The figure below shows the procedure for checking problems from Asset Information Manager, based on JP1 event information and SNMP trap information that you obtain by linking Asset Information Manager to JP1/IM. For details about the required programs, see 4.2.3 System configuration linked to JP1/IM - Manager.

Figure 6-3 Procedure for checking the problems from Asset Information Manager

To link to JP1/IM - Manager:

1. Set the JP1/IM - Manager automatic action setting, which will result in automatic collection of JP1 events and automatic notification of resolution completion
   When problem information is collected at a JP1/IM - Manager server, the automatic action facility notifies the asset management server via JP1/Base (automatic collection of JP1 events). When problem resolution completion is registered by Asset Information Manager, the JP1 event that notifies of the resolution completion sends it to the JP1/IM - Manager server via JP1/Base, and the automatic action facility causes the JP1/IM - Manager problem information status to be reflected (resolution completion notification).
   For details about setting automatic collection of JP1 events, see 6.2.1(1) Setting automatic collection of JP1 events. For details about setting resolution completion notification, see 6.2.1(2) Setting error completion notification.
   For details about the automatic action facility, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager System Configuration and User's Guide.
   
2. Choose settings to forward JP1 events
   To forward a JP1 event from Asset Information Manager, you must specify environment settings so that JP1/Base automatically forwards JP1 events to other event servers. For details about automatic forwarding of JP1 events, see 6.2.2 Settings to forward JP1 events.
   

   When linking with JP1/Integrated Manager - Central Console version 07-00 or earlier

   After step 2, copy to the appropriate folder the definition files that are required for displaying Asset Information Manager's Problem Details dialog box from JP1/Integrated Manager - Central Console's Event Console window. For details on the required definition files and the location they must be copied to, see 6.2.3 Copying definition files.

3. Change issued JP1 events
   The event issuance definition file is used to define the types of JP1 events to be issued from Asset Information Manager. By default, all JP1 events are issued. For details about defining the event issuance definition file, see 6.2.4 Changing issued JP1 events.
   
4. Set automatic login
   In the Group and User job menu for Asset Information Manager, by setting a password in advance for the user provided for linkage, you can log in automatically without entering the user ID and password when viewing the Problem Details dialog box of Asset Information Manager from the Event Console window. The user ID JP1_IM and the user name Event Manager are provided for linkage with JP1/IM. For details on setting a password, see 4.1 Changing user and group information (Group and User) in the manual Administrator's Guide.
   

   Deleting automatic login settings

   Once a password has been set, the automatic login setting can be deleted either by deleting the related user or by using the jamimport (import) command to change the password to a blank password.

   For details about importing using the jamimport command, see 7.1.1(3) Flow of import using the jamimport command.
