HP Operations Manager for Windows

Starting and stopping the HP BAC Adapter


The HP Business Availability Center Adapter (HP BAC Adapter) service is automatically started after it is installed.

If the HP BAC Adapter disconnects from HP SiteScope during operation, it tries to reconnect to the HP SiteScope at regular intervals. In the meantime, events are stored within the HP BAC Adapter.

If the HP BAC Adapter terminates from HP SiteScope during operation, the events not yet sent to HP SiteScope are lost.

Note NOTE:
Since the HP BAC Adapter is linked with HPOM API libraries, it might be necessary to stop the HP BAC Adapter before installing HPOM patches, and start it after the patch installation.

The HP BAC Adapter runs as a Windows service.

  1. On the HPOM management server, click Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Services.
  2. Right-click the service HP OpenView Operations Message Forwarder to BAC and select Start or Stop
