Installing the Operator Control Panel

This topic describes how to use the GUI installation program to install the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel application. This web application enables you to manipulate and control workflow execution.

Note

If you are installing a non-English version of the Operator Control Panel,  you must install it separately from the CDP. You must install the non-English OCP and CDP on separate Tomcat servers.

Non-English versions of the Operator Control Panel must be installed on servers set up for the associated locale.

Before you begin

  • You must have installed and completed any required configuration of the BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, the repository, and a configuration distribution peer (CDP).
  • BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, the repository, and the primary CDP must be running.
  • You must ensure that the target computer meets the minimum system requirements for your environment.
  • You must have completed the Operator Control Panel installation worksheet.
  • You must be logged on as an administrator and have administrator rights on the computer on which you install the Operator Control Panel.
    • On Microsoft Windows, you must have administrator permissions. 
    • On Linux and Solaris, any non-root user with write permission to the /opt/bmc directory can perform the installation.
      On Linux and Solaris, the non-root user must also have permission to run the following commands:
      • dmidecode -t 1 | grep Manufacturer
      • lsb_release -d
  • If you are installing on a Windows computer, ensure that Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is configured to recognize the installation program executable.
  • If you are installing on a Linux computer, run the rngd service to ensure that the system has adequate entropy (Run the rngd service on Linux computers).
  • You must have exited all other programs.

Important

You must install BMC Atrium Single Sign-On and all BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform server components on the same domain.
