The Event connector can collect CA OPS/MVS EMA alarms and dispatch them to CA SOI. CA OPS/MVS EMA is a mainframe event management tool that acts as a console for mainframe events and lets you write event automation rules.
When you dispatch CA OPS/MVS EMA alarms to CA SOI, the alarms appear as events in the Event Store and infrastructure alerts in the Operations Console. Each alert generates a Server class CI associated with the CA OPS/MVS EMA server and the entity on which the trap is reporting (batch job number, for example). Include the CIs in a service to monitor mainframe alarms in the context of services. You can add functionality such as escalation policy and enrichment to the alerts to enhance the provided information.
The connector collects CA OPS/MVS EMA alarms through SNMP traps and can be installed anywhere relative to the product. To enable SNMP traps to reach the Event connector, you must configure its server as a trap destination in CA OPS/MVS EMA.
After configuring the trap destination, you must configure the port information in the mfopsmvs-src.xml source policy from the CA Event Integration administrative interface, add the mfopsmvs-src.xml file to the samevent catalog, and redeploy the catalog for the connector to begin collecting CA OPS/MVS EMA alarms and dispatching them to CA SOI.
Important! The default CA OPS/MVS EMA source policy is a basic framework for collecting traps from the product. Edit the mfopsmvs-src.xml file directly to customize the policy to appropriately process the traps in your environment. For more information about policy customization, see the CA Event Integration Product Guide.
