Installing BMC Atrium Core Web Services components

Ensure that you install BMC Atrium Core Web Services components as follows:

• Install BMC Atrium Core Web Services and BMC Atrium Core Web Registry on the same computer.
  
  

• We recommend to install BMC Atrium Core Web Services on a server different than the server where BMC CMDB is installed.
  However, in a server group environment, if you cannot follow this recommendation and you need to install BMC Atrium Core Web Services in the same machine as BMC CMDB; then you must install both (BMC Atrium Core Web Services and BMC CMDB) on the primary server only.
  
  

Before you begin

• Install Apache Tomcat on your machine as a service (WINDOWS) or as a non-service (UNIX). For instructions, see  Tomcat installation . For Tomcat version, see  BMC SOLUTION AND PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AND COMPATIBILITY UTILITY (SPAC)
