Logical Management Operation Properties

Integration Modules
to move data from the discovery engine into the database. You can also load this
data by using the services configured in the integration framework.
Logical management operations identify the actions that integration modules
support, and the actions that the process management products request.
Examples of logical management operations are Get Status and Deploy Software.
Logical management operations act as interfaces between the process
management product and the integration module. You can design and develop
integration modules and process management products independently.
You can install logical management operation definitions with a product or
product component, such as an integration module. You also can create a logical
management operation definition in the Logical Management Operations
application.
The definition of a logical management operation contains the following
properties:
Name - The name of the action (for example, Get Deployment Status)
Namespace - The unique qualifier (for example,
com.ibm.tivoli.deployment)
Invocation pattern:
Synchronous - The process management product issues a request and
the integration module returns the results of the operation
immediately.
Asynchronous one-way - The process management product issues a
request, and no response is returned.
Asynchronous deferred response - The process management product
issues a request, and a token identifies the instance of the request. The
process management product passes the token as input to another
logical management operation, which then obtains the status of the
original request.
Asynchronous callback - The process management product issues a
request, and a token identifies the instance of the request. The
operational management product uses a token to perform a call-back
to identify and to report the status of the original request. The call-
back, which is provided by the integration module, inserts or updates
a business object.
Source business object - The input object for the logical management
operation.
Response business object - The output of the object for the logical
management operation.
