time.

Windows, HP-UX, and Linux.

• HP SIM supports upgrading from version 4.x to version 5.0.
• The HP Services analysis tools, Web-Based Enterprise Services (WEBES) and Open
Service Event Manager (OSEM), generate service notifications to HP SIM through a

provided by WEBES and OSEM also provides status about the remote support
incident.
