Updating management packs and adding new onces

Hello Forum
I enjoy the use of SCOM to monitor our environment.
But i have Two questions:
1. Will updating management packs from the builtin utility remove any custom overrides and monitors?
For example i have crated custom disk monitors under the Windows Server Management Pack and Custom SQL monitors under the SQL sql management.
2. Why are only some management packs available from the builtin utility? for example Exchange 2010 and AD 2012 Management packs are downloads on the download center? Why not publish them to the builtin utility of SCOM?
Thanks for your time! 

Hi,
1. No, updating management packs will not remove custom overrides. However, with new mp's, new monitors may come, which change some of the monitors which you have overriden. Always read the MP documentation for new mps and test the new mp in a test environment.
2. Regarding the Exchange 2010, there have been some issues earlier, why it was taken off the online catalog. This will also give you the managment pack documentation, which you should always read.

Michael

  • Imported sealed Management Pack and its not showing up in Data Warehouse Job MPSyncJob

    Hello,
    When i try to Import a sealed Management Pack (with defined new Dimensions for Data Warehouse) it works fine, and it shows up under Management Packs under the Administration Pane. But its not showing up in the Data Warehouse Job "MPSyncJob".
    No errors in the Eventlog on the DW Management Server and cant see any errors in failed Data Warehouse Jobs either.
    I imported the MP three Days ago and still nothing.
    Now what?

  • I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

    The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
    Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the Firefox is being used

    I think I have a solution.
    First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
    Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
    Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
    This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
    I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
    Wa-la...History Gone!!!
    As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
    Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
    Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

  • Do we need both management Pack and ADP  for monitoring SOA suite 11g

    Hi,
    Do we need to Both management pack and ADP (OCAMM) Application Dependancy and Performance for monitoring SOA Suite 11g.
    I was creating a monitoring template for SOA Composite and SOA Infrastructure and wanted to know if I need to install additional ( management packs, ADP and Middleware Plugins ) packs to get an effective template.

    A management pack generally refers to the set of pages in EM Grid/Cloud Control which provide functionality for a given set of target types. Since EM Grid Control 11g, the ADP functionality has been part of the Grid Control release and the pages licensed via the Management Pack Plus for SOA or the SOA Management Pack EE.
    To populate the ADP pages with data, additional steps must be performed in order to deploy an ADP manager and ADP agents. Doing this is optional, depending on whether or not you require the additional capability that those pages provide.
    ADP data, however, are collected and stored separately from the core GC/CC metrics and are not related to the monitoring template functionality.

  • Create multiple management packs and groups

    Hi,
    I wonder if it is a way to create a lots of Groups and management packs automatically/scripted.
    My problem is that I have a list with about 200 services that I need to setup monitoring for.
    The monitoring are simple, its just if the service are started or stopped.
    I need to have one management pack and one group for each service.
    Like this:
    The monitor monitors the service "workstation" if its started or stopped.
    The monitor needs to be created in a management pack with this name: "Custom-Service-workstation"
    The agents that I want to monitor this on need to be members of the group "Group-Custom-Service-workstation"
    Please, please help me with this.

    Since updating my iphone and adding icloud, I can no longer retrieve my yahoo mail.  I've already exhausted all options in the settings menu on my iphone.  What next?  Thanks!

    I just want to be able to USE iCloud on my phone
    To do that, you don't go to iCloud.com on your iPhone. You use the apps that all your iCloud data is synced into, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, Safari (for bookmarks), Photos (for Photostream) etc.

  • ITunes U Public Site Manager and adding new content

    Probably just me missing something, but I am in the iTunes U Public Site Manager looking to add content to an existing collection. Since the update, I can't seem to find the "add to collection" button that used to exist. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Duncan,
    I appreciate your willingness to help. The site can be found here:
    http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/education-maine.gov
    I am the site administrator, and I want to add content to an existing collection. I have been adding content to existing collections since the site was created several years ago, but since the recent June 1 update to the Public Site Manager things have obviously changed and I cannot seem to find a way to add content. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
    As a work around, I created a new apple ID and added it as a "user" and then as a "contributor" to the collection I want to add content to. I then logged out and then in again as this new contributor, and I was able to add the content as before (the update). I was hoping that I would be able to log in as the administrator and upload content without having to use another login.

  • Verifying the Correct Signature Updates, Management Software, and Version

    I am working today at a Client Site where I installed several months ago a Cisco IPS 4240 Sensor. The Sensor is currently running Version 6.0(3)E1.
    I am not certain how to proceed with respect to signature updates on this box.
    Under signature definition, it lists the following:
    Signature Update S291.0 2007-06-18
    I have noticed on the Security Software Page for IPS that the latest Signature File is S336. Should I install this on the IPS? In order to perform this, will it take down the IPS unit?
    Also, there are several Management applications listed under the "Network IPS/IDS Management/Monitoring Software" heading, including: IME, IPC MC, and ICS. I am already using IDM as well as IEV respectively to Configure/ Monitor and then IEV to Alarm on certain Events. What are IME, IPC MC, and ICS and how are they different from IDM and IEV??

