SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Operations Manager 2005, after you install a product connector from the (MOM) 2000 Resource Kit, alerts are not forwarded to the third-party product. For example, alerts may not be forwarded after you install any one of the following product connectors:
  • MOM-to-Tivoli TEC
  • MOM-to-HP OVO
  • MOM-to-HP NNM
When this problem occurs, events that are similar to the following appear in the Application event log:

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com.

Note The event source varies according to the product connector that you install.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the product connector uses the following URL to connect to the MOM server:
http://mom-server/MCF/ConnectorService.asmx
By default, in MOM 2000 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), product connectors in the MOM Connector Framework (MCF) Connector Feature Pack use this URL.

RESOLUTION

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps to modify the registry on the computer where the product connector is installed:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Expand the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
    subkey, and then click ProductConnector.
  3. Double-click the MOMservers entry.
  4. Change the value of this entry to http://mom-server:1271/Connectorservice.asmx, where mom-server is the computer name of your MOM 2005 server.
  5. Stop and then restart the connector service.

MORE INFORMATION

The following product connectors are available for Microsoft Operations Manager:
  • Tivoli TEC 1.1
  • HP Openview 1.0
  • HP Network Node Manager 1.0
These product connectors use the MOM Connector Framework (MCF). Because MCF is backward-compatible, product connectors that use MCF also work in MOM 2005.
