Changing the settings for assessments in IBM OpenPages Operational Risk Management

If you haven't created any objects yet, you can change the settings for risk assessments. These settings are used by IBM OpenPages® Operational Risk Management.

About this task

When you install OpenPages, you specify the following settings for ORM: Module Assessment Method (qualitative or quantitative), Total Likelihood Count, and Total Impact Count.

You can change these settings later by running a script. The script updates a loader file, which you then import into OpenPages to reconfigure ORM.
Note: If you've already created objects, you can run the script, but any existing objects are not updated. You might need to do some manual remediation. The script is designed for fresh installations of ORM.

Procedure

  1. Ensure you are logged in to the Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster where OpenPages is installed.
  2. Run the following command to download the AssessmentMethodUpdate.zip file to the local machine. 
    oc cp -n ${INSTANCE_NAMESPACE} openpages-${OPENPAGES_INSTANCE_NAME}-sts-0:/opt/ibm/OpenPages/AssessmentMethodUpdate.zip AssessmentMethodUpdate.zip
  3. Extract the AssessmentMethodUpdate.zip file into a new directory.
  4. Go to the <new_directory>/AssessmentMethodUpdate directory where <new_directory> is the name of the directory you created in the previous step.
  5. Set javahome in the following file: post_install_update_ORM_assessment_settings.sh
  6. Run the script: 
    ./post_install_update_ORM_assessment_settings.sh <likelihood_count> <impact_count> <assessment_method_type>
    Where:
    • <likelihood_count> is a value between 1 and 10
    • <impact_count> is a value between 1 and 10
    • <assessment_method_type> is qualitative or quantitative
    The script modifies the following loader file with the settings that you passed to the script: <new_directory>/ORM/AssessmentMethodUpdate_PostInstall/ORM-assessment-settings-op-config.xml
  7. Import the loader file into OpenPages. You can use ObjectManager or Import Configuration.
    ObjectManager
    Run the following command to authenticate using your Cloud Pak for Data username and your Cloud Pak for Data API key.
    ObjectManager l c admin <API-Key> <path_to_xml_file> ORM-assessment-settings

    You generate the API key in Cloud Pak for Data. For more information, see Generating API keys for authentication.

    Import Configuration
    Click Administration menu > System Migration > Import Configuration. Validate the <new_directory>/ORM/AssessmentMethodUpdate_PostInstall/ORM-assessment-settings-op-config.xml file and then import it.
    For more information, see Importing configuration items to the target environment.
  8. Verify the changes.
    1. Log in to OpenPages.
    2. Click Administration menu > Solution Configuration > Calculations.
    3. Verify that the calculation for the assessment type that you chose is enabled.
      For example, if you changed the assessment type to Qualitative, verify that Qualitative Risk Rating is enabled and Quantitative Risk Rating is disabled.
