration module, integration module artifacts with the
Java class and XSL files are provided. An integration module also provides logical
management operation definitions.
The integration module definition includes the following information:
T Name, version, and description
T Operational management product and version - Identifies the operational
management product and version that the integration module can run.
T Handler - Identifies the protocol that the integration module uses to
invoke an operational management product.
T Integration module implementation choice - Either a Java class or
invocation channel.
The following components are contained in the integration module definition:
T The logical management operations that the integration module supports.
T The integration module properties that are unique to the integration
module. Use the properties to configure the behavior of the integration
module.
Operational Management Products
An operational management product, such as Tivoli Provisioning Manager,
automates system processes, such as software deployment. Operational
management product services are run on assets, such as servers. The assets are
referred to as configuration items.
Multiple instances of operational management products can exist in a production
environment. More than one operational management product can manage a
single configuration item. Each operational management product has its own
unique identifier, a source token, for each configuration item.
The database includes a repository of operational management product and
configuration item information. This information includes relationships between
the operational management products and configuration items, and the source
tokens that drive the integration between process management products and
operational management products.
You can load operational management products and configuration items into the
system database from a discovery engine, such as Tivoli Application Dependency
Discovery, or an asset management database. First load your operational
management product and configuration item data into the discovery engine using
the bulk loader interface. The discovery engine combines data from multiple
sources into one data model. You can use the IBM
