Reconfiguring the BMC Digital Workplace server
You can use the BMC Digital Workplace configuration utility to change settings that were initially set during installation. For example, you can use this utility if the name of your BMC Remedy AR System server changes. If you set up a load balancer for your AR System server, use this utility to point your BMC Digital Workplace server to the load balancer instead of the AR System server.
Before you begin
Locate the configuration utility ux-application-configuration-version.jar in the DigitalWorkplace_HOME\dwp\ux-application-configuration folder, where DigitalWorkplace_HOME is the directory where BMC Digital Workplace is installed. The default installation location is as follows:
- (Windows) C:\Program Files\BMC Software\dwp\
- (Linux) /opt/bmc/dwp/
The following video (4:55) demonstrates how you can use the configuration utility to change the AR System server that BMC Digital Workplace uses.

|---|---|---|
-h or --host | host name | Specify the host name of the server. |
--port | port | Specify the port of the server. |
--pass | password | Specify the application password. If you change the application password, you can use this command to change the application password, even if the other values remain the same. |
-t or --tenant | Provider tenant ID | Specify the tenant to which these settings apply. For more information about multitenancy, see Configuring multitenancy. |
To reset provider settings
