BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management 11.3.04 ... Integrating Integrations that enable automation Integrating with BMC Helix CMDB

Configuring the TrueSight Environment for the BMC Helix CMDB integration

As a TrueSight Operations Management administrator, do the following:

  1. Import certificates into the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server.
  2. Configure the Helix Client Gateway.
  3. Configure the BMC Helix Change Management integration in TrueSight Infrastructure Management.
  4. Verify the integration.

This section explains each procedure in detail.


Step 1: Importing certificates into the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server

Do the following:

  1. Obtain the certificates from the Helix Network team or use the following URL to download them:
    https://testssl.onbmc.com/
    The following certificates are required:

    • Name: digicert_global_root.cer
      Alias: rootCA

    • Name: digicert_sha_256.cer
      Alias: intermediateCA

    • Name: onbmc_wildcard.cer
      Alias: onbmc_wildcardCA

      Keystore location

      The cacerts keystore is located at <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/lib/security.

      The pnserver.ks keystore is located at <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/pronto/conf.

  2. For TrueSight Operations Management version 11.3.02 or later, do the following to install the certificates in the TrueSight Operations Management keystore/truststore.
    1. On the TrueSight Presentation Server run the following command:
      pw certificate import BSR

    2. Enter the BMC Service Resolution server details <host:port> to download the certificates. 
      The port number is optional. If you do not enter the port number, the default port 443 is used.

  3. For TrueSight Operations Management version 11.3.01 or earlier, do the following to install the certificates in the TrueSight Operations Management keystore/truststore.

    1. On the computer where the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server is installed, back up the following files:

      • <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/bin/lib/security/cacerts
      • <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/jre/bin/pw/pronto/conf/pnserver.ks
    2. Run the following commands in the order shown below:

      1. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias rootCA -file digicert_global_root.cer

      2. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias intermediateCA -file digicert_sha_256.cer

      3. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias onbmc_wildcard -file onbmc_wildcard.cer

  4. Back up the <TrueSight Infrastructure Management Installation Directory>/pw/pronto/conf/messagebroker.ts file.

  5. Run the following commands in the order shown below:

      1. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias rootCA -file digicert_global_root.cer

      2. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias intermediateCA -file digicert_sha_256.cer

      3. keytool -printcert -sslserver <helix server name:port> -rfc | keytool -importcert -keystore ../../pronto/conf/pnserver.ks -storepass get2net -noprompt -alias onbmc_wildcard -file onbmc_wildcard.cer

  6. Restart the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server.


Step 2: Configuring the BMC Helix client gateway

  1. Install the Helix client gateway. For information, see the  BMC Helix documentation Open link .
  2. Back up the <gateway installed location>\<gateway_name>\kwic-5.9.13\conf\kwic_config.xml file.

  3. Copy the kwic_config.xml file to the proper location that you obtain from the BMC Helix network team.

    The pserver.conf file is located here:
    Windows: <installation_directory>\pw\server\etc\default
    Linux:  <installation_directory>/pw/server/etc/default

    For more information, see  Configuring the Publishing Server to integrate with an AR Server group Open link .
  12. Install the CMDB extension jar files that you received from the BMC Helix team. Do the following:

      1. Back up the pw/server/bin/pserver file.

      2. Stop the pserver. Use the following command:
        pw p e pserver

      3. Edit the in the pw/server/bin/pserver file as follows:

        1. Comment the older jar files:
          #PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/cmdbapi<old version>.jar"
          #PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/arapi<old version>..jar"
          #PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/arpluginsvr<old version>..jar"
          #PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/noeapi<old version>..jar"

        2. Add the new jar files:
          PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/cmdbapi<new_version>.jar"
          PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/arapi<new_version>._build001.jar"
          PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/arpluginsvr<new_version>._build001.jar"
          PS_CP="$PS_CP:$ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME/noeapi<new_version>..jar"

      4. Copy the jar files from the CMDB to the pw/cmdb/lib folder and change the permissions to 775 for the new files.  Do not remove the existing jar files because they are used by other processes.  The new jar files can exist along with the existing files.

      5. Start the pserver. Use the following command:
        pw p s pserver

      6. Close the publishing environment. Use the following command:
        penv close -e PROD

        Important: Closing the publishing environment removes all published data

        Closing the publishing environment removes all published data from the Cell and removes all publishing filters and published data from CMDB.

      7. Restart the publishing server.

      8. Once the publishing server starts and the output of psstat is Started, run the publish command to publish the data again.

      1. Back up the in the pw\server\bin pserver.bat file to a backup location.

      2. Stop the pserver. Use the following command:
        pw p e pserver

      3. Edit the pw\server\bin\pserver.bat file as follows:

        1. Remove the older jar files:
          rem set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\arapi<old version>.jar
          rem set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\arpluginsvr<old version>.jar
          rem set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\cmdbapi<old version>.jar
          rem set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\noeapi<old version>.jar

        2. Add the new jar files:
          set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\arapi<new version>_build001.jar
          set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\arpluginsvr<new version>__build001.jar
          set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\cmdbapi<new version>.jar
          set PS_CP=%PS_CP%;%ATRIUM_CMDB_HOME%\noeapi<new version>.jar

      4. Copy the jar files from the CMDB to the pw/cmdb/lib folder and change the permissions to 775 for the new files.  Do not remove the existing jar files because they are used by other processes. The new jar files can exist along with the existing files.

      5. Start the pserver. Use the following command:
        pw p s pserver

      6. Close the publishing environment. Use the following command:
        penv close -e PROD

        Important: Closing the publishing environment removes all published data

        Closing the publishing environment removes all published data from the Cell and removes all publishing filters and published data from CMDB.

      7. Restart the publishing server.

      8. Once the publishing server starts and the output of psstat is Started, run the publish command to publish the data again.

  13. Restart the TrueSight Infrastructure Management server.


Step 4: Verifying the integration

  1. Log in to the BMC Helix MidTier Server as the user given to you by the BMC Helix team.
  2. Go to Atrium Core > Atrium Core console.
  3. Execute the Impact module designer.
  4. Create a test model in the Impact module designer.
