Overview of impact management in Infrastructure Management Server Cell notification events

Impact management in the Infrastructure Management Server Cell can generate events that notify you of changes to components in the service model. These events are called notification events. The following are the types of notification events:

• SIM_COMPONENT_CHANGE

• SIM_COMPONENT_DELETE

• SIM_COMPONENT_OVERWRITE

• SIM_RELATIONSHIP_CHANGE

• SIM_RELATIONSHIP_DELETE

   

The SIM_COMPONENT_DELETE and SIM_RELATIONSHIP_DELETE events are generated when you remove a configuration item or an impact relationship from the published service model. The SIM_COMPONENT_CHANGE and SIM_RELATIONSHIP_CHANGE events are generated when a configuration item or an impact relationship is altered by the cell because of a change in status or priority.

Impact management in the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server Cell generates these notification events on request by a client. For example, the BMC Impact Portal can register to receive notification events just as a gateway client can. Another BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server Cell or even the Impact management in the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server Cell containing the impact management model can register to receive notification events.
