Integrating BMC Digital Workplace with BMC HR Case Management

• From the BMC Remedy ITSM Suite deployment documentation: BMC HR Case Management 4.7 documentation

• From the BMC Remedy AR System documentation: Resetting the Application Service password

1. Install BMC HR Case Management.
   BMC HR Case Management 4.7 must be installed on a BMC Remedy Action Request System (BMC Remedy AR System) 9.1.00.001 or later server.
   As part of installation, you are prompted for the HR Case Management master account. The installer creates this account on the BMC Remedy AR System server.
2. If you have not yet installed BMC Digital Workplace, install it.
   As part of installation, you are prompted for the BMC Remedy AR System server.
   • If you have separate servers for BMC Remedy ITSM and BMC HR Case Management, select the server that has BMC Remedy ITSM installed. The BMC Remedy ITSM server must already have the ITSM integration patch installed.
   • If you have BMC HR Case Management installed on same AR System server as BMC Remedy ITSM, the BMC Digital Workplace installer automatically detects BMC HR Case Management and integrates with it. 
3. If you installed BMC Digital Workplace prior to BMC HR Case Management, or if you upgraded from an earlier version of BMC Digital Workplace, configure the connection to BMC HR Case Management.

1. 1. From the BMC Digital Workplace Admin console, select Configuration.
   2. Enable the two BMC HR Case Management providers: HRCM - service catalog pluggable provider and HRCM - knowledge pluggable provider .
   3. For both providers, enter the host name, port, and password.
   4. Reload the providers.
      
      Note: Ensure that HR Case - User Details pluggable provider and User Details pluggable provider are not simultaneously enabled. If you installed BMC Digital Workplace with only BMC HR Case Management, enable HR Case - User Details pluggable provider. For all other installation scenarios, enable User Details pluggable provider.

1. (Optional) Create sections in the Catalog.
2. Add HR solutions and knowledge articles to sections in the Catalog.
   
   • HR solutions can include eForms, which replace paper and PDF forms. For eForms to work in BMC Digital Workplace, open the BMC Digital Workplace Administration Console, click Configuration, and select the HRCM - service catalog pluggable provider. In the Provider Settings table, specify the BMC HR Case Management mid tier URL in the Midtier URL field, update the settings, and reload the providers.
   • You can also add sections to the catalog for the most viewed HR solutions and for the most viewed HR articles.

3. (Optional) Configure HR contacts 

4. Create users.
   If you have separate servers for BMC Remedy ITSM and BMC HR Case Management, user accounts in the COL:CORE:People form (on the BMC HR Case Management server) must have the same user accounts in the CTM:People form (on the BMC Remedy ITSM server).
   When you have BMC Remedy ITSM and BMC HR Case Management installed, the profile for users in BMC Digital Workplace comes from the CTM:People form in BMC Remedy ITSM. Accounts on the BMC HR Case Management server are required for self-service users to open HR cases and to search HR knowledge articles.
   If someone has an account on the BMC Remedy ITSM server but not on the BMC HR Case Management server, that person will be able to access only non-HR catalog items. If someone has an account on the BMC HR Case Management server, but not on the BMC Remedy ITSM server, that person will not be able to login to BMC Digital Workplace.
