HP Toptools for Unicenter User Guide
7 Theory of Operation
HP Toptools for Unicenter installs software, also referred to as bridge components, on both the Unicenter console
and Toptools server.
7.1 HP Toptools for Unicenter Platform Bridge Component Processes
The platform bridge installation adds the following processes to the Unicenter console:
Process Purpose
HpttReclassification.exe
Prompts user for a Unicenter Repository name. After connecting, it traverses the
Repository for probable HP PC’s and servers performing a second-level SNMP and/or
DMI discovery. When an HP system is identified, it is reclassified. User can stop this
process any time by clicking the Stop button, and by clicking the Cancel button, the user
can exit the process
HpttOneTimeReclass.exe Reclassifies HP SNMP-based devices based on SNMP system object ID. (OID).
HpttDMIAlert.exe Processes incoming DMI alerts from HP PC’s.
HPTTLaunchAction.exe Launches selected Toptools menu item actions
HpttHomePageLaunch.exe Launches Toptools home page when invoked from menu
HpttRMCMenuActionLaunch.exe
Launches HP Toptools Remote Control card menu actions that are directed at a
Netserver.
HPTTfor UNicenterTNG_Service.exe Service that runs HP Reclassification following Unicenter discovery.
HpttRepository Data to Toptools.exe Transfers Unicenter’s Repository discovery data to Toptools.
HpttmodifyDSM.exe Modifies DSM configuration.
HpttremoveHPJDAgt.exe Removes JetDirect Agent
HpttSdTrpMsg.exe Sends trap messages to Unicenter’s Event Console.
HpttUnclassify.exe Unclassifies HP devices.
7.2 HP Toptools for Unicenter Server Bridge Component Process
The HP Toptools for Unicenter server bridge component installs on the Toptools server. The installation wizard
adds the hpttSrvrBrg process to Toptools that is controlled by the Toptools services manager rviewscm.exe. The
hpttSrvrBrg process receives 1
st level discovery information (e.g. node address) from the HpttRepository Data to
Toptools.exe process on the platform bridge. Discovery information from Unicenter populates the Toptools
database.
7.3 Modifications Done By Installation
On the Toptools Server, the HP Toptools for Unicenter component registers with the Toptools server as a process
controlled via the Toptools Service Control Manager (RViewSCM process), therefore providing the Toptools server
console control over stopping, starting, or monitoring status of this component process.
Installation of the server bridge also makes changes on the event management functions of the Toptools server.
Platform bridge installation performs the following modifications to Unicenter’s console:
• Copies files
• Creates HP classes within Unicenter’s Repository
• Loads trap definitions and MIBS
• Performs HP Reclassification
• Runs DSM wizard to create associations for new classes
• Resets DSM
