(optional) Step 6. Sending events to a BMC Impact Manager cell

Specifying BA displays the Event Action BEIM - event type panel which allows you to send events from MainView AutoOPERATOR to a BMC Impact Manager cell or other BMC products with a cell adaptor.

Note

This panel appears only if you have specified PRODUCT=IIZ in BBPARM member BBISSP00.

For more information about customization steps that must be completed to send MainView AutoOPERATOR events to a BMC Impact Manager cell, refer to Chapter 19, 'Implementing the MainView AutoOPERATOR Interface to BMC Impact Manager' in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Customization Guide.

Use this panel to:

  • specify event data that the Rule sends to a BMC Impact Manager cell or other BMC products with a cell adaptor

    Any event type can be sent to a BMC Impact Manager cell or other BMC products with a cell adaptor except IBM MQ non-event type messages. IBM MQ instrumentation events can be sent.

  • specify whether the Rule write event diagnostic information to the BBI Journal
  • specify targets to the send the event to
  • specify a new class name to be associated with the slots and values
  • specify a severity to be associated with the event
  • specify a component alias for event correlation against objects in the Service Impact Model (SIM)

For information about fields on this panel, refer to Event-Action-BEIM-fields.

The following figure shows an example of the panel for the event type MSG.
