Configuring change control
BMC Database Automation can be configured to work with BMC Remedy IT Service Management (ITSM) Change Management to track and control provisioning, patching, and Actions in your environment. This section describes how to configure the settings that BMC Database Automation uses to connect to the BMC Atrium Orchestrator server that mediates the connection to BMC Remedy ITSM.
