Using EMS Profiles for CA Mediation Manager for Infrastructure Management 2.0, Release 2.2.2 › EMS Integration Profiles › Add EMS Integration Profiles

Add EMS Integration Profiles

You can create EMS integration profiles to specify how EMS inventory discovery operates in your Data Aggregator environment.

Note: You must be logged in as an administrator to perform this task.

Creating EMS integration profiles without first setting the scope to a tenant puts the profile in the global space, accessible by all tenants. Running a discovery using a profile in the global space lets anyone see the discovery results, whether they set the scope to a tenant.

Therefore, set the scope to a tenant before you create an EMS integration profile to make that profile accessible to a specific tenant only. After you set the scope to a tenant, the tenant indicator appears at the top right of the page. You can then synchronize the tenant with CA Infrastructure Management manually, or wait for the automatic synchronization to occur. You cannot create the EMS integration profile until the tenant is synchronized with Data Aggregator.

Note: For more information about setting the scope to a tenant and synchronizing a tenant, see the CA Performance Center Administrator Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Admin, Data Source Settings, and click a Data Aggregator data source in the CA Performance Center user interface.
2. Click EMS Integration Profiles from the Monitoring Configuration menu.

   The EMS Integration Profiles page opens, displaying a list of available discovery profiles.

3. Click New.

   The Add EMS Discovery Profile dialog opens.

4. Enter the required information in the fields. The configuration fields that display depend on the device pack you select. Each device pack has unique global variables that you configure.

   Note: For information about unique global variables for each product, see the CA Support site.

5. Click Save.

   The EMS integration profile is created.

   The inventory discovery does not run automatically when you click Save and the Enabled option is selected. The inventory discovery only runs when one of the following conditions is met:

   • The inventory poll schedule is reached.
   • You manually start the EMS Integration Profile.
