Integrating with BMC Helix Operations Management (PTF BQO3954 applied)
You can configure BMC Impact Integration for z/OS (BiiZ) to send events and publish ALERTs from Rules and EXECs to the BMC Helix Operations Management product. For information about the BMC Helix Operations Management product, see BMC Helix Operations Management.
Prerequisites
You must have the following items before you can integrate BiiZ with BMC Helix Operations Management:
- A working curl program
An application key from BMC Helix Operations Management
See Quick start to monitoring for information about acquiring the BMC Helix Operations Management application key.
Configuring BiiZ
Edit BBPARM member AAOGMExx and enter values for the following parameters:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
TGTIP | Specify the connection name |
TGTBIMCF | Specify the BBPARM member IIMRSTxx, which is the configuration member for REST API. |
TGTTYPE | Specify the value: RESTAPI |
Edit and specify values for the following parameters in BBPARM member IIMRSTxx :
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Server_event_path | Optional Specify the path to the evets service. Default value: /events-service/api/v1.0/events |
API_Key | Required Specify the API key obtained from the BMC Helix Operations Management to be able to send events. |
Server_event_port | Optional Specify the Helix port number. The default value is 443. |
Server_event_url | |
Curl_path | Required Specify the full path name, including the curl command to be used to send the events. For example: /usr/bin/curl |
Curl_parms | Optional Specify the curl parameters. Default value: --insecure --connect-timeout 10 --use-ascii |
After you edit BBPARM member IIMRSTxx , BiiZ will send events to <serverEventUrl>:<serverEventPort><serverEventPath>.
Defining BiiZ Classes in BMC Helix Operations Management
To define BiiZ classes, we supply a sample shell script in BBSAMP member IIMRESTC. Review and edit the following parameters at the top of the script:
curl_cmd='<curlPath>'
access_key=<HelixAccessKey>
secret_key=<HelixSecretKey>
tenant_id=<HelixTenantID>
You can run this script from USS.
