Configure Message Forwarding

CA Workload Automation AE works with Event Management to collect events from running programs or scripts that generate them and provides a complete view of the ongoing processing in your enterprise. Event Management checks which messages are important and responds to them based on user-defined policies.

After installing and configuring Event Management, you must configure the CA Workload Automation AE server to activate its message forwarding interface so that messages are forwarded to the Event Management console.

Note: On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is UnicenterEvents.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

    The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

  2. Select an instance from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
  3. Click the Integration icon on the toolbar.

    The Integration - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

  4. Click the Messaging tab, select the Forward All CA WAAE Scheduler Log Messages to Event Management check box, and click Apply.

    All CA Workload Automation AE messages are forwarded to the Event Management console.

  5. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

    The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

  6. Right-click the scheduler service, and click Pause.

    The scheduler pauses.

  7. Right-click the scheduler service, and click Resume.

    The scheduler resumes. Any messages written to the scheduler log now also appear in the Event Management console.

Note: You can write Event Management policies to act on any or all forwarded messages from CA Workload Automation AE. For information about writing and implementing Event Management policies, see the CA NSM Inside Event Management and Alert Management Guide.