    IME = Intrusion Prevention Manager Express
    - IME is fairly new (released only a month or 2 ago) IME is a next generation of IEV. It does the event monitoring of IEV, but is also able to do configuration similar to IDM. So it is IEV and IDM in one tool. The configuration screens of IME will only work IPS 6.1, but the event monitoring screens will work with 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1.
    IPS MC = Intrusion Prevention System Management Center
    IPS MC was a part of VMS (VPN and Security Management System). IPS MC was configuration of a large number of sensors.
    IPS MC and VMS are both End Of Saled and were replaced with CSM
    CSM = Cisco Security Manager
    CSM is a multi-security device configuration management system. It is targeted at Enterprise customers with more than 5 sensors.
    ICS = Intrusion Containment System
    ICS was a product produced by Trend Micro Systems. Trend could create signatures for Viruses and Worms and then send an update to ICS and ICS would then create the signatures on the sensors. These signatures were known as the V signatures.
    ICS has been End of Saled
    So from your perspective you need not be concerned with IPS MC (VMS) or ICS.
    IME should be of interest to you as an upgrade from IEV (IME like IEV is available as part of your existing sensor support contracts and is not an additional charge).
    As you upgrade sensors to IPS v6.1 you might consider upgrading IEV to IME.
    CSM (and also MARS) would be of interest if you are going to manage more than 5 sensors. (IME and IEV are limited to 5 sensors).

  • Management packs and upgrades

    I am new to my position and to Service Manager. I can see such great potential of what Service Manager can do and how easy it could be to work with it however my company is afraid to make changes. They have said that not to far in the past
    they did some customization and when they did the upgrade to 2012 r2 they lost everything - data included. They couldn't give me quite enough details as those that performed the task are no longer here. It went along the lines of a technician built management
    packs that customized the screens. When they did the upgrade the management packs could no longer be used which resulted in them not being able to bring forward the data. They say they worked with Microsoft on the issue. From what I have been reading
    this just doesn't sound like something that could happen in this extreme. However, they are now adamant that we cannot customize anything because of this. They want to use the system however people are miserable with it as out of the box just doesn't
    fit what they need. How can I convince them that customization is not evil and precautions can be taken when upgrading where everything does not have to be redone?

    You're dealing with psychology. Your company had a bad experience and now don't even want to risk that bad experience again.
    It would definitely help to know what the heck your previous technicians did that could screw up Service Manager _that_ bad..especially if they were only customizing screens (I assume they were extending or creating forms).
    But.. for some general advice on how to keep customizations "safe" and maybe calm your manager's fears, these are the guidelines I follow:
    If your customizations include creating your own classes or relationships, always keep them in separate sealed management packs. Data warehouse extensions should also be kept in separate sealed MPs.
    Console tasks, custom forms/form extensions, should generally be kept in their own management packs (sealed or unsealed).
    Workflow rules, templates, and notification templates should be generally kept in their own unsealed management packs (so they can be easily modified from the console).
    Since this is an extensible system, you should be doing regular backups of the Service Manager database. That way if someone messes something up really bad, you can always restore from a backup and lose maybe a day's worth of data.
    Lastly, and most importantly, Service Manager is meant to be extended. Microsoft builds platforms. They don't build programs that can do everything. They build programs that can be _made_ to do everything. Every company is different..each has their
    own flare for process, their own take on how a program should work. Service Manager is flexible enough to allow you to introduce your own flare and your own take on things. Instead of adapting your processes to Service Manager, you can adapt Service Manager
    to your processes.
    The downside, of course, is that with flexibility comes risk. Folks who extend these programs should be pretty familiar with how the underlying platform works. But if you take necessary precautions (follow the guidelines, do regular backups, etc) you can
    reduce the risk significantly.
    That's just my 2 cents :)

  • Batch Input for VA31 and adding new partner

    Dear All,
    I have a already well running program, which is creating new scheduling agreement via transaction VA31 in batch input mode.
    Now, there is a new requirement to add one partner in the header. I made a recording and saw that there is a subcreen SAPLV09C. I extended the program, but doesn't matter I'm doing I always get the message:
    No batch input data for screen SAPMV45A 4002
    Does anyone has experience with adding new partners in the header and can explain me how to make the right development.
    Thanks in advance.
    Klaus

    Hi Klaus,
    If you get the error No Batch input data for screen proceed as follows:
    1. In the Installation Assistant mark the foreground checkbox (in the column FG of the Installation Assistant project view) of this specific eCATT.
    2. Activate the project again.
    3. Run the eCATT in foreground
