OBM Fundamentals (OBM100)

 

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
