Administering Adaptive Action Manager

Adaptive Action Manager is a component in WebSphere® Business Monitor. It receives situation events emitted by applications, selects appropriate actions based on rules and policies defined by users, and invokes one or more actions.

An administrator for WebSphere Business Monitor binds situation events to action services by associating an action template with situation events, through the Adaptive Action Manager administration console. The Adaptive Action Manager receives situation events, parses the received events, and selects an appropriate action by looking up the action in the action catalog, where information about bindings are stored. Finally, the Adaptive Action Manager invokes the selected action.
Important:
  • You must stop the Adaptive Action Manager before you make any changes.
  • The changes that are made while the Adaptive Action Manager is running are not effective until you stop and then restart the Adaptive Action Manager services.
  • If you stopped the Runtime database, the Adaptive Action Manager application must be stopped from the WebSphere Application Server administrative console first. Otherwise, incoming Alert situation events may be lost by Adaptive Action Manager.
  • When security is enabled on the WebSphere Process Server that is running on the Monitor Server machine, various roles need to be updated. Refer to the WebSphere Process Server Information Center for general information on security, role-based authorization, and roles and how to assign these roles to enable Action Manager access to Common Event Infrastructure (CEI).
