Course Overview
The Operations Bridge Manager (formerly known as Operations Manager i) is the core component of the OpenText Operations Bridge solution.
This two-day course about Operations Bridge Manager (OBM) teaches students how to leverage the OBM solution to bring continuous monitoring for their application and/or server. Students learn how to manage quality information throughout the event lifecycle, from the time an event is received till its closure.
It provides an opportunity to develop hands-on experience in applying the fundamental principles, methodologies, and capabilities to manage events using OBM.
The course uses lectures and a series of hands-on labs to teach the course material. The hands-on lab for this course uses the latest version of the classic OBM software.
Highlights:
- Overview of OpsB
- Overview of OBM
- Overview of OBM architecture
- Synopsis of Event Perspective
- Outline of Health Perspective
- Summary of Performance Perspective
- Overview of Monitoring dashboard
