How to use WFA with OnCommand Core 5.0 as source?

[pwl]

is there a way to use OnCommand 5.0 core as a source?

after i upgraded my Operations Manager 4.0 to 5.0 , WFA can no longer contact the DFM database (user/password invalid)

I believe WFA will need to be installed on the OC Core server itself as remote connectivity may be disabled in the OC 5.0 DB.

There is no need to install WFA on the OC machine.

It is possible to connect WFA to OC 5.0, and several customers use that configuration. 

NetApp IT, which use WFA in production, work almost solely with OC 5.0.

Connecting to OC 5.0 works a little differently than previous versions of DFM and currently requires slight

manual intervention to complete the procedure.

We are currently working on a utility for this procedure, and expect it to be available early in September,

and will post it's availability in our community.
