8.1 Settings to link to JP1/IM

The figure below shows the procedure for checking problems from Asset Console, based on JP1 event information and SNMP trap information that you obtain by linking Asset Console to JP1/IM. For details about the required programs, see 6.2.3 System configuration linked to JP1/IM - Manager.

Figure 8‒1: Procedure for checking problems from Asset Console

To link to JP1/IM - Manager:

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 Console, the JP1 event that notifies of the resolution completion sends it to the JP1/IM - Manager server via JP1/Base. Then the automatic action function causes the JP1/IM - Manager problem information status to be updated (resolution completion notification).

For details about setting automatic collection of JP1 events, see 8.1.1(1) Setting automatic collection of JP1 events. For details about setting resolution completion notification, see 8.1.1(2) Setting error completion notification.

For details about the automatic action function, see the JP1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
Select settings to forward JP1 events.

To forward a JP1 event from Asset Console, 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 8.1.2 Settings to forward JP1 events.
Change issued JP1 events.

The event generation definition file is used to define the types of JP1 events to be issued from Asset Console. By default, all JP1 events are issued. For details about defining the event generation definition file, see 8.1.3 Changing issued JP1 events.
Set automatic login.

In the Group and User job menu for Asset Console, set a password in advance for the user provided for linkage. This will let you log in automatically without entering a user ID and password when viewing the Problem Details dialog box of Asset Console 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 16.1 Changing user and group information (Group and User).

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 9.1.1(3) Flow of import using the jamimport command.
