2 Installing the Connector

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Connector Framework requires a web service interface for exchanging event information with Microsoft SCOM. To integrate with Enterprise Manager, a third-party SCOM web service front-end must be installed. In addition to the web service front-end, an Oracle SCOM Agent must also be installed. Both of these components are included in the Oracle Enterprise Manager installation package.

You can install the web service on any Unix or Windows system that has connectivity with the SCOM server. In addition to the SCOM web service front-end, you must also install a back-end SCOM Agent. The Oracle SCOM Agent is preconfigured and is also included in the Oracle Enterprise Manager installation package.

Figure 2–1 shows the communication between the various components of the SCOM Connector.

Installing the Microsoft SCOM Web Service

The SCOM web service acts as a front-end for all data flowing into and out of SCOM. Oracle Enterprise Manager posts calls to the web service whenever it needs to create or update an alert, or get new or updated alerts from SCOM.

You can install the SCOM web service on any Unix or Windows system that has connectivity to the Oracle SCOM Agent and the Oracle Enterprise Manager server.

Installing and Running the Microsoft SCOM Web Service on Unix

The following sections explain how to install and then subsequently run the Web Service.

Installing the Web Service on Unix

To install the web service on a Unix platform, perform the following steps:

1. Create a directory where you want to install the web service.

2. Open a terminal and change the working directory to the installation directory.

3. Download the SCOM_webservices_adapter.jar file from the Oracle Technology Network to the installation directory, then extract the component .jar files.

4. Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the directory where Java 1.6 is installed.

5. Enter the following command to unzip and extract the .jar file:

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/jar xvf SCOM_webservices_adapter.jar
   

   This creates the adapters directory that contains the installation files.

   Note:

   If the system where the SCOM web service is being installed does not have the JDK installed, you cannot extract the jar file contents. You need to copy the jar file to a system that has the JDK installed and transfer the files after they have been extracted.

14. If the web service was configured to run using the HTTPS protocol, you must install a SSL certificate. You can install a self-signed certificate, or you can acquire a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA).

    • To generate and install a self-signed SSL certificate, enter the following commands, and replace <hostname> with the system host name or IP address that the SCOM web service will use:

      "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" –delete -alias iwave -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
      
      "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -genkey -alias iwave -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -dname "CN=<hostname>, OU=Development, O=iWave Software, L=Frisco, ST=TX, C=US" -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
      

    • To install a certificate that the Certificate Authority issues:

      • Request a certificate from a Certificate Authority, such as VeriSign.

        In the certificate request, make sure to specify the host name or IP address that the SCOM web service will use. The host name in the certificate must match the host name configured for the web service. If they do not match, the web service cannot function.

      • After you obtain the certificate from the Certificate Authority, enter the following command to install the certificate, where <certificateFile> is the full path name of the file provided by the Certificate Authority:

        "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -export -alias iwave -file <certificateFile> -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
        

The web service framework is now installed and ready to start.

If the Microsoft SCOM Web Service was configured to use the HTTPS protocol, the certificate must be imported into Enterprise Manager. See Section 2.3.3, "Adding Signed Certificates to Enterprise Manager" for instructions.

   2. Issue the following command to extract the certificate:

      — Unix platforms:

      $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -exportcert -alias iwave -file SCOMws.cer -keystore keystore.jks -storepass iwavepw
      

      — Windows platforms:

      "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -exportcert -alias iwave -file SCOMws.cer -keystore keystore.jks -storepass iwavepw
      

   3. Transfer the certificate file SCOMws.cer to the system where Enterprise Manager is installed.

2. Open a new terminal and set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the directory where OMS is installed.

3. As Super Administrator, create a wallet using the following orapki utility command at the OMS host:

   orapki wallet create -wallet client -auto_login
   

4. Add the trusted certificate to the wallet by entering the following command:

   orapki wallet add -wallet client -trusted_cert -cert <certFile>
   

5. To view the content of the wallet, enter the following command:

   orapki wallet display -wallet client
   

   Verify that the certificate that was added is listed in the Trusted Certificates.

