About Business Applications in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
A Business Application is a collection of objects within Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager that constitutes a unit of management. The objects can be of different types.
One use case for Business Applications is as follows: Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager can discover some applications, such as some database applications, and display information about their related objects. In cases where Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is unable to discover an application, you can create a Business Application. For this purpose, you can create a representation of the application using a base object. For example, if the application MyApp is the only one that uses a specific disk group, MyAppDG, then the MyAppDG disk group can be used as the base object for the MyApp Business Application. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is then able to determine all associated objects for that disk group and collect that data for monitoring in the Business Application.
You can select one or more of the following objects when creating Business Applications:
  • Hosts
  • Volumes
  • Disk Groups
  • Service Groups
  • Databases
  • Exchange Servers
You can monitor the status of the set of associated objects, both in overview and in detail.
