HP Operations Manager for Windows

HP NNM Adapter utilities


The following utilities are installed with the HP NNM Adapter:

ConfNnmTools.vbs

This utility configures the NNM web server and enables the Customer Views tool in HP Operations Manager. If Customer Views is installed before the HP NNM Adapter is installed, the HP NNM Adapter installation process automatically configures Customer Views as a web tool in NNM.

To be used if Customer Views is installed after the HP NNM Adapter installation or if the NNM web server configuration needs to be changed. For example, location or port: secure -insecure. This utility is located on the HP Operations Manager server system in this directory:

%OvInstallDir%\NnmAdapter\bin

The default location is:

C:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\NnmAdapter\bin

DwRefresh.exe

This utility starts NgNnmDwProvider refresh on demand, so that you can manually start the update process that occurs at regular intervals in the NgNnmProvider. The default update interval is one hour. The DwRefresh.exe utility is useful for actualizing data in NgNnmDwProvider before it does an auto update.

When the HP NNM entry in the Discovered Nodes list is expanded, nodes are retrieved from the NgNnmProvider, which means that the node list may be out-of-date by as much as the update interval. For example, if the last regular update occurred at 13:00, then the next update should occur at 14:00. However, if DwRefresh.exe is started at 13:20, then the update occurs immediately and the next update will occur at 14:00. DwRefresh.exe starts the updating process asynchronously (it does not wait for the previous update process to finish.)

The DwRefresh.exe utility is located on the HP Operations Manager server system and on the NNM server system. On the NNM server system, the file is located here:

<HP BTO product base dir>\Installed Packages\{c9322d6f-d88c-11d3-98e3-080009ef5cb}\bin

On the HP Operations server system, the file is located here:

C:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\NnmAdapter\bin

This utility controls the NgNnmUpdater service. To view the current status of the updater service (NgNnmUpdater), type updater status. Output includes the following information: Use updater update to start the update process manually. This is the same update process that occurs at regular intervals. The default update interval is one day. The Updater.exe utility is located on the HP Operations server system in this directory:

%OvInstallDir%\NnmAdapter\bin

The default installation location is:

C:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\NnmAdapter\bin
