How do I facilitate communication between VisiBroker clients and OpenView?
The best way to communicate to OpenView is via a standard protocol called SNMP. There are many SNMP packages available on the market. Any of these packages would allow you to programmatically send SNMP traps (or events if you like) to OpenView. Also, VisiBroker processes can send user defined events to AppCenter using the CAPI or CORBA API, which can then send them on to OpenView as required by setting up an EventAction mechanism in AppCenter. It should be noted however that SNMP does not provide a great deal of security. AppCenter provides a SNMP agent and MIB to allow HP OpenView to see CORBA statistics.
