ConnectorFrameworkProxy.InitializeForTiers Method

Updated: April 16, 2012

Initializes the monitoring connector that is required to get alerts by calling GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers for all tiered Management Groups. The failures that occurred for the configured tiers are returned. Namespace: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConnectorFramework
Assembly: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager (in Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.dll)Dim instance As ConnectorFrameworkProxy Dim connectorId As Guid Dim failures As ConnectorTieredOperationFailure() instance.InitializeForTiers(connectorId, failures)Public Sub InitializeForTiers ( _ connectorId As Guid, _ <OutAttribute> ByRef failures As ConnectorTieredOperationFailure() _ )public void InitializeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, out ConnectorTieredOperationFailure[] failures )public: void InitializeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, [OutAttribute] array<ConnectorTieredOperationFailure^>^% failures )public void InitializeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, /** @attribute OutAttribute() */ /** @ref */ ConnectorTieredOperationFailure[] failures )ParametersconnectorIdThe globally unique identifier (GUID) for the monitoring connector to initialize.failuresThe array of failures that may have occurred for various tiers.

The MonitoringConnector must be set up and initialized before any alerts can be retrieved. This method initializes the monitoring connector for subsequent calls with the currently stored bookmark.

Attempting to Initialize a monitoring connector that is already initialized results in an exception with the "The connector is already in the given state." warning. It is advisable to perform a check of the Initialized property to determine if the monitoring connector is already initialized before attempting to Initialize the monitoring connector.
