Unified Service Modeling plug-in
This plug-in provides an interface for BMC Remedy AR System applications like BMC Service Request Management and BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to access USM related features through the vendor form. The plug-in name is BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.
Important
The USM plug-in is used for specific purposes in BMC products, and it cannot be used for any other purpose in this release.
Plug-in type
The Unified Service Modeling plug-in is a Java-based ARDBC plug-in available in BMC Atrium Core versions 7.6.04 and above. This plug-in is for internal BMC usage.
Communication with back office applications
The USM plug-in invokes the USM functionality through the getListEntryWithFields and getEntry queries that are performed against the vendor form CMDB:USMAPIInterface. Queries are passed as a series of parameters and values, where the first parameter indicates the USM API function to perform. For example: "function" = "cmdbROCreate".
The general syntax for the query is:"parameter1" = "value1" AND "parameter2" = "value2" AND ...
AR System server connectivity
AR Server invokes this plug-in when you issue queries against the vendor form CMDB:USMAPIInterface. The USM plug-in generates CMDB/AR APIs using the plug-in context that is passed through the ARDBC interface (getListEntryWithField, getEntry, and so on).
Configuration information
The USM plug-in receives its configuration from the AR System Administration:Plugin Server Configuration form.
The following table lists the supported configuration parameters:
User Defined Elements | Default Value |
|---|---|
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.perform_reconcile | false |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.golden_dataset | BMC.ASSET |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.reconcile_jobname | BMC Sample - Identification and Merge |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.reconcile_dataset_source | BMC.SAMPLE |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.reconcile_dataset_target | BMC.ASSET |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.reconcile_wait_interval | 1 |
BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.reconcile_wait_in_secs | 20 |
To configure BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API.userDefined.private_rpc_socket parameter
Perform the following steps to manually add the BMC.ARDBC.ATRUIN.API.userDefined.private_rpc parameter:
- Log in to the AR System server.
- Open AR System Administration > Server Information > Plug-in Server Configuration.
- Select BMC.RDBC.ATRIUM.API plug-in.
- Click Modify.
- Click
button in the User Defined Elements section and manually add the parameter. - Click OK.
In BMC Atrium Core version 9.1.03 and later, you can specify values serially between 300867 to 300886, and 390698 or 390699 for RPC.
The AR System Administration:AR System Configuration Generic UI form should have the configuration information as follows:
Server-Plugin-Alias: BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API BMC.ARDBC.ATRIUM.API <host name>:port number
