Roadmap
System Center Interoperability
Challenges Addressed
• Utilize multiple tools to manage IT environments• Management cannot see health
of IT investment in one place• Administrators need to be
experts in multiple technologies to handle issues from different sources• Help desk tickets manually
transcribed to incident management systems
• Interoperate with enterprise management & incident management systems• Forward alerts from SCOM 2007 R2
to enterprise management & incident management systems to create events and incidents• Inter-twining of tools/processes
to produce an effective, efficient solution

Operations Manager 2007 R2 Universal ConnectorProcessing flow
New alert forwarded to remote system in either XML or Unix Property file format
Provider on remote system creates a file (xml or property file) in a specified directory (%ProviderInstallDirectory%\UnvEvents\FromOpsMgr)
Customer’s integration picks up file from specified directory and inserts data into customer’s application
Customer’s integration creates a file in a specified directory with specific data to update Operations Manager alert, i.e.. TicketID, owner, custom fields (%ProviderInstallDirectory%\UnvEvents\%ManagementGroup%)
Universal Provider picks up Customer’s integration file and sends it back to Operations Manager to update alert
