Performing the BMC Atrium Core installation
The following topics are provided:
Recommendations
- To reduce installation time, do not install the products over a WAN.
- Because the BMC Atrium Core installer does not install Product Catalog Data, for information about the installation of Product Catalog Data, see:
- Ensure that your installation directory does not contain special characters.
- Accept the default values displayed in the installer panel.
- License the AR System server before you start installation.
- If you have BMC SIM in your environment, and the SMS database is on a different computer than the one where the BMC Atrium Integration Engine service runs, the BMC Atrium Integration Engine service must be configured to use a Windows Authentication logon in Connection Settings.
- The AR System server that the application connects to must be running.
- No users must be logged on to the AR System server during the installation.
- Disable the Record Object Relationships option from Administration Console > Configurations tab.
An initiation of the BMC Atrium Core installation from the command prompt might fail if you use parameters (representing the path to the BMC Atrium Core installation directory) with spaces. Ensure that you have enabled the creation of 8.3 file names and directories for all long file names and directories on your Windows computer, so that short paths are supported while installing BMC Atrium Core. For more information about 8.3 file names, see Microsoft Support.
