2 Installing the Microsoft SCOM REST Event Connector and Web Service

Microsoft SCOM's API uses a model that prevents Oracle Enterprise Manager from sending alerts directly through the Event Connector framework. To work around this limitation, this connector includes a web service and a management pack, which enables the communication of alerts from Oracle Enterprise Manager to SCOM.

In addition to configuring the connector, you must install the web service and the management pack. The installation files for both are located within the Self Update download for this connector.

Topics

• Downloading the Connector
• Downloading the Installation Files
• Importing the Management Pack

Downloading the Connector

1. From the Setup menu, select Extensibility, then select Self Update.
2. On the Self Update page, select Management Connector.
3. Enter SCOM REST Event Connector in the Search Description field and select the latest version from the results.
4. Click Download to download the connector and then select the connector and click Apply.
   
5. From the Actions menu, select Export to and export a .zip file of the connector files to a desired location.

Downloading the Installation Files

1. Unzip the folder containing the connector files and open the archives/ directory.
2. Transfer the following files to appropriate locations:
   • OracleEnterpriseManager.Alert.Creator.xml: Transfer to the same host where Microsoft SCOM is installed.

     OracleEnterpriseManager.Alert.Creator.xml or the Oracle Enterprise Manager Alert Creator management pack creates the monitoring views and the tasks required to generate alerts in the Microsoft SCOM Operations console. Make a note of the path to OracleEnterpriseManager.Alert.Creator.xml on the host, as this will be required when importing it. For information, see Importing the Management Pack.

   • WebService.jar: Transfer to the host where you want the Event Connector Web Service to run. Ensure that this host can communicate with both the Microsoft SCOM Web Service and the OMS environment.

Importing the Management Pack

1. In the Administration pane of the Microsoft SCOM Operations console, select Administration, and then select Management Packs.
2. Right-click on Management Packs and select Import Management Packs.
   The Import Management Packs dialog box is displayed.
3. Select Add, and then select Add from disk.

   If prompted during the process, select Yes to search for missing local dependencies.

4. Navigate to the directory where the OracleEnterpriseManager.Alert.Creator.xml (Oracle Enterprise Manager Alert Creator management pack) file is located, and select the file to import.
5. Verify that the Oracle Enterprise Manager Alert Creator management pack is successfully imported by checking the following in the Microsoft SCOM Operations console:
   • The Oracle Enterprise Manager Alert Creator management pack is displayed in the Administration view.
   • The Oracle Enterprise Manager Event Monitoring alerts folder is displayed in the Monitoring view.
   • The Create Windows Event from Oracle Enterprise Manager Event management pack object task is displayed in the Authoring view.
