Modifying the IBRSD.conf file

You can configure some properties related to BMC Service Resolution that are available in the IBRSD.conf file on TrueSight Infrastructure Management, located at:

  • (Windows) <InstallationLocation>\pw\integrations\ibrsd\conf\IBRSD.conf
  • (Linux) <InstallationLocation>/pw/integrations/ibrsd/conf/IBRSD.conf

Alternatively, you can use this location path: %IBRSD_HOME%/conf

These properties can help you with incident management as a result of the integration between Infrastructure Management and Remedy IT Service Management (Remedy ITSM) or BMC Remedyforce.

Note

Properties other than the ones listed in the following table are internal and must not be changed.

PropertyDescription

Default: 300000

itsmIntrConnectionRetryCount

Indicates the maximum number of tries before declaring Remedy ITSM (or BMC Remedyforce) as unreachable.

Default: 3

ThreadPool.initialSize

Governs the number of incidents that must be created simultaneously. This value can be changed to increase the incident throughput as a result of the Infrastructure Management and Remedy ITSM (or BMC Remedyforce) integration.

Note: The value of this property must match the value of the ThreadPool.maxSize property.

Default: 2

ThreadPool.maxSize

Governs the number of incidents that must be created simultaneously. This value can be changed to increase the incident throughput as a result of the Infrastructure Management and Remedy ITSM (or BMC Remedyforce) integration.

Note: The value of this property must match the value of the ThreadPool.initialSize property.

Default: 5

  • armidtierport
  • ARSServerName

Useful if you want BMC Service Resolution to connect with a nonproduction BMC Remedyforce setup for testing purposes.

You need to add this parameter manually in the IBRSD.conf file.

The value must be in the format: <HTTP/HTTPS>://<RemedyforceHostName>/services/Soap/u/30.0

Example: remedyforce.sandbox=https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/30.0

delaybetweenpolling

Each time an incident is created, Infrastructure Management gets the incident information (as an INFO event) from Remedy ITSM. This value governs the delay between the two polls.
