Abstract

IBM® Intelligent Operations Center is an integrated solution. It provides a rich set of capabilities and line-of-business tools that business users with domain expertise and no technical background can use immediately.

IBM Intelligent Operations Center also provides services and extension points that developers can use to extend the IBM Intelligent Operations Center standard functions and develop capabilities that are specific to the domain and customer requirements. Using the programming model can help you achieve the following benefits:

  • Meet domain-specific and customer's requirements by extending the based solution.

  • Improve users' experience by customizing the user interface to meet their needs.

  • Significantly improve time-to-value by automatically processing incoming data and defining the criteria by which data items are routed to specific components, such as key performance indicators (KPIs), standard operating procedures (SOPs), and integration topics.

  • Integrate IBM Intelligent Operations Center with other systems to share data, and visualize and act on events.

Contents

This IBM® Redbooks® Solution Guide provides a high-level overview of the IBM Intelligent Operations Center V1.6.0.1 programming model and extension points that developers can use to customize the solution for the target environment.

IBM Intelligent Operations Center includes an application-based programming model that supports all the interactions with the solution components. The programming model is based on the industry standards Representational State Transfer (REST) and Java technologies. IBM Intelligent Operations Center includes a full set of REST and Java APIs that provide a simplified development environment and make the platform easy to extend and customize for a large community of developers. The services that are provided with IBM Intelligent Operations Center enable access to the data in the database, and the capability to process the data and act on it. The services can be accessed from client-side code through the REST service interface and from server-side code through the Java APIs.

IBM Intelligent Operations Center provides the base platform for IBM and IBM Business Partners to build end-to-end solutions for various domains. IBM Intelligent Operations Center can be extended and customized by using either line of business (LOB) configuration tools that do not require programming skills, or the REST and Java services and extension points that are part of the programming model (see Figure 1).

Did you know?

Today, most people around the world live in urban areas. In the years to come, the percentage of people who are living in cities will continue to rise with the population. By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities.

Citizens and businesses are placing increasing demands on leaders to innovate to progress. People are becoming increasingly more connected through social media, and massive amounts of new data are created every day. As a result, leaders are forced to determine ways to harness and drive insight and actions from the information that they have available to create more value for their citizens, drive sustainability, and enhance the quality of life.

Open API adoption, especially REST-based interfaces, has grown dramatically in the last couple of years, allowing a large community of users and developers to identify new uses for existing data and infrastructure.


Business value

Platform APIs and extension points enhance the value of the end-to-end solution by promoting co-innovation and new ways to use the platform's capabilities. The IBM Intelligent Operations Center programming model provides flexibility in implementing new capabilities that improve the user's experience, productivity, and time-to-value.

Based on popular technologies (REST and Java services) and built-in configuration tools, the IBM Intelligent Operations Center programming model enables a large community of developers and business users to rapidly extend and customize the base solution to meet domain-specific needs.

In addition, the IBM Intelligent Operations Center solution provides the following business benefits:
