Processing Messages Forwarded from Rules

Web MV may resemble the Remote Viewer regarding message transport, but the data source for the Web MV is completely different. Unlike the Remote Viewer, Web MV receives messages on a line-by-line basis. The messages Web MV receives are those forwarded from within the CA Automation Point message parsing routines, which are tightly integrated with CA Automation Point rules processing.

On the CA Automation Point server, a separate command processor is provided to asynchronously process the messages forwarded from rules processing. (This approach closely mimics the way CA Automation Point forwards messages to a CA NSM Event Management Console.) The following diagram explains this concept:

Unlike the process CA Automation Point uses to forward messages to a CA NSM Event Management Console, Web MV does not use rules keywords to enable the propagation of messages. The Enable Web MV field in the local session settings of the session definition set determines whether the specified session forwards messages through the Web MV Command Processor.

Note: You can enable Web Viewing in the global session settings to apply it to all defined sessions, unless specifically overridden at the session level.
