JMS overview

Overview

This chapter describes the NFM-P JMS implementation, including JMS client configuration, operation, and management. The NFM-P acts as a JMS provider for OSS clients that act as JMS consumers.

An OSS client can use JMS channels to receive the following types of near-real time event notifications:

• alarm

• object change

• statistics collection

• NFM-P system status

JMS is a published industry standard that is beyond the scope of this guide. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java for information about JMS.

To receive JMS event messages, a JMS client establishes a connection and subscribes to a JMS topic. See JMS topics in JMS subscriptions for NFM-P JMS topic information, and Appendix B, JMS events for information about specific JMS events.
