Backsync for MicroFocus OBM

Backsync is the process that is part of the Closed Loop Incident Process ("CLIP"), which enables closing out or annotating events in a source system after it is closed in a destination.

Step 1: Create a new connected server.

Within OBM, select "Administration=>Setup and Maintenance=>Connected Servers". 

Select the following options:

• Display Label: StreamWeaver
• FQDN: Name of the target StreamWeaver system
• CI type: Management System
• Delivery Options: Serial Per Source
• Integration Type - Call external event web service
• URL path: /streamweaver/v3/mediators/backsync
• User name: swp 
• Password: swp1234
• Port: 7456
• Secure HTTP: Uncheck

Step 2: Set up an Event Forwarding rule to forward closed events

Within OBM, select "Administration=>Event Processing=>Event Forwarding". 

Create a new Event Forwarding Rule to forward "Resolved/Closed" events. 

This will require setting up a new event filter:

Complete the form by adding the target server created earlier

Scroll to the section "Event Synchronization Settings", and change the value of "Forward Closed Events to Server" to true
