Integrating NNM Applications into OVO
Applications that are a part of Network Node Manager (NNM) are
automatically integrated into the HP OpenView platform. As a result,
you can easily integrate these applications into OVO as OV Applications
or OV Services.
Limitations of NNM Integration
NNM Integration into OVO has the following limitations:
❏ Daemons
If you have so defined them in the application registration file (ARF),
OV Application and OV Service integrations can cause a daemon to
start running when the OVO session is started.
❏ Desktop Icons
By integrating OVO as an OV Application, you integrate a single
action as a desktop icon (as defined in the ARF).
❏ Menu Items
By integrating OVO as an OV Service, you integrate all actions as
menu items (as defined in the ARF).
NOTE New users who do not have the IP Map application assigned can still log
into OVO and run the command ovw -map . This command
opens a read-only IP Map for the specified user. The read-only IP Map is
also present each time the same user subsequently starts OVO. However,
the user cannot perform any actions with the read-only IP Map. The full
menus and services that are usually present in the IP Map window are
not available. As an OVO administrator, make sure that the directory
tree /var/opt/OV/share/databases/openview/mapdb is owned by root.
