Create an HPOM data source connection

Note: When you create a data source connection for HPOM on the Service Definition page, the same data source connection appears on the Operation Manager page as well. However, updating the data source connection on the Service Definition page does not update the connection details on the Operation Manager page.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Collection Configuration > Operations Manager.
    The Operations Manager page opens.
  2. Click Create New.
    The Connection Parameters dialog box opens.
    Note: If you are using the database method of authentication to connect to the HPOM database server, you must provide the user details that have the select and connect permissions for the “openview” database here.
