System architecture

Ozeki enables two different integration solutions for HP Openview to send SMS: one uses the command line client, the other uses an intermediary file. Regardless of the different solutions their working principles are much the same.

When an alert happens HP Openview notices it and creates a report. This report can execute a command line exe file (command line SMS client) or can create an intermediary file. Ozeki NG SMS Gateway can accept the alert sent by the command line client, or it can read the intermediary file, and can translate it into a text SMS message. The SMS message, containing the information about the alert is sent to the mobile user through a GSM modem attached to the PC, where Ozeki NG SMS Gateway is installed (Figure 2). Ozeki NG SMS Gateway can send the message through a GSM modem or a GSM phone attached to the PC with a data cable or it can send it through the Internet by connecting to the short messages service center (SMSC) of an SMS service provider.

Sending the SMS messages through a modem is often a better choice. The reason for this is that a modem sends the SMS message through the air using a GSM radio link. Since transmitting the SMS message over the radio link does not require a working Internet connection, it can be used to alert corresponding people even if the Internet connection is not available.

How to implement SMS solution into HP Openview

To implement this solution, you can use one of two different approaches.

The first solution uses the command line exe client shipped with Ozeki NG SMS Gateway for managing the communication between HP Openview and Ozeki NG SMS Gateway.