6. Start Oracle Wallet Manager and open the client wallet.

7. Click on Trusted Certificates and select Operations on the main menu.

8. Select Export All Trusted Certificates.

9. Save the file as certdb.txt.

10. Place the file certdb.txt in the connector home root directory ($OMS_HOME/sysman/connector).

    If the certdb.txt file already exists in the root directory, open the file and add the contents of your certdb.txt file to the existing content.

Java SSL can now use this file for communication between Oracle Enterprise Manager and the SCOM web service in HTTPS mode.

See Also:

For additional information on creating a wallet, see "Creating and Viewing Oracle Wallets with orapki" in the Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.2).

Adding Signed Certificates to cacerts

Do the following in Enterprise Manager to add signed certificates to the Java cacerts keystore:

1. Copy the certificate to the Enterprise Manager server system.

2. Determine the location of the JRE in the Oracle Home directory.

3. Open a command window and navigate to the JRE bin directory.

4. Enter the following command to add the certificate to the cacerts keystore:

   keytool -importcert -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts -storepass changeit -trustcacerts -file <certfile> -alias scomws_cert
   

5. Restart OMS by opening a command window, changing the working directory to <ORACLE_HOME>/oms10g/bin, and issuing the following commands:

   emctl stop oms
   emctl start oms
   

Oracle Enterprise Manager Alert Polling to SCOM

After installation and configuration, the alert connector automatically polls the SCOM web service for alerts to exchange alerts with Oracle Enterprise Manager. The poll cycle is configurable; the duration is specified in minutes with a minimum possible duration of 5 minutes.

For every poll cycle, the alert connector polls for up to (40 * polling interval) new or updated alerts in SCOM. The Oracle Enterprise Manager connector framework processes and acknowledges all of the alerts provided in the poll response.

Installing the Microsoft SCOM Connector in Oracle Enterprise Manager

The following procedure explains how to add the new SCOM Connector.

Note:

Table 2–1 provides descriptions for the parameters shown for the emctl command in this procedure.

1. Copy scom_connector.jar to $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/connector on the server hosting your OMS. For multiple OMSes, you need to copy the .jar file for all OMSes.

2. Run the following emctl command on all OMSes if you have a multi-OMS environment:

       $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl extract_jar connector –jar <jarfile> -cname      <connector_name>
   

   Note:

   The commands in this section and the following section reference the OMS_HOME environment variable. OMS_HOME must be set to the OMS sub-directory in the Enterprise Manager installation directory. For versions 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5, this is the oms10g directory. For version 11.1.0.1, this is the oms11g directory. Example settings of the OMS_HOME variable are /gc/OracleHomes/oms10g on a Unix platform running version 10.2.0.5, and C:\Oracle\Middleware2\oms11g on a Windows platform running version 11.1.0.1.

   This extracts the scom_connector.jar file to the following folder:

       $OMS_HOME/sysman/connector/SCOM_Connector/
   

   For example:

       emctl extract_jar connector -jar scom_connector.jar -cname "SCOM Connector"
   

3. Deploy the connector by running the following emctl command based on the Enterprise Manager version. You only need to run this step on one OMS.

   11.1.0.1

        $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl register_connector connector -dd       <connectorType.xml> repos_pwd <password>
   
   
   

   10.2.0.5

        $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl register_connector connector -dd          <connectorType.xml> -cs //<server>:<port>/<databaseSID>      -repos_user <username> -repos_pwd <password>
   

   For example:

       $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl register_connector connector -dd $OMS_HOME/     sysman/connector/SCOM_Connector/SCOMConnector.xml -repos_pwd $repospwd
   

The new SCOM connector should now appear in the Management Connectors page after the emctl register_connector command has loaded the connector, as shown in Figure 2–2.
