Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager/Tivoli Business Service Manager Integration Solution - Second edition including a virtual center and a monitored custom application example

IBM® Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) and Tivoli Business Service Manager (TBSM) are designed to work together, and their primary functions complement each other. Configuring this integration requires some steps to be taken during and after installation. This solution guide provides an overview of those steps, and their benefits.
This solution guide demonstrates the Virtual Center support and shows the ability to update TBSM portlets for custom servers and business applications that are discovered or created by TADDM. The Virtual Center sensor discovers VMware details for the following versions:

• VMware Virtual Center Server Version 2.5
• VMware vCenter Server Version 4.0 and 4.1

This guide demonstrates TADDM Version 7.2.1 and TBSM Version 4.2.1 with TBSM discovery library toolkit (DLT) IF003. The toolkit is configured with a JDBC connection, which is the fastest available interface method with TADDM. The toolkit is used to load data into TBSM from discovery library adapter (DLA) files or by pulling configuration management data base (CMDB) data from TADDM.
