Event Management Integration

You can integrate CA Workload Automation AE with Event Management to automate manual problem resolution tasks, filter and consolidate multiple events, monitor for unusual conditions, and take proper corrective action.

The Event Management system collects 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.

With Event Management, you can do the following:

Identify events that are important to your organization and define message record and action profiles that specify the special processing that CA NSM performs when the events occur.
Define calendars that set dates and times for processing events.
Monitor event activity through the console log and immediately respond to events as they occur.
Define console log views that restrict message access to authorized users and user groups.

Important! To integrate CA Workload Automation AE with Event Management, you must have an Event Agent installed on the CA Workload Automation AE server. You can install the Event Agent from the CA Common Components DVD (shipped with CA Workload Automation AE) or CA NSM.

Notes:

CA Workload Automation AE requires Event Management r11 or r11.2. For more information about Event Management installation, see the CA Common Components Implementation Guide.
The Event Agent requires a valid CAICCI connection to the Event Manager computer if the manager is not installed locally on the CA Workload Automation AE server computer.
