JP1 Version 12 JP1/Service Support Configuration and Administration Guide


4.1.2 Event-driven linkage with JP1 products using automated actions

All JP1 products issue JP1 events, for example, when the JP1 products themselves start or stop, and when a failure occurs. JP1/Service Support can link with other JP1 products by receiving these JP1 events via JP1/IM - Manager.

In JP1/Service Support, the Item forms for incident management and problem management provide settings that can be used for linkage with JP1 products. The following table lists these settings.

Table 4‒1: Item settings that can be used for linkage with JP1 products

JP1/Service Support receives JP1 events from JP1 products via an automated action defined in JP1/IM - Manager. For details about how to define this automated action, see 5.11.1(1) Examples of automated action definitions when linking with JP1 products. Also, JP1/Service Support sends JP1 events to link with JP1/IM - Manager via an automated action defined in JP1/IM - Manager. For details about how to define this automated action, see 5.11.1(2) Example automated action definitions when JP1/Service Support issues JP1 events.
