Integrating Operations Center software with some management systems requires the Operations Center ORB software. ORB software is installed during the installation or upgrade of the Operations Center software using the single Operations Center Installation CD.
Operations Center software uses ORB software to act as a broker between a client request for a service from a distributed object or component and the completion of that request. Components can find out about each other and exchange interface information while they are running. The ORB software is a required interface between adapters and several management systems to enable the proper interchange of information.
