Step 3 - Discovering Applications

This step assumes you have already discovered your hosts and provided discovery information for your applications. To discover an application, do the following;

•Detect the application (”Step A - Detect Your Applications” on page 117)

•(Discovery from HP SE Only)Obtain topology information about the application (”Step B - (Discovery from HP SE Only) Obtain the Topology” on page 118)

•Perform Get Details/Discovery Data Collection (”Step C - Obtain Discovery Data Collection or Get Details” on page 118)

Keep in mind the following:

•This section assumes you have already set up the discovery configurations for your applications as described in ”Step 2 - Setting Up Discovery for Applications” on page 102.

•If DNS records for your Microsoft Exchange servers are outdated or missing, the discovery of Microsoft Exchange may fail because Microsoft Exchange is dependant on Active Directory, which is dependant on DNS. Since Active Directory is dependant on DNS, Active Directory replication and Active Directory lookups may fail or contain errors if DNS records are not accurate.
