OpenManage Enterprise operation

The OpenManage Enterprise operations define how to interact with DELL OME and represent a specific action (Query) to be performed against a specific file.

Create a separate operation component for each action/object combination that your integration requires.

The OpenManage Enterprise operations support the following action:

  • Inbound: Query

Options tab

Click Import Operation, then use the Import wizard to select the object to integrate. When you configure an action (Query), the following fields appear on the Options tab:

Connector Action - Determines the type of operation the connector is performing related to inbound, specify the proper connector action. Depending on how you create the operation component, the action type is either configurable or non-configurable from the drop-down list.

Response Profile - The response profile highlights the format (Structured or Unstructured) in which the response is to be processed. The format will always be set as Unstructured as this connector deals with files and not the content within the file.

Object - Displays the object type that you selected in the Import Operation wizard.

Tracking Direction - Select the document tracking direction for the operation, either Input Documents or Output Documents. This setting enables you to choose which document appears in Process Reporting. Start steps always track output documents regardless of your selection.

note

If the tracking direction is read-only, the feature to change the direction is either unavailable or the developer set the configuration to read-only. The default value you see shows you which document appears in Process Reporting.

Return Application Error Responses - This setting controls whether an application error prevents an operation from completing:

  • If you clear the setting, the process stops and reports the error on the Process Reporting page.
  • If you select the setting, processing continues and passes the error response to the next component processed as the connection output.

Filters
Only one filter expression can be created. If you need to set multiple filter expressions, you need a separate connection for each. The current OpenManage Enterprise connector does not allow nested expressions in query strings. The filter expression can also be created within AND/OR Logical Sub-Group. The following are the fields under the filter expression section.

  • Filter Name — The name of the filter expression.
  • Field — Criteria based on what you want the files to be searched (ID, SeverityType, TimeStamp).
  • Operator — These field values vary based on the search criteria previously selected.
    • ID: Equal To.
    • SeverityType: Equal To.
    • TimeStamp: Greater Than or Equal, Less Than or Equal.

Query

Query is an inbound action that looks up data in Dell OME and returns zero to many object records from a single Query request based on filters. After you select the Query action and use the Import Wizard, the operation component page contains configuration options to add filters and set parameters as connection property to limit the results. You can refine the query on the Filters tab and define expressions to create required query logic.
