MP Authoring Guide available for download

  • Article

Our original plan for the MP Authoring Guide was to publish sections on TechNet as they were completed but not make the entire guide available for download until all sections were complete.  We had quite a few requests to make the download available immediately though.  Apparently, there are quite a few of you out there who prefer to read in Word as opposed to online and even some who prefer to print and read on paper.

In any event, the guide exists for the community so if the community wants it available for download, then who am I to argue?  As of last night, the guide is available to download in Word format as part of the complete set of Operations Manager 2007 documentation.

Each time we add a new section to the guide, it will go immediately into the online version on TechNet, and we will publish an update to the downloadable version.  The document includes a publish date and a change history, so it should be clear which version you have at any given time.

As always, please send any feedback our way.  Making the download available earlier than we originally planned was a direct result of requests from the community, so please keep those comments coming.

    Hi Brian, "Overview The Operations Manager 2007 R2 technical documentation helps you plan, deploy, operate, and maintain Operations Manager 2007 R2. For information about the specific guides available in the library, seehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/opsmgr/bb498235.aspx."">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/opsmgr/bb498235.aspx." (quote from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=19bd0eb5-7ca0-41be-8c0f-2d95fe7ec636) But 'Released/Updated Date' is not updated here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/opsmgr/bb498235.aspx It's confuses.

    Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.PublishPerformanceData is in the Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Library.  It sounds like your management pack is missing a reference to that management pack.  I'll have a look at the guide and see about adding that to the procedure. In that procedure, SyncTime is being passed from the Monitor Type to the MyPerformanceScriptFiltered data source module.  It sounds like you either didn't define the SyncTime parameter on the module or the parameters are out of order. The module configuration requires that the parameters be ordered the same as the parameters on the module.  The procedure for creating the module puts SyncTime in between IntervalSeconds and Version which is the same order that they have to be defined in the configuration in the monitor type.  If you have a different order on the module, then you should match that order.

    Thanks for pointing that out.  You're correct - that date needs to be changed, and the link for reading it online looksl ike it needs to be changed.  I'm on it.

    The module list in the guide is not intended to be exhaustive.  Those are just the most common modules of each type.  It's intended to be a quick reference for someone relatively new to custom authoring. The complete module reference is part of the Management Pack Development Kit on MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533840.aspx.  There are still some modules to be documented, but there are quite a few already complete.  In addition to documenting more modules, that reference includes more detailed information each module type.  The MPDK is targeted at developers, but the reference information should be very readable to someone with a good understanding custom authoring. I thought we had a mention of the MPDK in the Authoring Guide, but we might do a better job of calling that out in the module listings.  We'll have a look at that for the next update.

    Hi Thanks for making the document downloadable. I am one of those guys that need a hard copy in front of me. I am glad to see you listing the modules in the document but unfortuatly the list does not seen to be complete. The module Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.BulkInsertBulkDataWriter is not in the list. Another thing I would like to see in explanations on how to use the modules expecially the not so common ones as the one I have listed above. Is there information anywhere of how to use that module. Thanks Robert
