Integrating Networking with Business Service Management

Body

I've published a new whitepaper titled Integrating Networking with Business Service Management.  This paper is a brief guide to using the new facilities in IBM® Tivoli® Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition​ (ITNM IP) to more closely integrate networking aspects with business services.  It leverages new capabilities of ITNM IP to automatically detect the "edge" of your network, so you can better represent the dependencies business services have on networking infrastructure in both IBM Tivoli Application Discovery Dependency Manager (TADDM) and IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager (TBSM).
 
The paper guides you through the following:

• Configuring ITNM IP to detect the network "edge" resources
• Configuring ITNM IP to display a view of just those resources
• Exporting the edge resources from ITNM IP, and importing them into TADDM
• Troubleshooting any naming discrepancies that might arise.
