MS SCOM - Accessing Data

About Accessing MS SCOM Data

The MS SCOM adapter can read performance data from the SQL Server Operations Manager data warehouse. For the MS SCOM adapter, the relational database must be a Microsoft SQL Server database. The MS SCOM adapter captures the performance data from Windows environments.
The SAS IT Resource Management adapter for MS SCOM supplies a data model and reports for the System Center Management Pack for Windows Server Operating System.
Note: In SAS IT Resource Management 3.6 and later, the data model is updated to extract the 2003, 2008, and 2012 version measurements. If you are using previous releases of SAS IT Resource Management and are unable to migrate to SAS IT Resource Management 3.6 or 3.7, you can use the %RMMSCOM macro. This macro supports the extraction of the measurements of all other management packs (from any management pack version later than 2003). For information about how to run the %RMMSCOM macro, see %RMMSSCOM.
The MS SCOM data source is SQL Server Database. Therefore, you need to set up the ODBC server definition in order to access the data from the database.
The data from the SQL Server database is input directly into the Adapter Setup wizard. Once ODBC setup is defined, you can create the database server and set up the library that points to the database in SAS IT Resource Management or in SAS Management Console. After the library is defined, it can be specified as the input database to the MS SCOM staging transformation.
Note: For more information about setting up an ODBC server definition, see Preparing a Database Adapter for Staging.
