Installing BMC Atrium Core
The installer guides you step-by-step through the installation process. When you start the installer, you can choose one or more features to install at one time. Because certain applications depend on a specific set of features, you must run the installer multiple times to install all of the features in the solution.
BMC Atrium Core installation comprises the following stages:
Stage 1: Prepare for the installation of BMC Atrium Core
Stage 2: Perform the pre-installation procedure for BMC Atrium Core
Stage 3: Install BMC Atrium Core
Stage 4: Perform the post-installation procedure for BMC Atrium Core
Stage 5: Install Atrium Integrator
Stage 6: Perform the post-installation procedures for Atrium Integrator
Stage 7: Perform the pre-installation procedures for BMC Configuration Drift Management
Stage 8: Install BMC Configuration Drift Management
Stage 9: Perform the post-installation procedures for BMC Configuration Drift Management
