OVO SPI for ASAP Update
=======================

This update adds the ability to repeat messages to
OpenView.  This feature is useful in cases where a message
is accidentally acknowledged, and also helps those that sort
their OpenView messages by "Received Time".  Repeating
messages helps keep important messages at the top of the list.

*** Installation instructions for the OVO SPI for ASAP Update:
 
1) Download the OVOAdapter.zip file to the OpenView server.
 
2) Stop the ASAP OVO SPI if it is currently running, either
   by shutting down the ASAP Client, or by deactivating the
   OpenView adapter in the OEM configuration (in the OEM
   configuration, select the OpenView adapter, choose
   "Update", and set "Active" to "No").
 
3) Find the current ASAP OVO SPI executable; the file is named
   OVOAdapter.exe, and should be located in the
   "<Program Files>\Tandem\SPI for ASAP folder" on the OpenView
   server.  Rename the current OVOAdapter.exe file to
   OVOAdapter.exe.old.
 
4) Extract the new OVOAdapter.exe from the OVOAdapter.zip file
   downloaded in step 1, and copy it to the SPI for ASAP folder.
 
5) Restart the ASAP client or re-activate the OpenView adapter.
 
6) If you run into any problems with the new adapter, you can
   fall back to the old version simply by deleting the new
   OVOAdapter.exe file and renaming the old file back to
   OVOAdapter.exe.
 
Once you have the new adapter installed, you can configure it
in the same way as the old adapter (select the OpenView adapter
in the OEM adapter list, and choose "Configure...").  You will
see 3 new options on the "OVO" tab of the adapter configuration
dialog:
 
- Check the "Repeat Messages" check box to enable the message
  repeat option; uncheck it to disable repeating of messages.
  Message repeating is disabled by default.
 
- Choose the minimum severity level for which messages should be
  repeated; choices are: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, or All.
  For each given level, all messages of that severity or higher
  will be repeated.  For example, if you choose Minor, messages
  will be repeated for all Minor, Major, and Critical events;  if
  you choose Critical, messages will only be repeated for Critical
  events; etc.  If you choose All, a message will be written
  for every monitored object, including those in an Up/Normal state.
 
- Choose the repeat frequency, in minutes.
