Configuring CA Automation Point CA NSM Objects Using Configuration Manager

In addition to using REXX scripting to manage CA NSM objects, you can also use Configuration Manager to create and delete objects representing CA Automation Point sessions. The CA NSM WorldView Repository dialog in Configuration Manager provides two options for configuring CA Automation Point CA NSM objects.

• Express configuration. Use this option to specify that all CA Automation Point sessions defined in the active session definition set are to be represented. You automatically create a CA Automation Point server object, and within this object, a CA NSM object for each CA Automation Point session defined in the active session definition set.
• Advanced Configuration. Use this option to add or delete CA Automation Point CA NSM objects individually. The CA Automation Point server object is queried using the active session definition set to determine which sessions have CA NSM representation. An Advanced dialog shows a list of CA Automation Point sessions and designates which ones are represented. You can add or delete CA NSM objects for the sessions.

After you have used Configuration Manager to configure CA Automation Point CA NSM objects, the CA NSM WorldView map reflects your actions by accessing an object within Managed Objects entitled APServerGroup. An object named after the CA Automation Point server displays within this group. When you drill down into this server, you will see representations of the CA Automation Point sessions you have configured.

To configure CA Automation Point CA NSM objects using Configuration Manager

1. In Configuration Manager, choose Expert Interface, Automation, Events Interface, CA NSM WorldView Repository.

   The CA NSM WorldView Repository dialog displays.

2. In the Configure AP CA NSM Objects area of the CA NSM WorldView Repository dialog, click Express to perform express configuration or Advanced to perform advanced configuration. For details on these options, refer to the dialog help.
3. If you select Express configuration, and an AP server object already exists, you are prompted to delete this object to ensure that only active session definitions are represented. Follow this instruction. At the end of the configuration, a summary dialog displays telling you the number of objects created.

   If you select Advanced configuration, the Configure AP CA NSM Objects – Advanced dialog displays. Use the Create and Delete buttons on this dialog to add or delete CA NSM objects. Use the dialog help to assist you. Close the dialog when you are finished.

4. Click OK to save your changes.
