Business object attributes - The specific attributes of the objects that are
needed either for input or output and their data types.
Input objects and input object attributes identify the data that the process
management product passes to the integration module. If the logical management
operation is configured with input attributes and does not contain an input object,
the process management product can pass any business object that has the
required input attributes. If an input object is specified, the process management
product must pass the business object to the integration module. The response
object and attributes identify the data that the integration module returns.
Integration Module Prerequisites
The integration module implements the logical management operation task using
the operational management product. Before any integration module
implementations occur, you must ensure the logical management operation is
associated to one or more integration modules. The integration module then must
have an association with an operational management product. Finally, the logical
management operations on each operational management product must be
enabled.
Logical Management Operation Associations
Typically, there is a one-to-one communication between a logical management
operation and an operational management product function. However, a single
logical management operation invocation can cause the integration module to
invoke an operational management product multiple times.
An integration module that uses an invocation channel can run logical
management operations only in the following circumstances:
T The source object that is defined on the logical management operation
must match the main object of the request object structure that you define
on the invocation channel.
T If the invocation channel is not configured to process a response, you
cannot associate a response object with the logical management operation.
T The response object that you define on the logical management operation
must match the main object of the response object structure that you
define on the invocation channel. The match must occur when you
configure the invocation channel to process a response.
Operational Management Product Associations
The integration module can support multiple logical management operations for
an operational management product. When you run the integration module, you
pass the logical management operation name and name space as input. The input
arguments dictate the action that the integration module takes.
